510 Stunning Acres on the Edge of Big BendFor Sale: 510 Acres Priced At $1,000,000 (USD)
Marfa County, Presidio, Texas, United States

Situated near the Texas Border beyond Presidio, sits an adobe compound on 510 stunning desert acres: Casa Piedra. This ranch is in the virtual center of a high plain, contained by the mighty rim of the Big Bend Mountains. Bordering Big Bend State Park, it has sweeping views of the Chihuahuan Desert and of the Big Bend mountain range. At night, the pulsating lights of the city of Ojinaga on the Mexican border add a lively sight line to the property. The rare beauty of the land includes a diverse range of cacti, rolling tumbleweeds, and mesquite shrubs, which can blossom into a splendid display of vibrant colors and textures with just a little rain. The land is partially fenced and has a wet weather creek. This is the place to get away from it all! Under the Texas sky, the great outdoors is yours. Soak up the stillness of the desert wilderness and kick back and relax, or head out for some hunting.
The exterior design of the central home is simple and discreet. It is exquisitely sited to favor the most dramatic views. Constructed of adobe, its physical properties possess high insulation value with time-lag convection of heat and cold. Proportions created by the height of the walls below the roofs play an important role not only esthetically but in providing shade where and when needed. An outdoor walled courtyard and loggia provide roofless rooms to enhance thermal comfort and enjoyment throughout the year. The interior walls are covered with a plaster of earth and water. The color is soothing and glows in certain light. Doors are windows are metal framed and weather the desert climate well. The compound incorporates off-the-grid sources of energy, using solar collection and windmills.
Bordering Big Bend State Park, ecologically sustainable, this is an opportunity to own a piece of land of exceptional beauty and possibility.
