North of Lubbock: Idalou and Abernathy
North and northeast of the city, the land opens into classic South Plains farm country, with small-town school districts and an easy drive into Lubbock for work.
Reid Farms near Idalou
Reid Farms sits about 10 minutes north of Idalou and about 20 minutes from Lubbock, on Nazareth St (E CR 5300), a county-maintained road. The tracts are in Lubbock County and Idalou ISD, and the deed is recorded with the Lubbock County Clerk. Most tracts are 10 acres, with two 14-acre tracts and one 76-acre tract for buyers who want more room.
One detail to know: on Tracts #1 through #8, the deed restrictions don't allow mobile homes, but manufactured homes are allowed. If you're planning a home on wheels, ask us which tracts fit your plan before you pick one.
Natalia Plains near Idalou
Natalia Plains is our newer Idalou property, about 7 minutes northwest of Idalou on E CR 6000, a county-maintained road. It's also in Idalou ISD and Lubbock County. Tracts come in 10, 14 and 19 acres, so it's a good fit if you want a little extra space between you and the neighbors.
Abernathy
Our Abernathy tracts are about 15 minutes north of Lubbock, with access from E CR 5000, in Abernathy ISD. There are only a few tracts left here, mostly 10 acres plus a 13-acre tract. A handful of Abernathy tracts (#8, #10, #12 and #23) already have a water well installed, which can save you a step when you're ready to build. Ask us about those when you call.
East of Lubbock: Roosevelt ISD
Lubbock 11 Acres
Just east of the city, our Lubbock 11 Acres property offers 11.2-acre tracts about 15 minutes from Lubbock in Roosevelt ISD, a district many local families ask for by name. Access is from CR 3700 (paved) and CR 3760 (dirt). The listing calls these tracts mobile-home friendly, there's no HOA, and power is available on all lots through South Plains Electric Cooperative. Most of this property is already spoken for, so if Roosevelt ISD is high on your list, call soon.
West: Levelland and Hockley County
Hockley Farms near Levelland
Hockley Farms is about 8 to 10 minutes from downtown Levelland and about 30 minutes to Lubbock, on paved E Ellis St, a county-maintained road. The tracts are in Hockley County and Levelland ISD, and power is available on all lots through Lamb County Electric Cooperative.
Hockley Farms has the widest range of sizes in this guide: 2.5-acre tracts for buyers who want a small country lot, 10-acre tracts, and a 31-acre tract. It's also the most affordable way into land near Lubbock right now, starting from $29,900. Deed restrictions are short: no commercial shooting ranges (personal shooting is allowed) and no junk or dump yards.
Picking a spot near Lubbock? Ask these first
- Which school district is this exact tract in?
- Is the road paved or dirt, and who maintains it?
- Does the tract need a well, or does it already have one?
- Which electric co-op serves it?
- What do the deed restrictions say about my home type?
South: New Home and Brownfield
South and southwest of Lubbock, the towns get smaller and the drive gets a little longer, but you get quiet county roads and a lot of land for the money.
Yolanda Farms near New Home
Yolanda Farms is about 10 minutes from New Home and about 30 minutes to Lubbock, on Co Rd 13, a county-maintained road. The tracts are in Lynn County and New Home ISD, and power is available on all lots through Lyntegar Electric Cooperative. Most tracts are 10 acres, plus one 39-acre tract. Tracts #5 and #8 already have a water well, which is rare on raw land around here.
Theresa Farms near Brownfield
Theresa Farms sits about 5 minutes east of Brownfield and about 40 minutes to Lubbock, right on paved US-380. The tracts are in Terry County and Brownfield ISD, and the deed is recorded with the Terry County Clerk. You'll find 10-acre tracts plus a 57-acre tract that the listing says we're willing to split in half. If you work in Brownfield or want a quieter town with Lubbock still within reach, it's worth a look.
What to know before you buy land near Lubbock
Every tract is different, but the same handful of questions come up for most buyers around Lubbock. Here's what to ask before you choose.
