10 Acres of Scotts Crossing, Texas Land for Sale Near Van Horn for $4,000

If you are looking for inexpensive acreage in far West Texas, this listing is the kind that deserves both attention and careful verification: low entry cost, remote-land practicalities, and several county-record questions to resolve before closing.
LC25870 is a 10-acre vacant land parcel in Scotts Crossing near Van Horn, Texas 79855. The supplied listing shows parcel number 105657, a $4,000 cash price, warranty deed, dirt road access, and estimated taxes of about $75 per year.
The key caveat is records alignment: the property data lists Culberson County, while the legal description references Hudspeth County. Utilities are also not confirmed, so any residential, recreational, camping, or improvement plan should start with county, title, access, and utility verification.
Property snapshot for LC25870
The listing presents this as a low-cost 10-acre vacant land tract near Van Horn. The facts below are the starting point for evaluating it, not a substitute for county records, title work, or a site visit.
Use this LandCentury reference when discussing the listing with the seller or support team.
This is the key identifier to use when checking appraisal, tax, GIS, and title records.
The acreage gives room for recreational use or future planning, subject to access, restrictions, utilities, and permits.
The low entry price is a major part of the appeal, but comparison should include access, utilities, taxes, and county-record clarity.
The listing identifies a warranty deed, but buyers should still review title, ownership history, and any exceptions before closing.
The property is positioned in the Van Horn area of far West Texas, with county details needing verification.
These labels do not prove buildability. Confirm county rules, permits, septic, water, and access before assuming residential use.
The utility note should be treated as unresolved, and the tax estimate should be checked against current county records.
Area setting near Van Horn and far West Texas
The listing places the parcel in the Scotts Crossing area near Van Horn, a practical reference point for services in this part of far West Texas. That is general location context; it does not confirm drive time, road quality, utility availability, or buildability for the parcel itself.
The supplied coordinates are 30.869950, -104.971550. They are useful for mapping, flood screening, and access review, but buyers should verify the exact boundaries through county records, a survey, or title materials before relying on them for any legal or development purpose.
Transportation context also matters. TxDOT’s El Paso District covers both Culberson and Hudspeth counties, but TxDOT state-road jurisdiction is different from county or private dirt-road maintenance. Because the listing states dirt road access, road status and maintenance responsibility should be verified locally.
Potential uses and buyer fit
This property is best approached as low-cost rural acreage first, not as a ready-to-build homesite. The 10-acre size and recreational label may appeal to buyers who want a simple landholding in far West Texas, but every intended use depends on county rules, legal access, water, septic, power, terrain, and restrictions.
The listing categories include recreational/hunting and residential buildable land, but no official buildability confirmation is supplied. If your plan involves a residence, cabin, manufactured home, RV setup, campsite, fencing, road work, or utilities, verify feasibility before closing.
- Recreational land ownership for buyers who want rural acreage and are comfortable with due diligence before using it
- A hunting-oriented or outdoor-use holding, only after confirming legal access, rules, safety, boundaries, and any local restrictions
- A long-term land hold with low listed carrying costs, subject to verifying current taxes and any assessments
- A possible future residential or off-grid site only if county permitting, septic, water, power, access, and restrictions all check out
- A cash-buyer opportunity for someone prioritizing low purchase price over immediate infrastructure
Due diligence checklist before buying
For remote Texas land, the purchase price is only one part of the decision. The most important work is confirming that the legal record, access, taxes, restrictions, and physical conditions match your intended use.
Resolve the county and parcel identity
Use parcel number 105657 and the full legal description to determine whether the controlling records are in Culberson County, Hudspeth County, or another record set. The listing county and legal description do not match, so this should be verified before any deposit or closing decision.
Match the deed, title, and legal description
The listing states warranty deed. Still, order or review title work, ownership history, deed exceptions, easements, liens, and restrictions so you know exactly what is being conveyed.
Verify road access and maintenance
The listing says dirt road access. Confirm whether the road is public, private, or easement-based; whether it is passable year-round; and who is responsible for maintenance, gates, emergency access, and service-truck access.
Confirm zoning, permits, and allowed uses
The supplied zoning field says recreational, while the listing also appears in a residential buildable category. Ask the appropriate county office what uses are allowed, what permits are required, and whether RVs, manufactured homes, camping, cabins, or residences are restricted.
Check water, septic, and power feasibility
Utilities are not confirmed in the listing. Verify electric service, water options, well feasibility, hauled water rules, septic or OSSF requirements, soil suitability, and connection costs before assuming the parcel can support any improvement.
Verify taxes and assessments
The listing estimates taxes at about $75 per year. Confirm the current tax bill, tax jurisdiction, exemptions, delinquency status, and any special assessments tied to the correct parcel.
Review flood, drainage, and terrain conditions
Use the exact coordinates for flood screening and inspect the property or obtain local knowledge about drainage, washes, low-water crossings, and dirt-road performance after storms.
Because the legal description references Hudspeth County, the Hudspeth Appraisal District public information resource is a strong starting point for parcel, tax, and public-record verification. If county research points to Culberson County, buyers should also contact the appropriate Culberson County offices before closing.
Financing notes for this cash-priced parcel
The supplied data lists a $4,000 cash price and does not provide owner-finance pricing or owner-finance terms. The property is also not marked as an auction.
For a low-priced rural land purchase, buyers should still budget beyond the purchase price. Title work, recording, taxes, a survey, access verification, travel, site inspection, and any future utility or improvement costs can matter as much as the headline price.
- Is the $4,000 price still current and what closing costs apply?
- Are any deposits, processing fees, or document fees required?
- Will the seller provide title documentation and a clear path to deed transfer?
- If you need payment terms, are you comparing this against other owner-finance land listings rather than assuming terms are available here?
How to compare this 10-acre West Texas listing
At $4,000 for 10 acres, the pricing is simple to understand, but the best comparison is not price alone. Compare this parcel against other Texas land by confirmed access, county-record clarity, utility feasibility, restrictions, terrain, taxes, and closing process.
The most important comparison point is risk. A parcel with unresolved county information, unspecified utilities, and dirt road access can still be a good fit for the right buyer, but only if those open questions line up with your intended use and budget.
Questions buyers may ask about this property and area
Bottom line for this 10-acre Scotts Crossing-area parcel
The appeal of LC25870 is straightforward: 10 acres near Van Horn, a $4,000 cash price, a parcel number, a warranty deed listed, and low estimated annual taxes. For a buyer seeking inexpensive rural Texas land, those facts make it worth a closer look.
The open questions are just as important. The county inconsistency, unspecified utilities, dirt road access, and unconfirmed buildability mean this should be evaluated with a practical due-diligence mindset rather than bought on acreage and price alone.
If the records line up and the access, utility, and use questions work for your plans, this could fit a cash buyer looking for simple rural acreage in far West Texas. If your plan depends on immediate residential use, utilities, or frequent access, verify every assumption before moving forward.
