Olds Creek Retreat is comprised of 35 acres in three different building envelopes and was the Davis Mountains home of Texas conservation legend Dick Bartlett who founded Thinking Like a Mountain Foundation on this property as a retreat for writers, artist, and conservation folks from around the state. The compound offers a high quality indoor-outdoor experience either under the beautiful large Emory and Grey oaks along the creek or the high vista views from the Library/Studio built on a commanding hill overlooking area mountains. This is nature at its finest, front and center, as this retreat has been nurtured by the Bartlett's to enhance bird, deer, fox, javelina, butterflies, native plants and the many wonders of the high Chihuahuan Desert. It is located at the back end of Limpia Crossing development off Highway 118 on the historic Scenic Loop near McDonald Observatory high in the Davis Mountains of West Texas. This area has become home for many folks from around the state and country interested in nature, the outdoors, and the amazing dark skies. The property is a 30 minute drive to the 33,000 acre Nature Conservancy's Davis Mountain Preserve and in proximity to private ranches with conservation easements totaling 65,000 acres.