Water wells
Most of our tracts near Lubbock are "well required," which means there's no city water line and you'll drill a private water well. Local well numbers vary by property, and we only share what each tract page lists. For example, the Abernathy page notes local reports of wells around 250 to 300 feet deep producing 10 to 15 gallons per minute, and the Lubbock 11 page notes local wells around 200 feet deep producing about 15 gallons per minute.
Groundwater on the South Plains is managed by local groundwater conservation districts. Across much of the Lubbock area, that's the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District (hpwd.org), which handles well registration and spacing rules in the counties it covers. Before you drill, confirm which district covers your county and talk to a licensed driller who works in that area. If you'd rather skip the drilling step, ask about the tracts that already have a well at Yolanda Farms and Abernathy.
Septic
Rural tracts don't have a sewer line, so you'll need a septic system, which Texas calls an on-site sewage facility (OSSF). Texas septic rules are set by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and the county (or another local authorized agent) issues the permit. You need that permit before a system goes in, and a site evaluation tells you what kind of system your soil needs. Our post on well and septic on raw land walks through the process.
Power
Power is available on all lots at every property in this guide. Around Lubbock, rural power usually comes from an electric cooperative. Our listings name South Plains Electric Cooperative (Lubbock 11 Acres), Lamb County Electric Cooperative (Hockley Farms) and Lyntegar Electric Cooperative (Yolanda Farms). "Available" means service is nearby, not that a meter is already set, so call the co-op with your tract location and ask what they need to hook you up.
Deed restrictions
Most rural land outside city limits around Lubbock isn't zoned the way a city lot is, so the deed restrictions are what decide what you can do. Ours are short. On the properties in this guide, the deed restrictions include no commercial shooting ranges (personal shooting is allowed on most) and no junk or dump yards, and there's no HOA. The one bigger exception is Reid Farms Tracts #1 through #8, where manufactured homes are allowed but mobile homes are not. Always ask for the full restrictions for your exact tract. Our guides to unrestricted vs restricted land and putting a mobile home on land in Texas explain what to look for.
Property taxes
Property taxes are set by the appraisal district in the county where the land sits, so a tract near Levelland is appraised by the Hockley County Appraisal District, while a tract near Idalou is appraised by the Lubbock Central Appraisal District. Lynn and Terry counties have their own appraisal districts too. If you plan to raise livestock or farm the land, read our guide to the ag exemption on 10 acres in Texas before you apply for anything, and once you build and live on the land, ask your appraisal district about the homestead exemption.

Buying land near Lubbock with owner financing
You can pay cash for any of these tracts, but many of our buyers use owner financing, where Victory Land Sales acts as the lender instead of a bank. Approval is simple: we check credit and verify income, and there's no minimum credit score.
Here's how ownership works. You get a deed at closing, and it's recorded with the county clerk where the land sits, so the land is in your name right away. Victory holds a lien on the land until it's paid off, much like a bank would on a home loan. Our in-house team handles the closing, and we provide a survey of the tract free of charge. Each tract page lists its own pricing, and we're happy to walk through the details for any tract by phone.
To see the whole process from first call to closing, read how owner financing works on land in Texas or visit our owner financing process page. If you're still comparing options, our first-time buyer's guide to buying land in Texas covers each step.
How to choose the right area
- If schools come first, start with the district: Idalou, Abernathy, Roosevelt, Levelland, New Home or Brownfield ISD.
- If the commute comes first, look north and east. Abernathy, Natalia Plains and Lubbock 11 Acres are among the closest to town.
- If you want the most land for the money, look south and west at Hockley Farms, Theresa Farms and Yolanda Farms.
- If you want to skip drilling a well, ask about the tracts at Yolanda Farms and Abernathy that already have one.
- If you're placing a mobile home, check the deed restrictions first, especially at Reid Farms.
The best way to decide is to drive out and stand on the land. Our local team works out of 4301 N FM 2528 in Lubbock, and we're glad to meet you at a tract and show you around.
