About Lopez Ranch Properties
A 5th-Generation South Texas Ranch
Lopez Ranch Properties is a family-owned and operated South Texas ranch with roots in historic Spanish land grant country. Now part of a 5th-generation family operation, the ranch continues to be used for cattle, hunting, family recreation, hospitality, and time spent on the land.
This is a working ranch, not a staged resort. Cattle work, wildlife, senderos, ponds, tanks, brush country, and family tradition are all part of the experience. Guests are invited into a private ranch setting where the focus is on good hunting, great food, comfortable lodging, and the kind of South Texas hospitality that makes a weekend memorable.
Located approximately one hour from Laredo between Zapata and Hebbronville, the property spans portions of Jim Hogg and Zapata County and offers access to 10,000± acres of South Texas terrain.

A True South Texas Setting
The property offers a true South Texas ranch setting with native brush country, cactus and prickly pear, winding senderos, open grazing strips, ponds, tanks, and diverse wildlife habitat. The landscape creates an authentic ranch experience filled with wide open skies, peaceful evening sunsets, natural wildlife movement, and the feeling of being deep in private South Texas ranch country.
Guests can enjoy the quiet atmosphere and natural beauty that make the ranch feel both peaceful and secluded.
The Ranch Experience
The ranch carries a rich family legacy rooted in South Texas history. Lauro Lopez Sr. (“Don Lauro”) was the first Lopez to run the land and played an important role in pioneering buffelgrass in the area. The family also began their cattle operation using Santa Gertrudis cattle from the King Ranch.
Beyond the hunting, guests can experience wildlife viewing, sunset watching, ranch photography, cattle and ranch experiences, and time relaxing at the lodge.
