Additional opportunities in addition to commercial development of the highway frontage include development of the interior areas as a Wildlife Photography Resort Destination with an international appeal which is its current use. La Lomita has been described as a Heritage Property by a USFW biologist. La Lomita is a remnant of the Tamalupian Plains commonly known as the South Texas Brush Country and is now surrounded by developed farmland. South Texas is one of the most diverse ecological habitats in the continental US and hosts a large population of local birds and is used extensively by migrating birds. The ranch is located only one mile from the city limits of Uvalde and within 5 minutes from restaurants, lodging and shopping. The hilltop in the middle of the property would provide an outstanding site for a hospitality facility with a 360 degree view of the surrounding area.
A 2011 study by Texas A&M University concluded that nature tourism dominated by bird watching brings in over $300 million a year to the Rio Grande Valley economy alone. in a 2006 study by TPWD the impact of Wildlife watching in Texas was $5.12 Billion Dollars and created over 43,000 jobs. Since that study, this industry has grown exponentially. La Lomita is currently considered one of the finest Wildlife Photography Ranches in Texas and has a national and international reputation.
The City of Uvalde has put in very significant utilities including sewer water and gas along both sides of Hwy 90 west and is committed to making the west side its new growth corridor. The new 250,000 sq. foot covered arena and separate convention center (Uvalde County Fairplex) is located across Hwy 90 from the ranch creating a need for restaurants, hotels and fuel sales locations. The closest truck stop is more than 70 miles away to the east or west of the location of the signaled hard corner of Hwy 90 and Dunbar.
