These photos are from the surrounding area, not this exact parcel. They show the kind of country the lot sits in.
Twenty acres of high desert in Sierra Prieto, north of Sierra Blanca, with no road or trail reaching it today and no power anywhere near. What it has is size, sky, and a basis that reflects the access. This is a hold: ground you own outright while the county grows a road toward it, not ground you visit on Saturday.
Some Land You Buy for the Long Game
Not every piece of ground is for camping on this weekend. Some of it is for owning: twenty acres with your name on the deed, held at a basis that will never be this low again once somebody cuts a road to it. If you've ever wanted to own a real stretch of West Texas without a payment that hurts, this is what that looks like at the start.
Twenty acres of high desert in Sierra Prieto, a long rectangle with the Guadalupe Mountains off to the northeast and the whole county of Hudspeth spread out around it. Nothing on it, nothing near it, and nothing the county wants from you except that whatever you build someday handles its own water and sewage. Solar and a well turn it into a homestead in a year you choose (or your kids choose, which is the other way twenty acres gets used).
You're north of Sierra Blanca and roughly an hour and a half east of El Paso. Hudspeth County covers more ground than Delaware and Rhode Island put together and has about three thousand people in it, which is one way to say the neighbors are not a problem.
Here's the plain version: there is no road or trail to this parcel today. Nothing reaches it, and getting on means crossing ground you don't own with permission you don't yet have (that is the entire reason the basis is what it is).
Land like this has been waiting a long time for a road. It can wait a little longer for you.
Is this your kind of land
A homestead, off-grid cabin, or long-term owner-built residence on quiet, flat West Texas acreage with no HOA restrictions on construction.
Not a fit for RV living, seasonal camping, or temporary structures. This land requires a permitted dwelling (house, modular, manufactured, or tiny home) as your primary use.
On the ground
The red outline on the map is approximate. It is drawn from county records to show roughly where the lot sits, not a surveyed boundary.
Corner coordinates are approximate. Verify against the recorded plat before relying on them.
The record
† From county maps and records. Check with the county, or ask your Land Specialist what we have on file.
Dig deeper
Water: On-site: None. Options: Well or Haul. Would be a well, water haul and holding tank or other similar option
Sewer / septic: On-site: None. Options: Septic.
This is a hold first. Nothing reaches the parcel today, so the near-term use is owning it, and the long-term use is whatever you build once a way in exists: the county allows a site-built, manufactured, modular, or tiny home with a development permit and a septic permit, powered by solar, wind, or a generator, watered by a registered well or a hauled tank with covered storage. The recorded restrictions add that nobody lives on the lot until septic, water, and fuel are in, nobody camps in a tent or RV, and nobody hunts or grazes until it is fenced. A Land Specialist can tell you what working out access would involve.
