Land & Ranch · Far West Texas · Brewster County, Texas
Brewster County, Texas · 40 acres ·
Forty acres of Chihuahuan Desert open up under some of the darkest skies in Texas on this Terlingua property in Brewster County, the largest county in the state by area and gateway to Big Bend National Park. The land sits within Terlingua Ranch, a master-planned community that offers amenities uncommon in Far West Texas: an airstrip, a community pool, laundry facilities, Wi-Fi and reliable cell service, plus the Bad Rabbit Cafe for provisions and conversation. A 20-by-30-foot RV cover and a 6-by-10-foot storage unit are already in place, making the property ready for immediate use as a camp or staging ground for exploration, with the option to build later. Stargazing here is extraordinary, and the desert stretches in every direction with unobstructed views of distant mountains and volcanic ridges.
Terlingua has long been the staging ground for visitors to Big Bend National Park, and this property places you squarely in that landscape. Brewster County runs from grassy highlands near Alpine through creosote flats and volcanic peaks all the way to the deep river canyons of the Rio Grande. Alpine, the county seat, sits about thirty miles northeast and provides groceries, fuel, medical services, and Sul Ross State University. Legacy Broker Group represents this land from our Alpine Far West Texas office. A 2021 Winnebago Micro Minnie 2108DS travel trailer is available for purchase with the property.
