If you've ever wanted to own a zoo, this is your chance. A drive-thru safari in Texas just hit the market and yes, the animals are included!
The Franklin Drive Thru Safari in Robertson County is on the market, MySanAntonio reports, citing a listing from Texas Ranch Sale LLC's Keith Payne. "This is an extremely rare and unique opportunity to own an established and profitable drive thru safari and wildlife park that has been in business for over 10+ years. The property is as turnkey as they come with highway frontage, ample guest accommodations, all improvements already in place, and numerous native and exotic species," the listing states.
The drive-thru safari sits on 240 acres of land just 45 minutes from College Station. The sale includes a 5,000-square-foot main home that has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, two living areas, an office and a game room. There's also a pool, hot tub, bar and outdoor kitchen. Don't forget the 3,200-square-foot guest house with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The property also has seven two-bedroom, one-bathroom cabins that you can rent out to guests.
Let's talk animals. Bird houses, a reptile house, a hay barn, a deer and exotic barn and catch pens are also found throughout the property. There's over 100 species of animals that live here.
If you don't want everything, you can purchase just parts of the property. The listing states the following options:
- Purchase all 240+ acres
- Purchase just the drive-thru safari
- Purchase just the property in the back (includes main house)
