Pretty much , the hunting is restricted to the most resourceful , Mule deer ( archery) , quail and Javelina , you will cover alot of ground to take some quail , but nothing tastier over an open fire at sunset than some Javelina and quail when you do not remember your last meal, no season on the pigs and quail season is open four months, pretty much everything else is restricted to naught. You could starve and dehydrate out in that country in a hurry if you followed the law , and did not have a smoke house , beans , water, ( lots ) and a few good bird dogs and a hunter who does not miss , even when your toungue is swollen from no water
Ha...I'll pass. Not to mention it's pretty close to the border...probably get drone bombed during the night .

I would not worry about that , too many protected animals, probably drone protected
Possibly..or it could be one big drone test site. I doubt too much trouble with banditos because you can see tomorrow from today.
This area would be better..it has water. http://www.landsoftexas.com/texas/land-for-sale/16890-acres-in-Brewster-County-Texas/id/1092530

The Ancients there , maybe 900 AD , were growing food, but it got more water then ....
In modern times ( up to ,maybe 1880), only the Mescalero Apache lived there....

I dunno this , but the places listed could be the 200 ton a day , ten year NY sewage dump sites
Or a nuclear waste dump site
Well that is the gubmints fault for trying to kill the ones they found in the craphole West Texas desert, they can have Sante Fe for all I care, it will go belly up soon financially anyway , lol
I am pretty sure it is clean of that, none of my quail , doves or pigs had three eyes or glowed in the dark .

They do pretty well with Ruidoso and Taos...at least in years when they get plenty of snow but I guess they've probably been victims of the economy too.

couple of other good posts:
I do not know how many people out there are still interested in land but I do want to warn you that buying land that was obtained through a tax sale can be iffy. If the person who purchased the land certificate didn't do all the lien reviews and leg work you could end up with a piece of property that has a prior lien and you will lose that land, no reimbursement for what you paid either unless you want to pay the lien holders.
As to land, i am also looking for land. I have found the following:
$2750 cash price for 1.16 (approximate, can't remember) of undeveloped land in Arizona in Apache County. The owner said also can take $500 or 10% maybe 20% down and finance for different interests rates depending on how long you want to finance. Will go 84 months so the land will cost you about $3750 total when paid off. There are several of these parcels listed on Craigslist. I would be very careful when dealing with the different lands listed.
It is off grid living, meaning no water, you haul it in, electric several miles away, etc. You would be living on a piece of land with nothing but Juniper trees. The lots look very nice and say the elevation is around 6000 feet so it is not overbearing hot in summer. Some land shows snow on the ground.
Problem I am having, no one will answer my questions when I email them. I am asking what the water level is and is well drilling permited, average depth of well, how far and how much per foot for electric. Is zoning for mobile home and is it restricted to only double wide or ????
If you get any response to this, let me know. I worry very much about using Craigslist. One land owner there wants you to send him a downpayment, he will send you a contract and then when you pay off you will get the Deed. Not in my world, I get the deed and the owner that finances puts a lien on the property for the amount he financed. These are just some of the things I question.
I hope to drive up to the area. I have contacted the Apache Assessors office for onwner information and they have not responded. That's government for you but I will be trying to contact them again.
If you find anything, let me know. I cannot pay more that $1000 an acre and only need an acre and will live in a camper until I get what I need to set up the property for living in the 21st century.....
Good luck, and get in touch with any ideas you have.
Call the electric company. They will have a line for new construction. You ask them how much it costs to bring a line in. But sit down and hold onto your hat before you ask. My last quote was $30,000 to bring the power half a mile. That's makes a generator look pretty good.
Call local well drillers or the local water master. They will know how deep the local wells are and if you can even get a permit to drill a well.
In some areas you can not drill a well, and in other areas you can only have a well for household use, no irrigation. Every drop of water everywhere in the USA belongs to someone. You can't just take it.
The county planning and development will tell you what can be built, what the regs are for mobile homes (check age restrictions, if you plan to buy a used one)
I've never had a county assessor's office be anything but polite and give me owner's information when I called them. Did you phone? If you are going out there, you can walk into the office. Yes, definitely verify ownership and insist that the sale goes through escrow and you definitely want to buy title insurance, even on a cheap purchase.
HUD lists their own foreclosures on their website and there are some good bargains there.
I think I've got address for a couple of sites where you can see foreclosures listed for free. I would NOT pay for that information.
If you know what county, foreclosures will be listed at the county offices, because they require legal paperwork to be filed.
Also, most banks will have a list of their own foreclosures on the web. Search by each bank individually.
Counties will give you a listing of their tax sale properties. Be aware that in most states, you are buying a tax certificate and not the land. You will have to wait out the redemption period and then foreclose. The property might come with unpaid liens. Don't buy at tax sales without learning every single detail of how it works. Do not assume you know what you are doing because of what you've heard about it.
For foreclosures, you can try this website. If they just hint around at the property and don't give the listing or the bank, simply check with the county, or with a local real estate agent that handles foreclosures. All foreclosures are sold through agents. There is no reason to pay for information.
For the sales on the courthouse steps, sometimes you can buy, but often the bank buys back and then lists the property with an agent. Don't buy on the courthouse steps unless you've done a title search beforehand.

Realtor.com will give you a listing of most properties for sale in an area.
RealtyTimes will give you some names of local agents plus a market report on local sales conditions.
If you are looking for cheap, tillable land, I suggest the Texas Panhandle. We live "in town" in a community just under 1,000 pop, and our home (purchased through tax bid for $370) appraises at $8600...for a 2 (LARGE!) bedroom home with 300 sq. foot basement...total living area of about 1500 square feet. The total lot size is about 1/4 acre.
Most land needs to be purchased in larger acreages, but land in the small towns or on the outskirts of these towns goes for a pittance. And the area where I live is about an hour from Amarillo, so employment options are relatively strong, as unemployment in the area is roughly 5%.
My main point is to research the land before you buy it, who is selling it, and what is there reputation. Are there any minerals, where and how much water is available, and HOW is it available.
Is there any electrical available, are there any cell towers in the area, and how far away are they. How about emergency services, etc.
Last but not least, make sure there are no incumberences, no levy's, and that your contract is ron clad, down to the letter
[Out of the box thinking...]
Been lurking on this big giant thread a little bit. Friicking INFORMATIONAL OVERLOAD! LOL! Yah But Im in the same boat. Good Stuff... Trying to find an area in Illinois that has no population around it for 5 square miles. Not necessarilly buy all that acreage, jsut have a central plot enveloped in all that abject desolation. Well any ideas how to do this for $5000-$15000? Any Tips on...Shawnee National Forrest, or Rent Vacant FarmStead, or Governmetal permits passes, or Leasing Privately owned hunting property, or Renting Cabin plot retreat, or PiggyBacking on someone elses prop, or just out right buying or renting of OFF GRID property? This Is going to be used for a GREEN BIOsphere of sorts.
