About this home
Welcome to a rare opportunity to own 2,100 acres of classic South Texas brush country just outside Zapata, Texas. This expansive ranch showcases diverse terrain with rolling elevation changes, scenic ridgelines, and numerous arroyos that act as natural tributaries to the mighty Rio Grande. Rich in native habitat and wildlife, the property has transitioned from a working cattle ranch to a wildlife-exempt recreational haven—making it ideal for hunting, conservation, or use as a private retreat.
A unique and standout feature of this ranch is its historical connection to Falcon Lake, one of Texas’ most renowned bass fishing destinations. When the lake was created, approximately 700 acres in the center of the property were acquired by the federal government. Today, when Falcon Lake reaches capacity, this area becomes part of the usable landscape—enhancing water access, creating excellent seasonal opportunities for fishing and waterfowl hunting, and adding significant recreational appeal. Additionally, federal leases may be obtained, allowing the buyer to utilize up to 2,800± acres, greatly expanding both the functional footprint and value of the property.
Located just minutes from Zapata, you’ll enjoy convenient access to restaurants, grocery stores, fuel, medical services, and other local amenities—making this an ideal headquarters or weekend getaway. The area is renowned for world-class bass fishing, trophy whitetail hunting, and a strong ranching heritage, drawing sportsmen and land investors from across the state and beyond.
Whether you’re seeking a legacy hunting ranch, a strategic land investment, or an expansive South Texas escape, this Zapata County property offers unmatched natural beauty, prime location, and tremendous potential.
