When I’m eastbound and down and I can’t help but cry ‘Cause I-40 gets lonelier with every mile I’ll know that his mind wasn’t ever gonna change ‘Cause his heart still belongs to the Lone Star State Choosing Texas – Ella Langley  Sitting high on the bluff an hour:45 SouthWest of First Worth, it ain’t all that hard to figure why someone would choose Texas. The wide open spaces, the cool breeze at night and some of the best smoked meats anywhere. This 16 acres is a perfect getaway from all the nonsense of city life. You’ll have open pasture on the hilltop with a hundred miles of views over the cliffside all the way to the sunset. Hike down, set up some blinds and you’ve got a perfect split of hunting on the bottom and living on the top. If you feel like seeing people, Stephenville has all the charm you expect from a Texas town. Abilene outta cure your craving for more and a little longer and you’ll pull into Fort Worth. But the historic appeal of a frontier boom town will likely draw your attention to the main street in nearby Desdemona. That is, if you decide to come down from your cliffside oasis at all. You can power your property with a local co-op or you’ve got the space for solar or generator power. Dig a well, install a septic and you could be off-grid faster than a knife fight in a phone booth. Desdemona is far enough for you to leave everything but your sense of imagination and adventure behind. Let’s take a drive and get you ready to choose Texas with your new Desdemona ranch.
