The Light Box: Marfa photo icon with 200K+ views and epic sunrise

Known as 'The Light Box', this AIA award-winning home is two stacked 10x10 Corten steel boxes, featured in a Fair Companies video tour with more than 200,000 views. It reflects the minimalist Marfa aesthetic: essentially a Donald Judd art piece in the form of a home. Watch the desert sunrise from the loft bed, then walk to Marfa's galleries, restaurants and coffee.

THE SPACE
Downstairs: an open kitchen and dining area, backed by a bathroom with a walk-in shower. New tankless water heater and showerhead, so the pressure is good and the hot water doesn't run out.

Upstairs: a yacht-style alternating tread staircase climbs to the bedroom, which cantilevers out over the first floor. Queen bed, a heated bed pad for cold desert nights, a large monitor, and the sunrise right from bed, facing one of the longest views in Marfa.

Out back: a large shaded patio in a freshly landscaped gravel yard, with outdoor dining, sun loungers and a fire pit. Two flap doors open the kitchen straight onto the patio.

PARKING
Park on the left side, right in front of the house, or on the left side of the gray rocks, next to the Mercedes.

GOOD TO KNOW
It's 320 square feet, the stairs are steep, and the bathroom has no door. We're on the edge of town on an unpaved road, a short walk to everything. Self check-in with a keypad; the code is sent the morning of arrival.
