Hi,
I have a property, 2 five acre plots
side by side about 75 miles SSW of Odessa-Midland Texas. I am not sure if it is USDA Zone 7b or 8a (its right on the border when you look at the map) but it is definitely dryland Trans-pecos environment. The town of Pecos is about a 17 mile drive to the North.I will
sell this 10 acres together for 340.00 per acre...total price $3,400.00 . If you wish financing, I can do it for 8%. I do not believe there is any building code per se in Reeves County, TX beyond approval of a septic system (which, if I were building, I'd get a variance.) Takes are less than $80.00 per year on this property.
I am selling to put the money into another property somewhat more South. I had the following ideas for projects for this site:
Living
fence on the perimeter consisting of African acacias, Jujube, mesquites, honeylocust, hackberry and mountain mahogany. Bufelgrass or
native short grasses to
feed livestock. Live oak , Afghan pine and Cedar of Lebanon for really spectacular shade, adobe/earth sheltered housing. Heat tollerant livestock such as Mouflon sheep or perhaps Blackbuck antelope. Let me know there is any interest for this property. Also, I sense that there is great excitement about
permaculture in this region, I have met several folks interested in some very smart dryland systems.
