Tract 3 of the Marfa Ranch Limited development is located on Ranch Road 2810 just 10 miles from the town of Marfa.

The entrance drive from paved Ranch Road 2810, also known as Pinto Canyon Road, leads up to a short, unassuming road and then turns dramatically up the hill to provide a panoramic grassland view. The Nature Conservancy easement allows for the development of a 25 acre residential compound, a well, planned grazing and recreational hunting, but prohibits all further subdivision or commercial use of the Marfa Ranch Limited Tracts which will protect the view shed of Tract 3 toward the Davis Mountains.

The Alamito Valley embodies the Texas high desert. The soil ranges from white to red to grey with great diversity of flora. The Alamito Creek Valley cuts across the eastern portion of the ranch, creating a dramatic view to the north and south. From the well-maintained dirt roads, you have access to both the lush creek bed and the high, rocky outcropping on the east. Directly north and over 40 miles away, the Davis Mountains rise up with Mount Livermore visible on clear days. This ranch is located within a transitional zone between two distinct ecological regions: the mixed prairie and the desert grassland. The Escondido Escarpment - the southernmost terminus of the Marfa Plateau - marks this habitat and elevation shift with its impressive 400 foot cliff faces, mesas, and deep rocky canyons. Diverse wildlife can be found year round including mule deer, blue scale quail, javelina, aoudad sheep, with an incredible, seasonal, migratory bird population. Alamito Ranch has been engaged in grassland restoration through a series of EQIP subsidized programs. These programs aim to remove invasive species by utilizing spiking and grubbing. A cattle operation has continued as part of the restoration with the foremost priority being restoration of rangelands to their natural pre-agribusiness state. Reestablishment of native vegetation, the maintenance of healthy soils, and the conservation of local watersheds have been essential elements to restore habitat in the Alamito Valley. As the new owner of the Alamito Canyon tract, opportunities for continued involvement in the restoration projects are available or you may operate the ranch as you please, as there is no conservation easement in place.
