The DelRey Boat Ramp offers a rare waterfront opportunity in the heart of Rio Hondo — a gateway to some of the most exciting growth and recreation happening in the Rio Grande Valley. Located along FM 2925 with direct access to the Arroyo Colorado, this property is perfectly positioned for both locals and tourists who want effortless access to the water, fishing, boating, and all the natural beauty the area is known for. Just minutes downriver, boaters can reach the Intracoastal Waterway and the stunning shores of South Padre Island, one of Texas’ premier coastal destinations. From world-class fishing to dolphin tours, kayaking, sandbar weekends, and beach-day traffic, this ramp serves as the ideal launch point for everything SPI has to offer. The area is also experiencing massive exposure and long-term economic momentum thanks to SpaceX’s Starbase nearby. With ongoing rocket testing, launches, and a growing influx of engineers, contractors, tourists, and media, the region continues to attract national and international attention — driving both visitor traffic and demand for waterfront access points like this one. Adding even more value, the forthcoming South Padre Island Second Causeway project will significantly improve connectivity between the mainland and the island. This infrastructure upgrade is expected to reduce congestion, boost tourism, increase acreage values, and open the door for major commercial and recreational development throughout the entire corridor — including Rio Hondo and surrounding communities. With strong demand for water access, rising tourism numbers, and massive infrastructure investments shaping the region’s future, the DelRey Boat Ramp stands at the intersection of recreation, convenience, and explosive coastal growth. This is a unique chance to secure a piece of waterfront property in one of the RGV’s fastest-rising areas.
Opportunity awaits with this freestanding commercial property in the heart of Rio Hondo, most recently used as a daycare. The building offers a flexible layout with multiple open-use rooms, three restrooms (no showers), and several sink stations, including one near the main entrance and another in a room previously used for infant care. The kitchen includes two sinks and built-in cabinetry, making it well-suited for food prep or activities. Interior features include checkered flooring, wall-mounted shelving, and spacious multipurpose areas adaptable to a variety of commercial or institutional needs. A small fenced grassy area at the rear could be used for outdoor activities or expansion with improvement. In August 2025, the roof received a brand-new silicone coating with coverage up the parapet walls, a full-system update that includes a transferable 10-year warranty. While older and in need of cosmetic updates, this property offers excellent potential for the right buyer or investor.
Nestled amidst the serene backdrop of a prime fishing destination lies a quaint restaurant brimming with potential. While in need of some tender loving care, this hidden gem exudes rustic charm, offering a blank canvas for a visionary restaurateur. With its proximity to the renowned fishing spot, the restaurant presents a unique opportunity to cater to outdoor enthusiasts seeking sustenance after a day of reeling in the catch of a lifetime or catching a good morning's breakfast before they venture out for the day. Awaiting a discerning eye to restore its allure, this establishment stands as a promising venture waiting to be discovered.
