Property Description:   

This is Rancho Falcon, a unique 96.52-acre property located in southern Zapata County, Texas, just minutes from the famous Falcon Lake on the Texas/Mexico border.   This unique property has been owned and well maintained by the same family with deep roots in Zapata County for decades.  Before the family’s tenure, the property had been jointly owned by two families via an original land grant from the King of Spain in the 1700’s.  The ranch currently sits adjacent to the town of New Falcon, Texas, where the original town of Falcon was relocated after historic regional rains inundated the area at the junction of Medio Creek, the Rio Grande River, and Falcon Dam in 1953.

Base camp on Rancho Falcon is a 1,200-square-foot, 2-bed, 2-bath home with a combined living and kitchen area and a large, covered patio out back.  There is electricity on the property, and city water supplies the home and surrounding yard, which is cordoned off by a pipe fence and a cattle guard.  There is a water well on the north side of the ranch previously used for oil and gas development.

Thick native brush consisting of mesquite, blackbrush, cenizo, and prickly pear provides a dense wildlife habitat that is home to Rio Grande turkey, feral hogs, White-tailed deer, blue and bobwhite quail.  Nearby Falcon Lake currently sits at 25% capacity (31,000 surface acres), up from only 15% one year ago.  Falcon Lake is a world-renowned destination for avid anglers in pursuit of legendary largemouth bass.  

Rancho Falcon is the perfect foothold to hunt, fish, ranch, and relax in this quiet and historic corner of the Old West.
