Terlingua, TX 79852 - Brewster County

This property sits just off North Lowery Key Road, with direct, practical access, only about 1.4 miles from Highway 118, the main artery connecting Terlingua, Study Butte, and Big Bend National Park.

Unlike many remote parcels in the area, power lines are nearby, giving you the option to pull electricity if desired, while still maintaining a fully off-grid lifestyle.

Whether you’re planning a private ranch retreat, off-grid home, glamping setup, short-term rental, or long-term land hold, this location checks the boxes.

Increasing land scarcity near Highway 118

Only $26,500 — a price point that’s becoming rare in Terlingua.
