How to Find the Perfect Land for Sale in West Texas

When it comes to finding ranch land for sale in Texas, we know the importance of the investment you're making. But, how do you know which piece of land is right for you?

Here's a short list of what to look for and how to find it: 

No. 1 - A Guaranteed Water Source 

If you dream of building a ranch in Texas, one of your first concerns will always be water. Whether you need it for livestock, crops, or for your own consumption, having a reliable and clean source of water is a must for any ranch. 

Make sure you have the water rights when you purchase the property and you should be able to easily secure a guaranteed source for all of your watering needs. 

No. 2 - Evaluating the Soil 

The quality of a rancher's soil will determine the health of their crops. If crop production is important to you, you should thoroughly evaluate the soil before buying any land.

Ask the seller to provide you with information on past farming practices and  request a profile of the soil, which they should have on hand. 

No. 3 - Amenities and Recreational Activities

When you're a hard working rancher or land owner, you probably look forward to the times when you can relax and enjoy some recreational activities.  When you find land for sale that offers these type of amenities, you're never too far away from fun with friends and family. 

Do you enjoy:

• Hiking?
• Camping?
• Hunting?
• Fishing? 
• RVing? 

If so, land ownership will be your dream come true! Just make sure you  have easy access to your favorite past times by visiting the land in-person before making a final decision. 

Questions to Ask Before Buying 

• How Much Grass is on the Land? 
• Are there weeds on the land? If so, what kind?
• Is there easy access by way of public roads?
