El Rayo Ranch
124 acres – Jim Wells County
Conveniently located just 5 miles south of Alice and 1 mile north of Ben Bolt, Rayo Ranch offers 124 acres of versatile South Texas land with a prime location and exceptional potential. With 663 feet of frontage on Highway 281 and 1,556 feet along County Road 48, this property combines accessibility, productivity, and recreational appeal.
Approximately 50 acres of mature native brush provide excellent cover for wildlife, while the remaining acreage is productive farmland, currently planted in sesame. The fine sandy loam soils are well-suited for a variety of crops or improved pasture.
