Let Your Imagination Run Wild: Unrestricted 20 Acres in Alpine, TX

20 acres of untouched beauty await, deep in the heart of Texas. Brewster County is situated in the western part of the state and named for Colonel Henry Percy Brewster, who was a Secretary of War for what was once known as the Republic of Texas. Alpine is the county seat of Brewster County and the perfect location for exploring many area attractions.

Alpine is in the area of Texas known as the Big Bend, part of the Trans-Pecos region. While it’s off the beaten path, there’s still plenty to do in the area. Take in some real Texan culture with local events like the Terlingua Chili Cookoffs, Big Bend Octane Fest (for you gear heads), or the Big Bend Ranch Rodeo (for real working cowboys). 

Area attractions include the Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Fort Davis National Historic Site, Davis Mountains State Park Indian Lodge, the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center and Botanical Gardens, and the McDonald Observatory at Mt Locke. For some local history and culture you can check out the iconic Gage Hotel in nearby Marathon, the Hotel Limpia or the Chinati Foundation Museum of Minimalist Art.

Check out Lajitas golf resort or the ghost town of Terlingua. Terlingua was once a booming mining district, where they extracted cinnabar, a mercury ore, in the Chisos Mountains. The 120-mile scenic route of River Road can take you through the majestic Rio Grande Valley between Presidio and the Big Bend parks.

This property is just a short way from the border of Mexico and the beauty of the Rio Grande river. The town of Alpine has kept its small town feel over the years, which is why you won’t find big box shopping, but you will find lots of original character. A traditional downtown of early 20th-century buildings filled with family owned businesses is what you’ll find in Alpine – your new home.
