You might be walking in the steps of a couple Oscar winners.
Rising nearly 5,000 feet above sea level in parts, the views of Texas’ brutishly beautiful sunsets and sunrises are hard to beat. With mountains in every direction, be it the Davis Mountains, San Jacinto Mountains and Chinati Mountains there is no shortage of adventure opportunities.
“Cripple Mill Ranch embodies everything that defines a ranch in the Marfa area: vast, open skies; rolling plains dotted with cottonwoods along the creek; towering red rock faces among the mesas and canyons that transform with the day’s changing light,” the listing reads.
Located 22.7 miles south of Marfa, Cripple Mill Ranch also houses deep water wells that make it possible to ranch cattle or hunt Aoudad, mule deer or quail that peruse the area.Either way you’re only a short drive from one of the most famous destinations in the entire state. So famous that Academy Award-winning classics No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood were both filmed in the Marfa area in 2006.
