Tract 3 of the Marfa Ranch Limited development is located on Ranch Road 2810 just 10 miles from the town of Marfa. Protected by a Nature Conservancy Easement, The Marfa Ranch Limited development was created over 20 years ago to offer its owners the full beauty of the ranch experience, on more reasonably sized tracts. There is not another acreage tract of this size, this close to Marfa, with such expansive views and privacy, with the benefit of agricultural property tax valuation. The most compact of the Marfa Ranch Limited tracts, this rare parcel seems to have been carved out intentionally to provide the highest experiential value per acre. Tract 3 encompasses almost the entirety of a hilltop, providing commanding views across thousands of acres of grassland bound by mountains in every direction. 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.

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.
