Located in one of the most tightly held regions of South Texas, Rancho Zayas is a premier 503± acre high-fenced hunting and recreational ranch in Willacy County. Owned by the same estate for more than 30 years, the property offers exceptional wildlife habitat along with a rare combination of privacy, accessibility, and long-term ownership history. The ranch is heavily wooded with native South Texas brush supporting abundant populations of whitetail deer, nilgai, and other native game. A 4± acre artesian-fed lake near the center of the ranch, along with additional natural water features, attracts numerous migratory and native birds common to the region. Rancho Zayas features approximately 1.3 miles of frontage along County Road 2100 (Zinnia Road), a county-maintained caliche road, with four gated access points. The rectangular configuration allows for efficient ranch management and future improvements. The property is located approximately 11 miles east of Lyford, midway between Santa Monica and Willamar, less than 15 miles north of Harlingen International Airport, and under 20 miles from Port Mansfield. Harlingen is within a 20-minute drive. A North Alamo Water Supply Corporation line runs along the CR 2100 frontage and services a former hunting camp on the ranch. Electricity is on site, and an artesian well supplies water to the central lake. Improvements include a 20’ x 40’ shed and a 20’ x 25’ barn with concrete slab and cinder block walls. The ranch is fully enclosed by an 8-foot net-wire high fence. A transmission line runs north to south along the western boundary. Several oil and gas wells are located on the eastern portion of the property, with operator access limited to a designated entrance and road. Bordering the renowned 70,000± acre Pinnell Ranch, this property offers outstanding privacy and wildlife quality. Currently under agricultural tax exemption with very low holding costs.
