Outstanding South Texas ranch for lease.  La Mota Ranch is a 2,587-acre high-fenced ranch in Zapata County about 30 miles south of Hebbronville off of Highway 16. La Mota has been in the TPWD MLD program since 2008 and has had a deer breeding program using 2 DMP pens, including imported bucks.  Protein from large bulk silos is currently being fed from 10 protein feeders.  There are 4 deer blinds on the ranch. The Ranch maintains a native‑only wildlife population – no exotics.

First-class facilities include a modern, well-appointed 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom lodge that is ideal for enjoying the ranch and entertaining.  There is also a lovely 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house on the ranch.  Both homes, as well as the game processing area, have city water.

The Ranch has not been over‑hunted, as the previous lessee only recently chose not to renew. The lease includes year-round access. The Ranch is well‑suited for up to five hunters and offers outstanding hunting for deer, dove, and quail, as well as duck hunting and fishing on a large lake.  It is perfect for hosting friends and clients.

If you are looking for a premier brush‑country trophy deer lease with exceptional hunting and first‑class facilities, La Mota Ranch could be the ideal fit.  A long-term lease can be accommodated.  The $90,000 annual lease fee includes utilities, and a fulltime ranch hand for filling feeders and ranch upkeep.
