El Cielo, a 48.26-acre ranch nestled in the Davis Mountains of West Texas, is now on the market for $2,750,000. Located just 12 miles from Fort Davis and 29 miles from Marfa, this property offers a rare blend of seclusion and convenience, making it an attractive option for those seeking a unique and tranquil living experience in a “Sky Island” environment.
The property features a meticulously designed and built compound with over 4,000 square feet of conditioned interior space spread across three buildings, including a main house, guest house, and studio. Designed by Kristin Bonkemeyer and Tom Greenwood and constructed by the late James Cook, the compound is a testament to the owners’ love of nature, art, and design. The buildings are thoughtfully integrated into the dramatic landscape, with towering cliff faces and expansive pastures offering stunning views of Mt. Livermore, Cathedral Mountain, and other area highlights.
The main house features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living room space with 13-foot ceilings, large cedar beams, and custom cabinetry. The master suite includes a separate dressing area, two walk-in closets, and a double vanity bath area. Additionally, the property boasts over 3,000 square feet of covered and screened porches, an entertainment pavilion, a garage, and a 500-square-foot equipment barn.
El Cielo is not only a home but also a sanctuary for wildlife, including deer, aoudad sheep, and over 11 species of hummingbirds. The ranch is divided by Largent Ranch Road and offers hiking and climbing opportunities on the dramatic cliff faces and boulders of Point of Rocks.
Water for the property is secured through a new 400-foot solar well and an older seasonal well in the front pasture. The ranch also has an Agricultural Exemption with planned grazing using neighboring livestock when needed.
