A reserve price is the minimum price the seller will accept. This price is hidden from bidders. To win, a bidder must have the highest bid and have met or exceeded the reserve price.
This listing costs us money. Please bid only if you are serious about purchasing the property.
The photos of the buildings and pool are of the Terlingua Ranch Lodge and are not of the actual tract for sale.
You are bidding on the full purchase price.
We've probably all said, "all the good opportunities are gone." Well,
maybe not.
In the vast Big Bend country of far west Texas there is a land of canyons,
high mountains, deep ravines and panoramic views. The area is sparsely
populated and it's a long way to even a medium sized city.
You can expect to see wild life such as deer, javelina, quail and dove, as
well as many others. There's a tremendous variety of desert plants. The
air is clean and clear. This is home to Big Bend National Park, one of the
nation's largest, and Big Bend Ranch State Park, the largest state park in
Texas. Mexico is just across the river (Rio Grande).
This gorgeous country has something for everyone. If you yearn for your own
piece of ground where you can build a house, pitch a tent, or just relax and
enjoy the scenery, this is it. If you're looking for a place to hunt deer, quail, doves, and javelina, or to pick up minerals and Indian artifacts, this is your place!
Yet many Texans call this Texas' best-kept secret, because most Texans don't
know about it, let alone most non-Texans.
Which brings us back to opportunity. Nowhere in the desert southwest--not
in Arizona, New Mexico, or California--will you find better country. The
big difference is price. If somebody were selling new cars in west Texas at
10% of the regular dealer price, people would beat a path to his door.
Before long, the prices would adjust. Economists call this a "market
inefficiency". Land for which you'd expect to pay thousands an acre is
available for a few hundred an acre.
Like any market inefficiency, it won't last. I think the only reason for it
is that not many people know about it. But that's changing. Ask yourself:
how much nice rural land is available where you live for under $500 an
acre?
The land listed here has road access. Following the auction, we will quickly provide you with a recorded warranty
