If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own slice of wide open Texas with room for horses, stargazing, and off-grid living, this property offers just that—and more. Nestled near Terlingua Ranch, this charming one-bedroom, one-bath home rests on a fully fenced oasis complete with three horse paddocks, a horse barn, and a separate tack room and storage, each is 8x15 inside the barn. Whether you're an equestrian enthusiast or just like the idea of waving to your chickens every morning, you’re covered with a well-constructed chicken coop, 12x20 and garden setup under the covered porch area.

The main living space spans 640 square feet, but thanks to a 12x20 covered deck, there’s plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors without roasting under the sun. The space offers a living area, small office space, dining, kitchen with pantry, full bathroom, and bedroom. This isn't just a home—it’s a lifestyle. With solar power powered by two brand-new lithium batteries and multiple water catchment systems that all have filters, and guest quarters which are equipped for sustainable, off-grid comfort. A 10x16 cabin is currently used as a workshop. A 10x12 cabin houses the laundry, solar equipment and extra storage space. Owner is eligible for 2000 gallons of water each month from the ranch.

Looking to earn extra income? The 12x24 guest cabin is primed for short- or long-term rental opportunities. And with must-see destinations like Terlingua Ghost Town, Big Bend National Park, Big Bend State Park and Lajitas Golf Resort within driving distance, your guests might never want to leave—though we suggest you don’t feed them or they truly won’t.

Ideal for those who crave quiet nights under dark skies and daily views that make screensavers jealous, this property offers peace, privacy, and plenty of potential. Whether you're homesteading, renting, or just wanting room to roam, this could be the perfect place to saddle up and settle in.
