Property Description

Block 216, Section 29, Tract H-69 is located on Hwy 118 South, approximately 1.8 Miles south of the American Legion.  It is part of Terlingua Ranch and is only minutes from Big Bend National Park & Big Bend State Ranch. There are no restrictions, so you can build what you want, if you want, whatever you want. Power will have to be Solar & water catchment will be your source for water.

It is advisable to have a high clearance auto with 8-10-inch ply tires as these road can be rocky. Carry more water & food than you think you need. Cell service does not always work there & satellite phone is excellent to carry. Alpine is 62.1 miles from the turnoff to the lodge.    Folks love it for hiking & photography. During deer season, hunters like to hunt deer. There is abundant wildlife & birds. We have seen a lot of quail and even found a white horned toad. The color was to blend in with the dirt it was on. It has not been surveyed, but we have the GPS coordinates for all corners. We are not surveyors; we recommend you get a survey before putting anything permanent on the land. There are several  licensed surveyors in our area. Besides the lights, there are no restrictions, so you can build when & what you want. Water catchment and solar will give you off-grid utilities. Now, about your address here, the town says Alpine because an Alpine Mail Carrier delivers the mail. So you are not in Alpine. This confuses many folks. Terlingua Ranch is a favorite area for peace & quiet, getting away from the stress of the city. Dark skies are excellent for star-gazing, so bring your cameras & telescopes. Our county is the largest dark sky community in the world. The views from all directions are like a painting on your canvas. There are restrictions on the type of lights you can have & it is a county ordinance. We have information from McDonald’s Observatory about the kind of legal lights. Terlingua Ranch offers cabins, RV, & Tent camping. A neat little cafe called the Bad Rabbit serves great home-cooked meals. If you are a pilot, there is a dirt strip that you can land on behind the lodge. There is a yearly fee due in March for $229. It takes care of upkeep on the many roads on the ranch.
