Good morning friends.
One of my clients has a ranch in Bosque County. He's a big dog in Dallas (I'm not mentioning names). The place is just under under 6,000 acres.
He's a unique guy. He's spent considerable resources managing the land and wildlife with great care and attention -- even receiving a Lone Star Land Stewards award for restoring the native prairie grasses. When I last met him there I found him at the house where he had just finished working cattle. Not watching some hand do it -- working cattle himself. Not exactly what you expect on the typical Texas "vanity" ranch.
The main lodge (historic) is really spectacular and can accomodate 5 families in individual "casitas" all attached to the house. Swimming pool, barbeque pits. You get the picture. The ranch also has two Bosque County historical sites on it -- one a New England-style barn which was built in 1896 and which he fully restored from the stacked-rock foundation up. The view from the cupola (complete with outside viewing platform on all four sides) is stunning. Miles and miles of Texas.
It's a really incredible place. He entertains guests and business associates from all over the world there. He thinks its perfect.
I guess Lone Star Transmission (Florida Power and Light but with the power to condemn private property in Texas) thought it needed something . . .
. . . so they shoved a 345,000 volt electric transmission line right through the middle of it.
