142+/- acre property with two bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath 2,300+ square foot home provides commanding panoramic views of the Davis Mountains. The southern slopes of McIvor Mountain, with elevation 5,748 feet, encompasses the northern boundary of the property and seasonal Limpia Creek frames the southern boundary. It’s rare to find a property of this size and topographic diversity for sale in the Davis Mountains: rock faced mountain tops with roaming aoudad sheep, gorge with rock sentinels and a man-made dam dated 1920, grassland flats with a corral across from a seasonal creek. This gem is located on the northwestern boundary of Limpia Crossing Subdivision and a 1-D-1 Appraisal Wildlife Exemption is in effect.
The property to the north is a large ranch with a conservation easement and the ranch to the east is a remote part of Prude Ranch.
Developed with great care and stewardship by the present owner, the home is surrounded by native plant gardens sowed with seeds harvested from trees and native vegetation found on the property. Gravel pathways navigate through the gardens, to the 2,000sf barn and workshop or to one of three observatories, two of which are equipped with Ritchey-Chretien telescopes.
