Fossil Knob Ridge offers ultra-modern vacation rentals built from recycled shipping containers, uniquely positioned in the rugged Big Bend area of Texas. Each home has been specifically designed by owner-builder Chase Kincannon to capture the immense views of the Chisos Mountains and bring them right into the living space. The property features 6 uniquely designed container homes with contemporary architecture, sustainable design, and luxury amenities that blend seamlessly with the dramatic desert landscape.

Container Homes

Each of the 6 homes offers a different experience, though all share stunning mountain views and modern design. Cinnabar House features 2 king beds and sleeps up to 4 guests. Chisos House offers a king bed and sofa, sleeping up to 3 guests. Quicksilver, Mariscal, Buena Suerte, and Rainbow each provide unique floor plans and views. No two floorplans are alike, ensuring that returning guests can experience a different perspective on the desert each visit. The homes are nestled into the side of a hill, maximizing views while minimizing environmental impact.

Sustainable Architecture

The homes at Fossil Knob Ridge represent a new vision for desert living—luxurious, sustainable, and connected to the landscape. Built from recycled shipping containers, the homes demonstrate that sustainable construction can be both environmentally responsible and visually stunning. Large windows frame the Chisos Mountains while providing natural light and ventilation. The contemporary design creates indoor-outdoor flow that embraces the desert environment. Solar panels and sustainable water systems minimize the environmental footprint.
