Darkest sky in West Texas and the gateway to Big Bend National Park

One of the experimental buildings on our property, this structure was designed and built partially by the same artisan who did a good bit of the foundation work on Eve's Garden, one of the best examples of 'papercrete' building world wide and located in north Marathon. This building, named 'Na Bolom' or 'Jaguar House' in Mayan was constructed in the manner of the ubiquitous conical structures in Southern Italy, all through desert communities in the Middle East, Africa and is comfortable for two persons.Come try this amazing edifice in the wilds of the far west Texas, trans-Pecos region just north of Big Bend National Park.
There is a deck on the west side and access is encouraged to the other experimental building projects on La Loma Del Chivo. Free dust and wind are constants , as is the overwhelming brilliance of the great via lactea (milky way). Hot water provided( please quick showers , you are in the desert).
Make yourself comfortable in your air-conditioned apartment, featuring a refrigerator and a microwave. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.
