In the far northeast Panhandle, Lipscomb County is anchored by Lipscomb (the seat) and Booker, its largest town. Established in 1876, it has always been ranching and farming country. Today, it remains extremely rural, with agriculture dominating. Housing stock is sparse, including modest frame houses, brick ranchers, and farmhouses. The nearest larger city is Amarillo, about 120 miles southwest. Prices are low: most homes run $90,000–$150,000, while farmland averages $1,500–$3,000 per acre. Buyers are typically farmers, ranchers, or hunters.
