About this property

Casa de Agua - Cool Comfort with Nature to Hike

Casa de Agua greets you inside with cool air and colorful Mexican furniture throughout and outside with an awesome view of thousands of undeveloped acres on the Ranch next door. On this side of the fence there are 6 acres of nature to hike up A-mountain. Three bedrooms with new comfortable mattresses and smooth linens, two bathrooms, a 60 inch clawfoot bathtub where you can fully enjoy the natural well water, a comfortable office with high speed internet, a full kitchen, and a two car garage.

Mule deer know. Bats and barn swallows, birds that call the desert home, and those that pass thru the Alps of Texas, like the painted buntings, blue herons, or ducks, are learning-some have stopped in, and just on the edge of Alpine, one mile south, lies Casa de Agua.

Through its windows, in the front yard, serenely place, is a pond. This is what the animals know. Looking out beyond the pond is the magnificent, wide-open, high desert. At the water's edge, the wild mountainous desert softened by this water oasis, calms the spirit and wicks happiness at each swoop of a bird coming for a desert drink. Mosquito fish dance in their pond and find habitat in up-cycled ash tree stumps and cattails that caress the desert landscape at each breeze. This view can be enjoyed sitting outside by the pond, inside from the living room, working from the office, or from the master bedroom. At night the Big Dipper and shooting stars can be seen right out the front door.

Loving nature, the yard around Case de Agua is organically landscaped without the use of chemicals and native plants like salvias, yellow bells, penstemons, Mexican bear grass, and wildflowers, etc. adorn and delight the human eye and provide sustenance to hummingbirds, bumble bees, and other bees of the desert.

Casa de Agua is a little bit city and a little bit country all swirled together, creating the perfect getaway, all awaiting only you!

Casa de Agua has an awesome view of thousands of undeveloped acres on the Ranch next door. On this side of the fence there are 6 acres of nature to hike in - up A-mountain. There is also a treasure hunt for children along the path. Check out the digital guide for more information!

These trails feature is part of the natural landscape which can be prickly and poky. Be sure to wear appropriate clothing and shoes while hiking.

The area around the pond is a common area that can be enjoyed by guests and residents living close by.

Casa de Agua received its name not only because of the special pond in its front yard, but also because it has a unique location in walking distance to a natural foods store called Blue Water Natural Foods, which is an oasis in itself. Open everyday 9am -8 pm, Blue Water provides organic produce, frozen /refrigerated natural foods, meats, vitamins/supplements, beer and wine to the Big Bend. On the road to Big Bend National Park, Blue Water has a great selection of road -trip snacks, cold drinks, and ice for all your adventures here in Far West Texas!

Casa de Agua is pet friendly with prior notice and a $40 pet fee that will be requested through AirBnB before your arrival. Please do not allow pets on the furniture.
Please be aware that the desert terrain can be quite harsh for pets that are not used to it. Dogs shoes are recommended.

EV Charger - An EV charger is located at Blue Water Natural Grocery store a few yard from Casa de Agua.
We have just a couple of rules:
1. No Smoking
2. No Parties or Events
3. Pets only with prior notice and a $40 pet fee which we will request a few days before arrival.

Also beware that we have the property regularly treated for pests. However, if you leave food or crumbs out it is very likely to attract ants into the property.

** Please watch for rattlesnakes. They are part of the native landscape. Keep an eye on your pets. If you see one, please leave it alone and slowly back away.

Worked out well
The property suited the needs of our group of three motorcycle travelers. We needed only one night, but would have gladly stayed there longer if we had needed to do so.
