Five to forty acres south of Alpine. Warranty deed, recorded road easement, and owner financing at 10% down. Here is what it costs and how buying works.
A small off-grid land community on part of a working cattle ranch south of Alpine, Texas. Parcels are sold deeded with recorded road access, and owners supply their own solar, water, and septic.
Per parcel, not per acre. Survey and closing costs are included. Payments shown are with 10% down at 9.9% over ten years.
Most owners run a 4 to 6 kW array and a battery bank. It handles a small house without much thought, except a cloudy week in January.
Wells on this side of the ranch have come in between 450 and 700 feet. Most people haul water first, then add catchment, then decide whether to drill.
Groceries, fuel, hardware, and the hospital. Freight and propane trucks come to your parcel. Mail goes to a PO box in town.
One carrier works from the higher parcels. Nearly everyone ends up on satellite internet.
Buying land
Water, septic, financing, the road, and living in an RV while you build.
Highs in the 70s, cold clear nights, and no snakes on the trail to the corner pins. Ask for the plat and set up a Saturday tour.
