Welcome to the first issue of Texas Land Deals.
Every Friday, I sort through new Texas land listings and send you a short list worth opening with different budgets, different regions, and no endless scrolling.
This week’s five picks range from an unrestricted 10-acre tract with owner financing for $55,000 to a 580-acre legacy ranch in Northeast Texas.
Prices, availability, acreage, utilities, restrictions, and financing can change. Verify every material fact with the listing agent and your own due diligence before making a decision.
20 Private Acres in Comanche County
This gated, secluded tract combines usable acreage with improvements buyers often have to add later: a well and pump, electricity, perimeter and cross fencing, deer feeders, and blinds. The listing also advertises a wildlife exemption and reflects a reduction from $220,000.
What’s the catch? The property has a POA, reported minimal restrictions, and a $500 annual fee. Confirm the current restrictions, water system condition, electric service, exemption status, survey, and access before relying on the listing copy.
Four More Texas Land Finds
10.27 Unrestricted Acres Near Seagraves
The lowest entry price in this week’s lineup. The listing advertises no restrictions, owner financing, and power nearby.
What’s the catch? “Power nearby” does not mean power is connected. Verify legal access, well requirements, utility costs, survey, and the complete owner-financing terms.
View the listing →27.57 Acres Near Eden
More than 27 acres at one of the lowest per-acre prices in this issue makes this a useful comparison for buyers prioritizing land quantity.
What’s the catch? The available listing details are thin. Treat utilities, water, road frontage, restrictions, mineral rights, fencing, and access as unanswered questions until confirmed.
View the listing →13 Acres Outside Woodson
A manageable acreage size at a mid-range price for someone who wants a rural getaway without taking on a massive ranch.
What’s the catch? Verify restrictions, utilities, water, maintained-road access, floodplain exposure, and whether a current survey is available.
View the listing →Nearly 580 Acres Near Linden
This is the scale outlier: a large Northeast Texas ranch with a per-acre asking price below several much smaller tracts in the issue. Current marketing reports agricultural exemption status, no zoning, and electricity connected.
What’s the catch? At this price and scale, confirm exactly what acreage, improvements, equipment, water rights, timber, mineral interests, easements, and exemptions convey. Older online information at this address may describe a prior sale.
View the listing →“Owner Financing Available” Is Only the Beginning
Owner financing means the seller may accept payments instead of requiring a traditional bank loan. It does not tell you the down payment, interest rate, payment schedule, balloon payment, prepayment rules, closing costs, or what happens after a missed payment. Get the complete terms in writing and compare the total cost—not just the monthly payment.
When Two Acreage Numbers Disagree, Stop
This week, one alert advertised 41 acres for $15,000 while another detail on the page showed 18,000 square feet—only about 0.41 acre. That listing did not make the cut.
Before you treat any price as a bargain, match the advertised acreage against the legal description, current survey, county appraisal record, and the listing agent’s written confirmation. A cheap price per acre is meaningless if the acreage is wrong.
