21 Acres In Terlingua Ranch
Brewster County, Texas

Excellent Texas Ranch Land!
Open Skies & Clean Air!
Abundant Wildlife!
Awesome Mountain Views!
Great Road Frontage!
Located “in” Big Bends grasp!

Terlingua is a special place, because of its deserts, its mountains, its views. The name is famed for quite a number of reasons, not due to just one specific event. Thousands make the Fall annual week- long Terlingua Chili Cookoff, others enjoy the peaceful, escape from the rat-race , the inspiring landscapes, or to study the rich geology, archaeology and paleontology in the mountainous and desert land forms. Those who live in Terlingua take pride to call this their home, and eager to see the arts and entertainment culture grow among this small population in a vast territory.

This is considered one of Texas’ greatest kept secrets when it comes to the land market. Once word of this area gets out to the mainstream, expect prices to rise dramatically.

There is plenty of wildlife out here, including deer, quail, doves, and javelina. So if you’re into just looking through your binoculars, viewfinder, or even your scope, this is a great place to do it!

Land is widely known as an excellent investment. This is simply due to the fact that there is only a little bit of land for a whole lot of people. When the rules of supply and demand come into play, every day as the population rises, land becomes more valuable. Some economists theorize that in the not so distance future large land ownership will be only for the very wealthy.

Here is what some people have said who visited Terlingua Ranch Resort:
“[5 out of 5 star rating] …along with peace, remoteness, spectacular views, and the best pool around, this is a fine place. The sixteen-mile ranch road (last three miles are well-maintained gravel) through the Christmas Mountains is well worth the effort. Many sport and powered glider pilots make it a favorite destination. Amateur astronomers are especially delighted with the very dark skies and local star parties are common at the dark of the moon.”

“[5 out of 5 star rating] The views were beautiful, the air was fresh and clean. If you are looking to get away from the stuffy, crowded city then this is the perfect place. … if you are looking for a place to get away from it all and get back to nature and just get some total relaxation or maybe go hiking or exploring the wilderness — then you’ll love this place.”

 

Surrounding Land
This is a truly amazing part of the country, which attracts visitors from all over. It is located at the doorstep of Big Bend National Park, as well as Big Bend State Natural Area. The views are simply amazing, with “postcard” scenes everywhere you look. The elevation is around 3700 feet above sea level, which offers warm summers and very mild winters.
