Hello Dennis my name is jack I live in beaumont texas I am going to buy a 20acre plot in the sunset ranch estate I own a water well drilling rig which can drill up to a 6" water well and can drill down to 2.000 ft I have drilled several water wells just not out there but I have drill a lot of oil wells out in west Texas so I have plenty of experience in drilling for oil &water if anyone would like to chip in to drill a water well I am willing to bring my drilling rig down there and drill some water wells for people or I could just drill a well on the 20acres I buy and people could get water from there and every one who put up some front money to help pay for drilling the well and setting it up could have all the water they need for free and other people who would want water could get it from my well for a low price and that would help pay for the up keep of the well if you are anyone else is interested they can contact me at 409-207-2891 and I will answer any of their questions and explain to them about the up front money and the water deal if they are interested or even drilling them a well hope to here from you or who ever else that may be interested you can also text me at [email protected]

Hello, just notice your post. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who is in need of water. 3 month ago started buying land in Sierra Blanca as well. I have 100 acres and have build more than one home here for the family. Was going to buy a 65,000 tank, but need water delivery. Have found any answers yet. Doing solar panels and I hope to get a fuel tank installed. Still researching that part. If you hear any can you please notify me please. Would be a blessing. Thank you in advance.

to get a 911 address you must have your plot from your single piece of land that you will have home on measured from the main road with your plot maps and area measured and marked on it, until it reaches your driveway....... then you take it to the Sierra Blanca courthouse where they will process it down to El Paso then send it back to you a certificate of 911 address, an then go to the post office they will give you a post office box with your address for a mailing address. The water company in Sierra Blanca for FILLING WATER that YOU haul. Although there are water haulers who will truck in water in Dell and Van Horn that will tote it to you. Water tanks can be bought at Tractor supply. or El Paso craigslist under farming header has some for 80.00 for 275 ,gallon ones , or smaller ones(30g) for easy haulsf or 16.00.. You can pick up truck water tank containers from Tractor supply company or lowes or home depot. You can pick up 12volt water transfer pumps too which is easy to switch to your tanks. You can use that same one to hook on a solar power for your home use . or with a volt battery. gallon for You can also find portable water heaters that work on propane,that have pumps attached for your whole water needs. So its a good investment. Home Depot in El Paso rents tractors, trailers ect. You can get deals for weekend or holiday use a few extra days for same price as a weekday. The ECCO TEMP L5 is a good one...you can find it on amazon or its own web link... Water tanks ....http://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/water-storage-tank-550-gal?cm_vc=IOPDP1 and https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=eccotemp&tag=mh0b-20&index=aps&hvadid=78546365804344&hvqmt=p&hvbmt=bp&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_83f07imwzc_p or the pickup transfer tank.... http://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/pickup-tank-210-gal-28-in-h-x-51-in-dia Hope this helps people . you can look on those links and see bigger or smaller versions.. here too is the transfer pump 12 volt ....http://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/high-flo-12-volt-ag-sprayer-pump-35-psi?cm_vc=-10005 .

Hi Slav, I found your site a few months back and am just finding time to post a quick note. Me and my wife bought 870 acres about a year and a half ago and will be making it our retirement ranch. Our land is located in the Blue Qual Phase III plot. Our plan is to be completely off the grid using wind as the primary electrical source and solar as a backup. Our water usage will have a grey tank which will be filtered for landscape use and ground tanks for live stock. We are currently looking into drilling of wells and will post any info we finfd on it. I did talk to a few folks in Sierra Blanca and was told water can be hit at 500 ft. but it is not always potable at that depth. I was told that I may need to go deeper for good potable water. I will post up again as I get info to share.

Hi Dennis, Good to meet future neighbors. I have been delayed in my research because my work got very busy. I have looked at the maps of the aquifer's in the area and also saw many reports of water at 500'. I suspect I will need to go deeper based off my location to the aquifers. My property, I just increased to 950 acres, is between FM1111 and Richardson Pass and between Gazette Rd and Johnson Run. I can post links to the aquifers and data that I have found. I will also contact you directly. I go over to my land as often as I can to slowly work at it. I plan on working another 8 years before retiring on my land so I'm taking it slow and steady.

