About this property

The Merit Camp: private modern ranch house w/pool just outside Marfa City limits

Located on a large, agricultural, acreage tract just 1 mile outside of the City of Marfa, the Merit Camp is a 2 bedroom/2.5 bath home constructed in 2021 with saltwater pool that can be heated. Uninterrupted views of the Davis Mountains to the north, Puertacita and Haystacks to northeast, Goat Mountain to east, and Chinati Peak to the southwest. There is nothing else like this home near Marfa!

We built the Merit Camp so guests could experience what it is like to live on an operational ranch, but only a few minutes drive to all that the town of Marfa has to offer. The home was sited to take advantage of the movement of the sun, the big sky, and the sweeping views 20-30 miles in each direction. There are miles of private walking trails on hundreds of acres available exclusively to guests of the Merit Camp. High end appliances, luxury linens, and top-quality furnishings throughout bring all the conveniences of a luxury home to the untamed High Desert; there is no need to compromise comfort.

We offer rates for events of up to 100 guests; inquire for current rates.
There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as an outdoor pool or make use of other amenities including barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.
