We worked with Emily to assist us with a sale of some of our mineral interests. Not only was she professional and courteous, but we were paid well above any previous offer and ahead of the expected time frame. What more could you ask for? A well deserved five star rating!

Lea County, New Mexico – 480 Net Mineral Acres 

This offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire a large, unleased mineral position in Lea County, New Mexico, one of the most active oil and gas regions in the Permian Basin. The ownership totals 480 net mineral acres with a 1.0 net decimal interest, providing significant scale and leasing leverage in a highly competitive county.

The acreage was last leased in 2016 at $250 per net mineral acre and an 18.75% royalty, and it is currently open and unleased, giving the buyer full control to negotiate new lease terms in today’s market. We believe the seller owns 480 NMA, with 320 NMA in Section 17 and 160 NMA in Section 20. With continued operator activity across Lea County and sustained interest in undeveloped mineral positions, this tract offers strong upside tied to future leasing and development.

Large, contiguous unleased mineral packages of this size are increasingly difficult to assemble. This listing provides immediate optionality: hold for appreciation, lease into active development, or package for future resale. For investors seeking scale, flexibility, and exposure to one of the most proven basins in the region, this is a compelling acquisition opportunity.

For this listing, we are requiring the following:

    1. Special Warranty Deed
    2. 30 Day Close
    3. Any adjustment to the purchase price greater than 10% must be mutually agreeable. 
    4. Our closing process included in the PSA, which is:   At closing, buyer will provide the mineral deed.  The seller will execute the mineral deed and return it to Texas Royalty Brokers.  Texas Royalty Brokers will provide buyer with a scanned copy of the deed, and buyer will then wire funds to seller and Texas Royalty Brokers respectively.  Once funds are confirmed, Texas Royalty Brokers will overnight the deed to the Buyer.   
    5. Buyer must close within 14 days or sign our qualified buyer agreement.
