We looked at hundreds of pieces of land in Terlingua online and viewed half dozen places in person. Many were a complete disappointment and not what we wanted. We did find a nice piece of land in Cedar Springs but we decided it was just a bit too far down very rugged dirt roads for us to realistically get supplies there. So we kept looking until we saw this plot in November of 2020. This site was only a 15 minute drive down a decently kept dirt road and we knew it was the one as soon as we got out of the truck.

The mesas are the defining feature of our land and are bordered with thin rock ledges that overhand several feet in some places.  These mesas create an excellent backdrop to build up against that would leave us a 270 degree view of Packsaddle, Panther, and Agua Fria Mountains.

40 acres unimproved land in Brewster County, TX cost us $24,000 with $800 paid to get a property survey. Property taxes are approximately $700/year.

In May of 2025, we closed on an adjacent 20 acres of land that gives us a total of 60 acres and road access to upper elevations of our property.
