Perched on a scenic ridge just minutes from downtown Fort Davis, High Frontier is a rare West Texas retreat where dark skies, crisp mountain air, and wide-open spaces take center stage. Set amid the Davis Mountains at roughly a mile-high elevation, the property offers sweeping views by day and awe-inspiring stargazing by night—thanks to the region’s internationally recognized, crystal-clear skies.
What makes High Frontier special:
- Elevated ridge-top setting with far-reaching Davis Mountains vistas. - Exceptional night skies ideal for astronomy and photography. - Comfortable indoor-outdoor living with multiple view decks and gathering spaces. - Proximity to McDonald Observatory, state parks, and Fort Davis amenities. - A peaceful, private feel without sacrificing convenience.
This house offers a full kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, outdoor seating areas, a fireplace, and set apart from the rest of the property on private corner.
