A rare, large tract of land just west of Marfa has hit the market with an asking price of $5,545,000.
Located at 18311 State Highway 90, the 119-acre property lies just one mile beyond Marfa’s city limits and features nearly 1,200 feet of highway frontage. The listing by Lauren Meader Fowlkes of Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty notes that no deed restrictions or city zoning laws apply, as the land is over half a mile outside the town’s ETJ (extraterritorial jurisdiction).
“This is the closest large tract to Marfa to hit the market in nearly a decade,” Fowlkes said. “It’s ideal for a private retreat, creative compound, or future development.”
Covered in native grasses, yucca, and desert brush, the parcel offers unobstructed mountain views and sightlines to the Marfa courthouse water tower. The land is fully fenced and bordered by overhead electric and fiber-optic internet access along U.S. 90. Nearby neighbors have reported successful well drilling at 350–400 feet deep.
Although no structures are currently on the land, its proximity—walkable or bikeable—from downtown Marfa makes it especially appealing for investors, ranchers, or developers seeking access to the city’s arts and tourism ecosystem with the freedom of rural property use.