You might be the only person who asks all the important questions BEFORE buying. Drilling a well will probably cost 20-30 thousand. No power so a solar system or generators are needed. Realize that you need a substantial amount of cash to install basic items that will create comfortable living conditions. Septic system etc. The county will not let you live on the property without a septic system. Do all your research before buying.

No, this is not true. The only thing is that anything under 10 acres must have an aerobic septic system which is very hard to come by for the area and while living off the grid. They are trying to keep companies from selling parcels this small because it has caused many issues and obstacles for the unsuspecting land buyer.

Joe Blow, did you decide if or did you build your drilling rig for water? My wife and I purchased 200 acres out there and we're trying to figure out how or means for a water supply. I've been looking into potable water tanks. You can email me at [email protected] Thank you.

Thank you for posting that info about the water company. I was starting to worry about water situation since there is no way I could afford to dig a well on my small pension. I would like to be there already but there's so much to do to prepare but thanks to you I am one step closer. Thanks again

Hello all. I am under contract for two adjoining 20 acre parcels on Indian Springs Rd., south of I-10. Land was advertised with "power on the land". I would like to come out, clear a few roads, and have electric installed further onto the property as a first step, but I read somewhere online that regulations require water/septic to be installed BEFORE power companies can legally hook up electric. Does anybody know if this is true? My goal was to live in a self-contained RV with electric power for appliances/tv, then work on the other site improvements afterward. Any info would be great! Thanks, Tom (978)870-3107 (also, does anyone have a skid steer/small dozer to rent to clear land with?)

Hello all, I have recently found out some information regarding water. I visited the water company and asked about the water purchase. The water company told me that you sign a contract with them for water. You get an account and this is how they monitor how much water you take when you fill your portable tank. The cost is $25 per month for 2000 gallons. The catch ; you pay $25 a month whether you get your allotment or not. If you go over the $25 per month, you will be charged extra. I also heard there is an old timer in town that will drill a well for $7500 and guarantee water. I still need to get more info about the well driller.

I also have info on property tax. If you have not paid off your property, then you are currently paying a reduced tax rate that was given to Sunset Ranches. How do I know this ? I was told this by the appraiser's office when I called them. Why did I call the appraisal office ? Because I recently got a letter from them about property that I paid for. It was the new appraisal of the property and to inform me of the 400.6% tax increase. Yes, I said 400.6% tax increase. There is nothing special about this property and it is not on the road. In fact it is 1.5 miles off the road. I can't say for everyone else but this is what has happened with me.
Reply
If you don't mind, it would be helpful to know a dollar amount for the taxes. To help put it in perspective, so for example, how much for a 20 acre parcel, per year. Currently the taxes on my parcels are paid by the developer (current owner, lender), so I probably have another 10 years left before I have it paid off. Thanks and best wishes.

Hi Carlin, For the 20 acres I mentioned that increased 400%, the amount was $160 a year. This amount is minimal but what struck me was the amount of increase and basically how big Sunset Ranches tax break is. Now for 20 or 40 acres the taxes would be fine but I currently am at 1030 acres. I did find out that you can request an appeal and there are several requests you can make that will lower your tax rate. As an example, if you are a disabled Veteran, If you plan to use the land for farm or agricultural or if you have a large amount of land taxed as a single unit. But all of these must be requested and approved by Sierra Blanca board members. This is what I was told by the tax office in Sierra Blanca. Hope this helps some.
Hi Norm,

Carlin, Texas is a non-disclosure State. What this means is that they can't force you to disclose how much you paid for your land or what improvements have been made. With that said, they will send you a letter , after you have paid for a parcel(s) and ask you to volunteer how much you paid. I strongly suggest that you provide this information since it will benefit you you for taxes. If you don't answer, then they assess your land based off of current selling prices of land around you which they may artificially inflate. As for the Sunset Ranches tax rate, it was a brokered deal with Hudspeth County and Sunset Ranches as land developers. County gave Sunset Ranches a very nice tax break with no increases. Also, I was told by the County Clerk in Sierra Blanca that no permits are required to build on your land if it's 20 acres or more. She told me very bluntly that "it's your land, do want you want with it." She did say she would sell me any permits I wanted but no one would come and inspect. I'm not sure how often or if they do reassess the property but I would not let that prevent me from building were I wanted on any of my parcels especially since they , by law, can't ask or trespass. Hope this helps. I'll do my best to answer based off what I know and have been told by the County.

