Cheap Land In Texas – Build Your Dream Ranch with Power, Paved Access, and No Restrictions
The indelible spirit of the visionary, frontier-tough, and independent rancher is embedded in the soil of properties like these. With access to power in the area, a paved highway, and no restrictions to hold you back, you have all the tools to carve out whatever life you choose. This piece of land reaffirms the meaning behind the “Land of the Free”!
PROPERTY: This 7 acre square-shaped piece offers 491 feet on paved School House Rd outside Gordon, Texas. Run some animals, grow a little food — don’t confine yourself to any preconceived notions about what this land can do for you, because there are NO RESTRICTIONS! It lies just about 15 minutes from the small triplet towns of Strawn, Mingus, and Gordon, 20 minutes from “The Great Lake of Texas,” and 80 minutes (inside the Goldilocks Zone — not to close, not too far away) from the massive Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. There are no structures on site, so you can build your micro-ranch exactly how you always dreamt it.
CHEAPEST MICRO-RANCH PROPERTY IN PALO PINTO COUNTY (5-10 ACRES)!
You’re in luck if you love small towns (and who doesn’t?) because you’ll find three of them lying just about 5 minutes apart from each other along the Hwy 108/193 east-west corridor, and about 15 minutes due south of this property. Strawn . . . Mingus . . . Gordon . . . take your pick! Strawn offers a typical small-town mix of goods and services, like a Post Office, market, a few restaurants, and a Dollar General. You’ll find similar options in Mingus and Gordon. Hunters flock from hundreds of miles around to visit the Greystone Castle Sporting Club in Mingus, a 5-star rated and 6,000 acre hunting ranch and resort offering some of the best trophy hunting and fishing in the United States.
Nestled in the foothills of the Palo Pinto Mountains is the beautiful Possum Kingdom Lake (aka “The Great Lake of Texas”), which is only a 20 minute drive north from here. This Texas gem nestled in rolling hills, boasts more than 18,000 acres of clear water and magnificent cliffs. One of the state’s best kept secrets hosts several first-class restaurants, resorts, marinas and some of the finest golf courses in Texas. Cycling and hiking opportunities also abound.
The Palo Pinto Mountains State Park is the newest state park in Texas and located just a half hour to the southwest. One of the great features of the park is Palo Pinto Creek, which runs along the northern edge of the park, and while it can be a raging torrent at times, it is a very scenic creek, with some good pools along it, good for swimming or fishing. Tucker Lake is the centerpiece, a 90-acre blue expanse that serves as the water supply for the park’s gateway city of Strawn.
Palo Pinto Creek Reservoir is a 2400-acre, 50-foot deep lake about a half hour away to the southeast and it provides solid fishing opportunities, featuring largemouth bass, catfish, and crappie.
The famous art culture of west Texas is clearly evident in the city of Breckenridge, which is only a half hour away to the west and it’s also where you’ll find the nearest Walmart and other big box stores. Breckenridge is known as the Mural Capital of Texas and is home to the Breckenridge Fine Arts Center. Hubbard Creek Lake is a huge natural attraction and probably the best fishing lake in this area. When the reservoir is full, it is known for excellent white crappie and white bass. It’s also a popular choice for largemouth bass anglers, especially tournament anglers. Catfishing is often underrated: the lake supports good populations of catfish, especially blue catfish.
As you can tell, this property is closely surrounded by beautiful parks, lakes, and game in each direction, making this a perfect homesite for any west Texas sports and outdoorsman.

Please call/text us to let us know you’re heading out, so we can ensure we have our phone on us in case you need help or have any questions. We’d appreciate a couple hours notice if possible. In case you lose cell phone service, it may be helpful to print off as many helpful documents as you can before you head out there.

WALKING THE PROPERTY LINES w/YOUR PHONE: We highly recommend a FREE app called BaseMap, which uses your phone’s GPS system to show you property boundary lines, and allow you to walk them in real-time. You can follow THIS LINK to see the center of the lot on BaseMap (you’ll need to have the app to open the link). Make sure to save it as an Offline Map (by hitting the big green ‘+’ button on the map, then hit ‘Go Offline’) before you head out so that you can use the app even if you lose cell service. This is by far the best method to follow the boundary lines of the property. This is a very important tool to learn BEFORE you head out there. Please call us if you have any questions about it.

FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.
OWNER FINANCING: We do not offer owner-financing but you could get a loan through a bank or another lender and we’d be happy to coordinate with them.
After opening this map, you may see even more information about the area by clicking on Map Legend, then MapRight Layers.
WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why our properties are priced below market value, and the answer is really simple: we choose to sell to you at wholesale prices. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and discounted rates, and we strongly believe in passing this discount on to our buyers.
DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, build-ability, and approved/allowable use-age for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
