Property Description
Stargazer Dream - 5 Acres on a Mountain Top Stunning Views, Minutes from McDonald Observatory Step into the world of celestial wonder with this 5-acre mountain-top property, offering breathtaking views of the stars and surrounding mountains. Located just minutes from the renowned McDonald Observatory, this property is a haven for stargazers and nature lovers alike. The property features a white metal building designed as a roll-off roof observatory, complete with two telescope piers and a cozy warm-up room. The floor is carpeted, providing a comfortable space for relaxing after a night of stargazing. The observatory roof can be manually opened or, with the installation of an automatic opener or hand winch, you can easily open it with minimal effort. A beige metal Mueller building with a carport includes a skylight, woodstove, sitting room, a nice bedroom, storeroom, and toilet. The concrete floor ensures durability, with no carpeting. Electricity is available to both buildings, although the Mueller building currently has only one wall outlet in the storeroom-extension cords can be used as needed for additional power. There is a septic system, but no well on the property. A water storage tank is used for toilet flushing, providing a practical solution for water needs. The property also includes four concrete pads, previously used for telescope mounts, perfect for additional observatory equipment or other uses. For connectivity, there is a Big Bend Telephone Wi-Fi pole on-site, and the current owner has a lifetime contract for free internet. Additionally, a small brown shed houses Wi-Fi equipment, currently leased to Mountain Zone TV in Alpine. They pay a monthly stipend of $10 for electricity use, covering the property's power costs. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with easy access to some of the best stargazing in the world, this property is the perfect place to create your dream home or observatory!
