Level Lot Under El Paso Skies

Picture the drive. You turn off the pavement onto a dirt road running east of the Franklin Mountains, and the desert opens up in every direction, creosote, open sky, mountains stacked blue on the far edge of it. Then you stop, because you're there. This quarter acre is yours. Mountain Shadow Estates sits at 4,386 feet in the Chihuahuan Desert of El Paso County, in the broad basin known as the Hueco Bolson. The lot is level, 0.27 acres, 11,889 square feet, which means no grading headaches and no guessing where a pad would go. Roadrunners and jackrabbits are your neighbors. So are some of the best sunsets in Texas, in a region that logs over 300 sunny days a year. This corner of Texas draws people for a reason.
