Historic Adobe - Organic King Bed - Walkable | House in Marfa
1 Bedroom House in Marfa
Welcome to Watermelon Adobe, a lovingly restored 1890s home with a private backyard in the heart of Marfa. Walk to the town’s best coffee shops, galleries, restaurants and shops, then return to a peaceful retreat filled with historic character and modern comfort.
The spacious 1,600-square-foot adobe features soaring 12-foot ceilings, thick earthen walls, Spanish tile and polished concrete floors, an organic king-size mattress, whole-home water filtration and a new remote-controlled mini-split for year-round heating and cooling.
The Space
Designed for couples, solo travelers and remote work, the adobe feels calm, spacious and private. Large windows bring in soft morning light, dramatic sunsets and views of Marfa’s star-filled skies.
Handcrafted furniture, heirloom rugs and an eight-foot dining table made from Texas knotty pine create comfortable spaces for dining, reading, working or simply slowing down. High-speed Wi-Fi and dedicated work areas make longer stays easy.
There is no television by design, but a Sonos sound system lets you enjoy your own music throughout your stay.
Bedroom
Rest comfortably on an organic king-size mattress with organic bedding. Two soft cotton-gauze robes are provided for use during your stay.
Kitchen
The kitchen includes a vintage-inspired refrigerator and freezer, a restored 1940s O’Keefe & Merritt stove, cast-iron cookware and the essentials needed to prepare meals at home.
Bathroom
A sliding barn door made from repurposed wood opens to a thoughtfully renovated bathroom featuring a cast-iron tub and shower, hand-painted tile, ceramic sconces, an LED medicine cabinet and soft mood lighting.
Screened Porch and Backyard
The screened-in porch includes comfortable seating, backyard views and a potbelly stove with firewood. It is an ideal place to drink coffee at sunrise, enjoy sotol at sunset or stargaze after dark.
Guests have private access to the entire adobe and its expansive 7,000-square-foot yard. A full-size washer and dryer are also available.
Historic Character
The natural movement of the adobe walls tells the story of a home built more than a century ago. Inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, ceramicist Mary Rose has subtly highlighted some of the home’s natural cracks with veins of gold leaf, honoring its character, resilience and history.
Location
Watermelon Adobe is located in a quiet residential neighborhood within easy walking distance of central Marfa. You can leave the car behind for most restaurants, shops and galleries. The Marfa Lights Viewing Area and Prada Marfa require a drive.
Simple, soulful and designed for downtime, Watermelon Adobe offers a peaceful place to experience the landscape, creativity and unmistakable character of Marfa.
