Located within Rancho Viejo sits an oasis all to itself. This impressive one hundred thirty-five plus /- acre waterfront estate encompasses an Ebony Tree Rainforest, Spanish style hacienda, horse stables, equestrian arena, pastures, and native habitat surrounded by a resaca. Resacas are bodies of water left from when the Rio Grande River changed riverbeds over the course of the last one hundred to ten thousand years. These bodies of water are unique to the Rio Grande Valley and home to many species of flora and fauna, from native Mesquite, Ebony and Palm trees to exceptional birds, fish, and butterflies.
