Why they chose this property
We purchased the 200 acre ranch back in 2006 even though it was 500 miles from our home in San Antonio, TX. We were so captivated by its remoteness and beauty that our hearts told us we had to have it as a get away from the big city. Our intention was to retire there in 2015. We named the ranch Tierra Sagrada (sacred land) realizing it was so magical and special out there. The ranch came with a well, electricity and a large if somewhat older mobile home that we refurbished. In 2011 we purchased a newer small mobile home for guests and renters. We added large decks to both places for relaxing, mountain viewing and star gazing.
We reside in Alpine TX now, just a short beautiful 2 hour drive to the ranch. We spend our time at both places.

What makes this property unique
The unique benefits are being in a magical beautiful place and having no other tourists (except perhaps a feral donkey or two). Typically, you have to camp out to enjoy such remoteness, but here, you have all the comforts of home with the beauty of the land and sky all to yourself. It is ideal for families to hike, view animal tracks, look at the moon coming up over the mountains and stargazing. No cell coverage here, so: NO TEXTING!! Families love the fact that the kids and even themselves get a break for their devices!
