Ask a questionAbout Tom Lehr
Liz and Kirk: I am a native Texan (Houston) and my husband is a native of Colorado. We have lived in Colorado for many years. We fell in love with Big Bend country while visiting the National Park. Who knew there were gorgeous mountains in Texas?? We love the climate, wide open spaces, West Texas culture and the super friendly people out here. I am a graphic designer and Kirk is an artisan and stone engraver. We love the artistic culture and gorgeous landscapes, but most of all, the sunsets and stargazing!
Tom Lehr purchased this house in 2016
Why Tom Lehr chose Marathon
We fell in love with Terrazas Adobe because of its history, and the regional feel of the house and grounds. It is just so much fun to be at the house! We want to be stewards of the history of the house, and the neighborhood in south Marathon.
What makes this house unique
Location! The house is within walking distance of all the attractions in Marathon, plus close proximity to Big Bend National Park! The Amtrak "Sunset Limited" line (New Orleans to LA) stops in Alpine, just 30 miles away! Some of our friends in LA and Phoenix are already planning train travel to come out and see us. Marathon is centrally located in Big Bend area-- close to Marfa, Alpine/Sul Ross University, Terlingua, and MacDonald Observatory, a world-class scientific reasearch center. There is so much to do and see in the Marathon area, your stay will be fun-filled and memorable!
