Nestled five miles west of Marfa, Texas, along the scenic Pinto Canyon Road, a remarkable property offers a rare blend of architectural elegance and sprawling natural beauty. Priced at $9,850,000, reduced from $11,495,000, this 2,858-acre estate presents an unmatched opportunity in Presidio County’s prestigious real estate market.
Designed by the renowned Carlos Jimenez of Carlos Jimenez Studio in Houston, the estate features an 8,000± square foot climate-controlled main house completed in 2001, adorned with an additional 5,000± square feet of porches, courtyards, and a pavilion. This residence is not just a home but an architectural statement that was recognized as one of the top seven home designs worldwide by Architectural Report in 2004.
Luxury and Design Meet Functionality: The estate boasts six bedrooms and nine bathrooms (seven full, two half), with hardwood floors throughout and a mason block exterior of Trendstone Plus. The property includes steel insulated windows and doors, ten-foot ceilings, and 300 trees on a drip line irrigation system enhancing the landscaped grounds, which also feature outdoor lighting. Notably, the driveway doubles as a landing strip for private aircraft, adding a unique touch of accessibility.
The kitchen is a chef’s dream with stainless steel countertops, a large twin sink, a built-in espresso machine, and a Thermador gas stove. It adjoins an informal dining area with large windows that offer courtyard views and a walk-in pantry that is as spacious as it is functional.
Expansive Living Spaces: The master bedroom suite includes a sitting area, two private full baths with walk-in closets, and custom shelving. A separate guest wing contains four bedroom suites, each with full baths, providing privacy and luxury for visitors. Additional living spaces include a formal dining room with a newly constructed bar, a living room with dramatic views of the Davis Mountains, a library, and a media room equipped with a surround sound system.
Outdoor and Community Features: The estate is enhanced by extensive grounds that include separate gardens, an arbor, and a three-bedroom caretaker or housekeeper residence. Conservation easements with The Nature Conservancy ensure the preservation of the landscape, part of the million-acre Chihuahuan Desert Grasslands. The property’s diverse ecosystem supports a range of wildlife, including pronghorn antelope and desert mule deer.
Future Potential: This property can be divided into four tracts, each with its own headquarters, offering potential for future development or conservation projects. The extensive pastures, new fencing, and a sophisticated water distribution system underscore the estate’s readiness for both residential and agricultural pursuits.
