Overview

Villa de La Mina is an abandoned mining town property featuring a subterranean mine and cavern, along with multiple building sites and retaining structures. The offering includes 20 stone buildings and retaining walls, providing an existing framework for redevelopment and reuse in a unique, historic setting. The site is described as offering 360-degree views of the Chisos Mountains and Big Bend National Park.

The property is located in a concealed location, with access to Highway 170 only about a mile away. It sits between Terlingua and the Lajitas International Airport and Golf Resort area, in Brewster County, Texas.

Given the existing stone structures and the mine/cavern improvements, the property may fit investors and operators looking to create a destination-style concept, such as a boutique hotel, retail/shopping component, or a private family compound. The combination of multiple building sites and the landscape topography can support a range of planning approaches, while the site’s distinct character may appeal to tenants or buyers seeking a differentiated hospitality or mixed-use redevelopment opportunity.
