He built the house last year, on the incline of a mesa on his 3,000-acre spread in Brewster County, where shale bluffs and sandy valleys are dotted with sagebrush and spiky yucca, and giant tarantulas languidly cross the heat-radiating roads.

Yes, there are giant tarantulas in West Texas. Yes, they cross roads. What's really crazy is when they migrate en masse and the ground is covered in a horde of giant tarantulas on the movie.

That said, the house in this article is incredible. I would love to have a vacation there. Check out the slide show, especially for the two pictures that show the incredible sky.

Articles like these remind me what an urban guy I am. I was thinking how majestic and romantic and relaxing it all looked, when the rattlesnake picture popped up. No thanks. I would rather have a really good meal and walk through a city I love. One that doesn't have rattlesnakes!
