NA US 90 HWY Van Horn, TX 79855

CHANCE TO OWN YOUR OWN WEST TEXAS GHOST TOWN! As mentioned in TEXAS MONTHLY, Lobo finally got a post office in 1907, and for decades in the mid-twentieth century it was a hub for the region's thriving cotton farming community, though Lobo's population never surpassed one hundred. In the 1980s the aquifer was just about pumped dry, and by 1991 Lobo was a ghost town. It spent the next decade completely empty, its remaining structures—a gas station, a motel, the grocery store, and a few abandoned houses—withering away under the harsh West Texas winds, until a handful of artists from Frankfurt, Germany, decided to buy it and make it their own. You have a chance to continue what they have done with this West Texas Ghost Town and make it your own. Ten acres in the shadow of the Van Horn mountain region, this rustic spot is filled with character. The photos of the area do not do it justice. This place is not for everyone, for sure. But campfire under the stars, isolation but still within 20 minute highway drive to a grocery store, gas stations and a McDonald's, this place has the feel of being away from it all, but it not that far from city on I-10. Come see the place for yourself Memorial Day weekend (May 25-29th 2023), and come meet the locals! Highest and best offers due by June 24, 2023 (we have had a lot of inquiries), and it would be helpful to have a letter from the potential buyer about future use, as that is important to the sellers. See the Texas Monthly article to see what they are looking for in a buyer. All offers emailed to the listing agent, please.
