Patios on both lower and upper levels encourage you to sit outside in the shade to listen to the birds and wildlife rustle through the leaves against a backdrop of trees and greenery. A separate overlook patio nestled in the trees offers a magical place to sip a glass of wine and watch the boats go by. Lush, undeveloped lots on both sides of the house and across the street ensure your reverie wont be interrupted by neighbors.

The main floor offers an open living/dining/kitchen space that flows out to the covered terrace beyond. A simple stucco fireplace anchors the cool, travertine-floored living area and is flanked by sliding doors opening to the patio. The gourmet kitchen allows the cook to participate the fun and enjoy the view. Two primary suites upstairs open on to an upper terrace for spectacular views and southern breezes. A media room also offers outdoor access and a convenient wet bar. The interior gives a nod to the peaceful, desert aesthetic of a Marfa retreat with cohesive treatments and materials throughout. Every detail was selected with intention and thoughtfully sourced, including solid-cypress doors, 100-year-old fir custom cabinetry and rare long-leaf pine floors.
