Property Description
West Texas is worth the drive because you can finally escape the hustle and bustle of the masses and stretch your eyes over some incredible landscape! To the north and east, you can see the Black Mountains and even get a glimpse of the Guadalupe Mountains in the distance, bringing a romantic feel to the desert landscape. The area was once home to the Apache Indians, and it feels like nothing much has changed since they roamed the land. The ranch is rolling to semi-mountainous with several draws running generally to the north and east. The ranch is watered by one water well and six earth stock tanks. Hunting on the ranch, while challenging, will surely be just as rewarding with whitetail, mule deer, antelope, blue quail, and perhaps an Aoudad or Elk. Location: Apache Ridge Ranch is approximately 25 miles north of Sierra Blanca in the east-central part of Hudspeth County at the end of a private easement. Acreage: The ranch consists of 5,645± acres. All in native pasture. Topography: The topography on Apache Ridge Ranch is rolling to semi-mountainous with approximately 250 feet of elevation change. There are several draws and canyons traversing the property from the southwest to the northeast creating verdant green oasis-like bottoms where the grasses, forbs and other flora species flourish. Most of these draws have at least one earth tank and seem to be heavily traveled by wildlife. Rainfall/Elevation: According to the Texas Almanac Online, Hudspeth County receives approximately 10 inches of rainfall per year. Cover: Far West Texas is tough, and the plant species that inhabit the area are even tougher! Cover on this ranch is a mix of creosote bush, Mesquite and several types of lower browse plants including Elbow bush and Vine Ephedra (Mormon's Tea). Also, there is just about any type of cactus you can imagine creating a very diverse habitat with an incredible amount of rugged beauty. Fences: The fences on this ranch are old, but in very good condition. They are 5 strand barbed wire on cedar posts. Additionally, there is a set of wooden pens on the south end of the ranch which are also in good working condition. Utilities: There are currently no utilities connected to the ranch, but co-op electricity is available 1 mile south of the ranch on Frederick Road Water: The ranch is watered by 1 water well which is approximately 900 feet deep. The well is pumped with generators and then piped to several watering stations through the center portion of the ranch. Additionally, there are 6 earth tanks on the property. The tanks all appear to be recently cleaned out and in good condition. All but 1 were holding water at the time the photos were taken. July 2024. Hunting: This area of Texas is known to have very diverse hunting including both whitetail and mule deer, Audad, antelope and occasionally an elk or two. Blue quail are also abundant in the area. The current seller has not hunted the ranch, so bring your hunting equipment and enjoy! Price: The property is priced at $1,975,750.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
