TERLINGUA, BREWSTER COUNTY – A 62-acre town with all the amenities of an early 1900s village recently hit the market for $1.75 million.
The Villa de la Mina, a ghost town in Terlingua, has about 20 standing buildings, each with rock walls and cement floors.
Near Big Bend National Park in West Texas, it includes the largest mine in the area with a railroad track entering it.
On the property are normal resort amenities: a two-story hotel, private cabins, several fireplaces, and a pool.
Then there are the reminders that The Villa was built a hundred years ago: the reptile-holding tank, a reinforced-door dynamite shack, an outdoor oven.