I just contracted 20 acres there and plan on using a composting toilet. I found an ok for it in the covenant for Sunset Ranches it stated that a "state-approved composting toilet was acceptable" however it also stated that if you planned on getting electricity that they would require a legally installed septic system first. No electricity or septic for me ! I plan on going completely off grid and hopefully will become proficient enough with the composting toilet that I can fertilize a nice little landscape there in the desert 🙂

I forgot to say that I normally over do everything so I will be adding another 50% to any calculations I come up with for my leach. Also be sure to look at how much land slope you have and in which direction. You want the septic water to disperse equal as possible over your entire leach area. So, too much slope and the septic water all ends up at the bottom of your leach area and can cause panic soil and smell. Too little slope and you now have the same issue but closer to home. The degree of slope used will also be determined by the absorption rate. The faster the absorption, the more slope you can have. I have not done all the calculation yet since I have not started my septic but I wanted to share what I have found and what I plan to use. Also, Here is a link to the soil survey of Hudspeth County. http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MANUSCRIPTS/texas/hudspethTX2013/Hudspeth%20Soil%20Survey.pdf Hope all this at least helps a little.

When me and my wife went to the Court House in Sierra Blanca to get an address for our property is when I asked about permits. The clerk told me that she would sale me all the permits I want but no one would come and inspect. "It's your property, you do what you want." She then told me and my wife how her and her husband had just finished building their house and had got no permits. Now, this was my experience and it is not meant as guidance for others. I don't want any one to have issues because of what I was told.

Wind and solar would be great options. I spent the weekend out there last year, for 4th of July, and the wind was pretty consistent.

What I ended up doing, because my first time out was on a holiday, and I would be getting there pretty late at night, I looked at the maps in my package, and found a few reference points, roads, etc, and then looked on Google Maps until I found some of the same points. From Google Maps, I found the GPS coordinates, and was able to drive right to it. Usually the maps will have a scale on them, so even if you drive 1 mile past a reference point, or what ever, you can probably figure it out. Once there, I walked around until I started finding the survey markers, so I knew for sure I was on the right parcels. Something else I did, was to walk the property, and use my camera phone to take pictures of all the survey markers. Even though I didn't have cell coverage, the phone recorded GPS positions of each picture automatically, so after, I could use Google Maps to mark where each picture was taken. Hope that makes sense?

He flat out said he could be of no help about water or utilities or anything else, he gave me the number of one of the folks that do the tours. He said he just sells the land!!! Nice to see there seems to be a lot of really nice people buying the properties.

Gary, I would be glad to. I google mapped Pecos to Sierra Blanca last night and it's about 2 hours west of me. In west Texas, that's a hop, skip and a jump !! Especially with 80 mph all the way.

Have any of you had issues with being landlocked or been foreclosed on? I've just started digging into Sunset ranches and I'm not finding a lot of good information so far!

Yes, I have visited my land. Personally, I love the area. Lots of rabbits, and other wildlife. There is a power line running through the ranch land there, I don't have power or water yet, but intend to in the futuren.....A well would have to be deep to hit water, that's the expensive part. There is the option of a water tank but you would have to transfer the water yourself, some are doing that locally. I saw where a neighbor lot has a new mobil home pulled in with a metal roof preparing to set up. There are no visible homes near my land................Lone Star Iisnvestments is not a place that "wants" foreclosure. They'd work with someone before they'd try and do that.......The particular 2 lots I've purchased (42 acres total), I was able to access in a small car with dry weather...... The first 5 miles on 1111 is asphalt, then where the pavement ends, left at the fork, (sign there for silver spur) you go another 5 miles on the gravel/dirt road to enter Silver Spur. There are cattle guards to cross, some livestock are roaming the area yet. Again, no issue with a small car at all if no rain. The right of ways are marked with street signs, and land corners are marked. There are a few back lots near the mountains where a 4x4 truck is "more suitable" for accessing. This is south of I-10 in Sierra Blanca.

I also saw a Road Runner while I was there........I first had lot 22 in unit 12, then was able to work out acquiring 18 and 19 together and trading back 22. My first lot was fine, but I'm very pleased with 18 and 19's location and much happier..... My lots are on Texas Rangers off of Roy Rogers which is off County Rd...... It will be a few years before I build in Silver Spur..... I'll visit annually or more and do a few things before then like a driveway, fencing, planning, ECT. I still have a home to complete here before I sell. El Paso is a reasonable drive to make and is my favorite US City. Yet, I don't want to live in the city.

