Located on ten acres abutting thousands of acres of ranch land with unobstructed views of the Davis Mountains to the north and the Haystack Mountains to the east, this private ideal has a panoramic view of the landscape far and wide. It is a delight to sit out on the patio in the evening around the fire pit and watch the exquisite light show that is sky of west Texas as the last rays of the sun turn to hot pink, to purple and many shades in between as the night falls and the sky fills with the amazing show of the constellations and the Milky Way spilling across the vast night sky. Chosen as one of Architectural Digest’s 50 great houses, it is easy to understand why with blend of beautiful design and stunning landscape.
This stunning home located approximately two miles from Marfa’s center is a gorgeous light filled structure constructed modular system of glulam timbers, steel connectors, and structural insulated panels. The house features a two-foot clerestory that completely encircles the structure and allows for the variance of light to illuminate the house during the day and provides a graphic band of light surrounding the house at night. To maintain the integrity of the design, all the mechanical systems and wiring are channeled through the concrete foundation. The house has all modern conveniences and top of the line appliances with a clear nod to the easy flow of good design and solid building making this a wonderful cornerstone of a desert life. Each room has it’s own expansive views while maintaining a sense of privacy.
Cleverly concealed closets discreetly hidden within a privacy wall separating the living room from the entry integrate storage and mechanicals without disrupting the home’s flow.
A bedroom is located at each end of the hallway. Walking into the living space you’ll find an open design, perfect for entertaining and keeping the party going from the kitchen to the dining room to the living room. The glass doors open onto a seating area with a fire pit, perfect for a sunset drink gathered around the fire pit watching the light shift on the mountains.
A path leading from the east side of the house goes to a wonderfully configured desert palapa where you can lounge on comfortable couches or enjoy an outdoor dining area. The screens for this exterior room can be lifted and the interior opened to the view. Further down the path is another seating area with a container lap pool with a hot tub accessory built in. The grounds have all native plantings and the former pasture has been returned to a rehabbed landscape of native prairie grasses and trees.
