The Alamito Hills Ranch, a sprawling 2600-acre property nestled in the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert of Texas, has been listed for sale at $2,210,000, marking a reduction from its original asking price of $2,470,000. Located 25 miles south of Marfa, Texas, off Casa Piedra Road, this expansive ranch offers a unique blend of mid-elevation grasslands, scrubland, and breathtaking landscape views, surrounded by the picturesque Davis, Chinati, and Rio Grande mountains.
Situated just past the Cottonwood-lined Alamito Creek and adjacent to large tracts of conservation lands, the Alamito Hills Ranch is steeped in the rich history and rugged beauty of the Old West. The ranch serves as a gateway to hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands, including the Big Bend Ranch State Park and the Rio Grande River, making it an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers.
The ranch’s terrain is a classic representation of “Cattle County” from times past, featuring rolling grass and scrubland within a narrow elevation range that supports a diverse mix of vegetation and wildlife. It is home to species such as the Blue (Scaled) Quail, Mourning Dove, White Wing Dove, Desert Mule Deer, and Javelina, providing excellent habitat for both game and non-game animals. The Alamito Hills Ranch is truly a hunter’s paradise and a nature lover’s dream.
One of the property’s notable features is its inclusion in a Conservation Easement with the Texas Agricultural Land Trust, which restricts subdivision while allowing for recreation, hunting, planned grazing, and limited development. This ensures the preservation of the landscape’s natural beauty and biodiversity for future generations.
Improvements on the ranch include fencing, with some sections being newly installed, a network of roads, and potential building sites equipped with nearby electricity. Additionally, the property boasts one well with a submersible electric pump and encompasses part of the Alamito Creek, offering picturesque park-like settings along its banks.