I've been there a dozen times camping and RV-ing. I have flat land and mountain. I have some on 1111 with 3 utility poles and some on Lone Star/Roy Rogers and up into the Quitman Mts. I love it out there and the climate has been very comfortable for me March-Nov. I haven't been in the winter and don't really plan to. Last time out I saw dozens of Jack Rabbits a few cottontail rabbits, turkey, lizards and cacti in bloom. I'll go out again in November.

I'm in far West Texas; I did a lot of research online and through the courthouse there. I found that there have been THOUSANDS of foreclosures on the properties and picked back up by Sunset and then sold again. Several times. There is no water. The water if you are able to drill a well deep enough to get any is brine and not drinkable. Which most of already know about the water issues in West Texas, but this is a place where you will definitely be dependent on going and bringing water in or hopefully finding someone to bring it to you.

We have 911 #, opening to 1111, electric, we have water set up like we did where we came from except water is pumped from a 550 gal container, hauling water is not a problem for us, never drank water from our well in md.

Matt, thanks for that advice. I hadn't heard the name Waterseer but a friend has been telling about grabbing the water from thin air. I think its a great invention that can really make a difference in the desert areas.He also told me about a great place to shop online called Global Resources. they are based in China where the "Green" business is exploding with all kinds of new technology. And the prices are as expected from China.. really easy on the pocketbook. what we pay here for one solar panel could buy up to a hundred from there. So anyone out there needing solar supplies you can get their app for apple or android. and anyone looking to build a nice house on the cheap look up their prefab and modular homes they're outrageously low priced.kind of like Sunset Ranches !! See you all in January :))

My property is purchased and financed through Lone Star Investments in El Paso, Tx..... I live in NC and I've visited my Texas land. After visiting the land, I actually visited their office in El Paso, TX. They are friendly and honest. I easily traded up my 20 acres for another 40 acres I liked better. Reworking the contract was SIMPLE, they are very organized. The office is a 1 hour drive from Silver Spur Ranches where my land is. This land is way back in the middle of nowhere but beautiful, a 15 minute drive to Sierra Blanca... Roads are country dirt/gravel. I love it, lots of rabbits. I recommend you call Lone Star Investments. Ask for Mercy Denoso, she's extremely helpful. (915) 532-5263.

There is so much land in TX it's rediculous. I know there are some other real estate and finance companies selling similar properties. I can only speak for Lone Star Investments. I read good reviews on them ahead of time. There have been foreclosures, but that isn't the fault of the finance company. That's from people not making payments. I was told they often work with people long as they communicate with them should financial issues arise. In NC, such an easy quick buy I would consider a scam, things just aren't done that way here. Land sales are simply more laid back in Hudspeth County Texas. I found the people to be friendly in that area.....Good luck to you! I'm going back again in the spring.

Very happy to have found this blog. We purchased our land back in May and have been out there several times. We have recently discovered the benefits of earthships and I was wondering if anyone else had thought about building one on their property. Mike Reynolds has helped show people how sustainable housing can be built anywhere, even in the middle of the desert and I think its a wonderful concept. If anyone has similar interest in this I would enjoy to see what your thoughts are. [email protected]

The treated sewage dumping ran it's final load in 2001, it was a short lived contract and not close to my property, the FORMER dumping area from over 15 years ago is many miles away and there is no odor. The air is clean, wildlife is healthy....... There's an aquifer very deep, but it's there. A few have water delivered, that's no worse and less expensive than for people pay a municipality for services in a city, in many ways it's better..... I also did my own research and visited my sellers office in person. It isn't a scam. It's a simple owner financing contract, "not unusual" for this part of the country.

