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.
