Secluded ranch that was featured on ‘numerous TV shows’ lists in Texas. Take a look
A very unique — and very secluded — ranch and campground combo has landed on the real estate market in Alpine, Texas for $225,000.
And its look is like no other in terms of style and decor. In fact, the primary two-bedroom, two-bathroom home (that was built by the owners) on the 20-acre property is composed “of masonry and glass bottles” which gives it a colorful appeal, Realtor.com reports.
“The gentleman did all of the masonry work himself,” listing agent Clay Braden told Realtor regarding one of the owners. “As campers came through the property, they would help build part of the house. Each wall has a unique item in it. It’s very unique and cool.”
The property is also completely eco-friendly and has “been featured on numerous TV shows, videos, and magazines,” the listing on Realtor says.
Features include:
2,700 square foot primary home
5-acre poultry/goat yard
1,600-square-foot greenhouse
Glass smokehouse
There’s also 33 campsites and two nightly rental rooms.
“People love the serenity of the area,” Braden said to Realtor. “Hipcamp has listed it as one of the top campgrounds. Campers come for anywhere from a night to a week at a time and can learn about their sustainability projects.”
The property is listed on Hipcamp and has a current 96% approval rating with raving reviews from folks who have camped on the land.
“This was an unforgettable camping experience,” one person said. “The vast and beautiful landscape of Robert and Debbie’s property was truly special. Wonderful hosts who have carved a life and a land unlike any other. Camping and cooking atop the water-woven clay was a dream.”
“Robert’s place was so amazing and unique. He took the time to show me and my two boys his off grid systems,” another gushed. “Brilliantly designed by the way. Robert and his wife where so kind and patient with my two boys and all of their questions. His land is beautiful and peaceful, with adequate number of toilets and a cool outdoor kitchen. Not just a beautiful off grid camping spot but a welcoming learning center for sustainable living. He and his wife are quite a gift to this world.”
The listing is held by Mtn. View Properties.
Alpine is close to the Texas/Mexico border and about 70 miles north of Big Bend National Park.
