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.

The photos through that link are wonderful. Houston certainly has nothing that beautiful to offer unless you like smog.

Yeah - West Texas is so different from that part. I went on a vacation out near Garner State Park one year and the drive was beautiful.
