This West Texas ghost town is on sale for $100K, but there's a catch

Lobo is a tiny windswept ghost town in West Texas, some 60 miles northwest of art mecca Marfa.

According to a report by our media partners at The Dallas Morning News, little remains of the abandoned desert city: an old grocery store, a vacant motel and a boarded-up gas station. The town is now in the market for a new owner, drawing attention in Texas and beyond.

Alexander Bardorff, one of the owners, said a friend spotted a “town for sale” sign while driving past Lobo in the late 1990s. Lobo became a place for the group to “get away from the busy city life and relax in the country,” he said.

But the German owners have a particular vision for the new owner.

“We are not just trying to make a profit,” Bardorff told Texas Monthly. “We would like to find a group of people that want to do something interesting out there. Not necessarily what we did, but some idea.”
