20 Acres of Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Terlingua, Texas

Crystal Valley is a rare opportunity to own a turn-key managed, top-rated (4.9 stars), highly profitable vacation rental investment property in one of the most beautiful destinations in the country. This 20-acre gem is in the Terlingua Ranch area just a few minutes from the Terlingua Ranch Lodge and with access to the pool and Bad Rabbit Cafe. The house was built in 2011 and completely renovated in 2017. Crystal Valley Cabin on Terlingua Ranch is the ideal home base for your visit to the Big Bend Region. The modern-rustic design will set the perfect tone for your Big Bend adventure. The convenient location and easy access will allow you to focus on your vacation instead of stressing about vehicle access or long drives down questionable roads. The surprising seclusion will provide ample privacy and solitude. But let's not kid ourselves; the best thing about Crystal Valley Cabin is the chance to take a bath in an antique clawfoot tub under the Texas night sky. The meteors fall, satellites fly overhead, and the Milky Way shine; you'll probably want to relax around the campfire with a refreshing beverage, maybe even sausage on a stick, or better yet, some s'mores. Whatever you eat and drink around the fire ring will go well with campfire stories, some songs, or whatever else you want to do. Nobody is watching. It's just you and your partner, or family and friends, under a starry Texas sky. You're probably ready to stop reading and just book your stay. Fine with us, but we really should tell you a bit more. The ramada (no, not the cookie-cutter-hotel-chain, but a freestanding shade structure) beside the outdoor tub is the perfect spot to enjoy the cooling breezes on sunny afternoons or to share a meal while admiring the mountain views. There's also an outdoor shower and sink there. The porches at Crystal Valley Cabin are also great places to relax in the shade while catching a breeze and marveling at the views. Eventually, you may want to come inside. We recommend it anyway. You don't have to, and we won't blame you if you spend all your time outside. However, the bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, and living room are great and useful if you're into that sort of thing. The master bedroom has a comfortable queen bed with high-quality linens and a bedframe that was hand built from a persimmon tree. The bedroom windows have a stunning view of East Corazon Peak. The second bedroom, with a view of Jack Eden Mesa, has a wood-framed bunk bed with a full bed on the bottom and a twin bed on the top. The bathroom has a spacious tile shower (for those that prefer bathing inside). The large kitchen has ample counter and cabinet space, glass top electric range and oven, microwave, coffee maker, large fridge, bar counter, and a large picture window with a fantastic view of Jack Eden Mesa and Crystal Valley. The living room ties it all together with large leather easy chairs, a leather sofa, a wood-burning stove, large ceiling fans, and a breathtaking view of East Corazon Peak. There is even a branch from the property owner's Madrone Tree hanging on the wall just because it's cool. If you need a place where you can focus on a little work (yeah, right!), do some writing, or just get online without too many distractions, there is a built-in desk in the corner of the living room. Wi-Fi internet access is available throughout the home and on the porches. Of course, after bathing under the stars, telling stories by the campfire, sleeping in the comfy beds, and relaxing in the living room, then logging onto social media to share your fun with all your friends, you might want to check out some of the amazing things to see and do in the area. Terlingua Ranch Lodge is just ten minutes from the Bad Rabbit Cafe for great food, cold drinks, and frequent live music. The lodge office is also the place to register if you want to expl
