luxury real estate for sale Marfa, United States

One-of-a-kind hilltop residential compound with expansive views. This 16+ acre private hilltop compound overlooking Marfa was meticulously constructed over a decade to provide an idyllic experience of high-desert living. The design, construction, quality, and amenities of this unique property are unparalleled. The location is deceptively private, yet provides immediate access to town. The main entrance off San Antonio Street—Marfa’s main thoroughfare—is hidden in plain sight, just beyond the city limits. The linear steel entrance gate opens onto a maintained gravel road that winds to the top of the hill. Over two hundred native and adapted planted trees provide privacy, shade, and wind breaks, and have created a flourishing wildlife habitat. Views across the broad Marfa Plateau extend in every direction for dozens of miles, punctuated by Mount Livermore, Chinati Peak, and the Puertacitas mountains. The Mitchell Flat spreads out to the east, and is the prime viewing location for the famed Marfa Lights. The property's southern border abuts a sizable ranch, providing access for wildlife. Frequent visitors include pronghorn antelope, mule deer, javelina, foxes, bobcats, and abundant migratory birds.