The land is great ,the people on sunset ranch are friendly and helpful with info. No smells just wildlife and cows, and yes like any other place if you don't pay your payments you have to move on. Its not for everyone, but we love it. Just don't go crazy with excitement and buy more than you can pay for. There's a company in fort stocton that will come and install pumps and casing and a man in van horn that will drill the hole, was told water is at 300-600 feet and I know it is there cause I have a pump keeping a pond full on my land. Was down there last weekend and found nothing wrong with the land, looks as a lot of people have came with plans a decided to quit but there are people living there also. The water situation is simple all anybody has to do is pay 25-30 bucks a ft install or go to town and open a account with water company and pick up water it's like 25 bucks a month for 2000 gal

Hey Slim. Glad to meet ya nieghbor. It will take 2.5 years to build our infrasctructure, which will be COMPLETELY off grid. I found this company in Colorado that sells wind/solar hybrid n less then 12,000 to purchase & install. Rio Grande said it would be 35,000-40,000 to bring electric. We said piss off to that. I know there are aquafiers due to nearby green belts, and we have a significant mountain estuary that we can collect run off for a resevoir, and of course water tanks. We are looking into purchasing a tank on wheels to help ourselves & our nieghbors n will be ranching so always willing to work out a barter 😊. For the next couple years, we'll be coming every few months as Scotty is working, but we'll start laying down the foundation so we're off n running when ready. We're in town now n leaving Friday am.

It's funny you say that because I bought 20 acres off FM 111 about five miles out from Sierra Blanca and they've been great people don't make their payments yeah the land usually gets tooken I'm starting to build out there I'm getting a septic put in and some other things on my property the average will that I've been quoted has been anywhere from 13000 to 30000 so I'm trying to find somebody local that can do it if they can't well then I'll have to pay it that's just the way it is but all that value goes right back on your property so if you were to resell it you could always get your money back it's not a lose situation good luck to everybody there's lots of people out of El Paso and there's one person out of Van Horn that will draw your wells I'm not really sure who they are but they do do it and that's about the going rate the wells are anywhere from 50 feet 250 ft it just depends on where you're at if you have any questions you can call me 530 251-3788

Tim, if a man named Jack Whittington contacts you he is a scammer. Beware.

Jack Whittington is a FAKE. This man is using the name of a person from Odessa who is now deceased. The real Jack Whittington was a well driller, the one who is now using his name and scamming people is not. We are finding out more information about and we will have his real name soon.

I was considering buying some land near Seirra Blanca until I heard about the largest sludge dumping site in US at the former MHR. Is anyone concerned about the effects this will have on the quality of the water and our health?

I want to thank Carlin Comm for his amazing effort to help me find my property. Apparently it needs a Jeep or a off road motor cycle to get there and and take pictures and do a youtube video of the place. Hopefully I can find some adventurous young guy to make a mission out of it. But it seems a motorcycle might be the best way.

In process of purchasing 640.2 acres near Sunset Ranches. Anyone here (beyond scam artist Jack Whittington; see above) figure out the best way to drill for water. I am building a world-class retreat on the property and also the largest standing Cross of Christ in the world, free for all to come and pray near. I can be reached at TexasOGM @ gmail.

Hello. I am 1500 short of purchasing the land I desire in Sierra Blanca. I am a ten year military (aviation) veteran and have just completed my BSME. I have faith that I could be of assistance in finding a solution to the water issue. I have advanced studies in fluid dynamics and energy management. I look forward to learning to use those skills in order to appreciate something that will belong to my family. I am excited to have the opportunity in realizing a solution for a real world problem!

You can buy land much cheaper than sunset ranches sells it for. Look at it first, look at government aquaffer maps to see if there's water and how deep. The one well I know of near me is 1,000 feet deep, cost $65,000 dollars 15 years ago and pumps 1 gallon per minute.

Thinking hard about getting some land there north of Sierra Blanca. What I see is way off the beaten path so an address would be hard put to get I'm sure. Dmv will not accept a po box. Water could be an issue. I love the idea of being able to build as I please but being unable to get a Texas drivers license squashes that fast. Thinking hard and wanting to do it.

Hello all, my fiance and I are looking at buying at least 20 acres outside of Sierra Blanca. We are currently in the PNW and looking for a quieter place to homestead full time and raise our family. I see very inspiring YouTube posts of people across many states homesteading on very little including growing fruit farms in Arizona climate! Curious how everyone is doing and of anyone is out there full time at the moment and if the water situation has changed - I'd love to sell my extended family on coming out with us. It's a little hard to navigate recent posts on this site but I am glad to have found you all and look forward to hearing from anyone - God bless, Lia
