A seven-acre homestead in Sunny Glen Canyon, about seven miles from Alpine, has been listed for $1 million, offering a fully developed organic farm, multiple residences and extensive renewable energy systems in a scenic mountain setting.
The property sits at elevations ranging from 4,825 to 5,050 feet, providing a cooler climate than much of Texas. Three of the seven acres are enclosed within an 8-foot wildlife fence designed to protect crops and livestock from deer, javelina, coyotes and other native animals.
The homestead includes more than 3,000 square feet of living space across three buildings. The 1,632-square-foot main home features one bedroom, a large open-concept living area, a spa-style primary suite, a glass-enclosed sunroom with a fireplace and an attached greenhouse. A separate 600-square-foot guest house offers canyon views and a screened porch, while an 800-square-foot bunkhouse contains two studio apartments that can be converted into a one-bedroom residence.
The agricultural operation includes approximately 100 galvanized raised growing tanks filled with organic compost, about 200 feet of table grape vines, and mature peach, pecan, plum and apple trees, all supported by a drip irrigation system. Two large compost piles provide fertilizer for the gardens.
Animal facilities include chicken and goat barns, fenced pastures and a 60-foot-diameter pond supplied by well water that has been used to raise tilapia during the summer and trout during the winter.
Water is provided by a strong well powered by either electricity or a windmill. Water is pumped to a 3,000-gallon storage tank before being gravity-fed to the homes, irrigation system and pond.
The property also features an 11.3-kilowatt grid-tied solar system, a 20-kilowatt propane backup generator capable of powering the entire property, radiant floor heating in the main home and guest house, and a 4,000-square-foot elevated building slab overlooking Sunny Glen Canyon and Alpine for a future custom home.
The property is shown by appointment only. For more information or to schedule a viewing, contact Realtor Johnny Carpenter at (432) 837-3325.
