The Property is visible for miles on top of mountain with full views in all directions. Southern edge of the ranch is the Rio Grande river. Home has full cooks kitchen with all one might need to throw a dinner party, bake , outdoor grill, gas stove, modern appliances, with washer in utility room . Both bedrooms boost firm beds with fine French linen fully tiled private baths, both private built for luxury and to capture private views. Property is 1 hour and 15 south of Marfa either down pinto canyon road picture perfect drive ( please note you will need a high clearance vehicle to take pinto canyon road 2810 from Marfa ) Or one can also take 67 south to Presidio then 42.5 miles west on the river road to property also a great drive on paved state highway also takes one hour and 15 min to 12481 Farm Road 170 look for large sign on right ( Marfa Land and Cattle Company) If you are looking for true peace in 4 star setting you would be welcome here. There is no cell service at the house but we do have a hard line phone and internet service. Although you are in the Big Bend it's 1 hour half to Big Bend National Park. Big bend state park is about an hour away which is becoming a world class location for Moutain Biking. There is also plenty of room to hike and bike around the property. There is a HDTV which can be rolled outside so one can watch the collection of old western films overlooking Mexico to the south. Great star gazing. Also Mule Deer, Elk, Javelina, Aoudad, Rare Big Horn Sheep. Great bird watching many Birds of prey. We have completely redone the road up to the house March 2015 no more rocks or bumps as noted in couple of reviews. As a house quest you can book day pass to swim in Ruidosa thru Angell Expeditions.

Other things to note
This is a remote location very safe and picture perfect. You do need high clearance vehicle to take pinto canyon road 2810 route south from Marfa or to Ruidosa the right or west for 4.5 miles house is on the right box 12481. Take note the drive down pinto canyon is worth the extra cost of larger high clearance vehicle if your renting but we do not advise taking it at night no danger it's just nerve racking and the point is the views. Otherwise the drive is a state highway all paved From Marfa take 67 to Presidio then 37 miles west on Farm road 170 to small town of Ruidosa proceed 4.5 miles to sign saying MARFA LAND and CATTLE CO. On your right. The river road is a great drive out most likely will see game and roaming cattle and horses and native inhabitants. You can book day use of a pool in Ruidosa as well hikes, river rafting, Jeep tours thru. Angell Expeditions. ( WE DO NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING PINTO CANYON ROAD AT NIGHT )
