20 acres of untouched beauty await, deep in the heart of Texas. Brewster County is situated in the western part of the state and named for Colonel Henry Percy Brewster, who was a Secretary of War for what was once known as the Republic of Texas.

Check out Lajitas golf resort or the ghost town of Terlingua. Terlingua was once a booming mining district, where they extracted cinnabar, a mercury ore, in the Chisos Mountains. The 120-mile scenic route of River Road can take you through the majestic Rio Grande Valley between Presidio and the Big Bend parks.
