405 North Austin Street is situated in the heart of Marfa; and is a a private, 3,769 square foot hacienda style home which has been meticulously updated, adding contemporary amenities while preserving the best of the historical elements. The sprawling compound covers an entire half-City block, surrounded on all sides by streets or alleyway, just one block off the Courthouse Square.
The main home was built in 1885 and was once owned by Donald Judd. It is constructed from adobe and features high ceilings, a wood shingle roof, floor-to-ceiling windows and a roof deck. Containing 3,159 square feet, the floor plan can be used as a two bedroom home or its current configuration as a one bedroom and additional entertaining space with a wet bar and half bath. The main bedroom has a fireplace, luxurious marble bathroom with soaking tub, and substantial walk-in closet. The historical millwork, doors, plaster walls, and mantles remain but modern features have been elegantly brought in. The designer kitchen has marble countertops, a chef's gas range, dishwasher, floor to ceiling wood cabinetry and an adjoining room large enough to accommodate an office and laundry suite. From the solarium there are stairs to the home's basement, a rare find in Marfa.
Across the courtyard to the north, what was once likely a early 1900's barn has been converted into a guest suite with adjoining storage room. The suite has a full bath with soaking tub and a long, south facing covered porch.
On the west of the main home adjoining the circle driveway with its own private access ,is a casita built by Reclaimed Space and originally intended as a work space, and now contains a full bath.
With over 3/4 of an acre of land, step outside and enjoy one of the covered porches, the open patio with fire pit, desert landscaping, an enclosed courtyard containing a spiral staircase leading to the roof deck, or the spacious pasture-like west yard covered in native grasses.
