Mike, That is a good property you have for sale.  My wife and I built the Dinosaur Trail Cabins so we know the property.  We sold the Dinosaur Trail Cabins in 2004 when we moved to Kerrville.

Thanks, I think so.  You and I had spoken on a couple of occassions about your property several years ago. 

I sold the house and 1/2 acre last February.  I was keeping the land for a (near) zero energy townhome development, with the homes sitting on the ridge overlooking the lake, marina and other properties.  The view up there is great. 

I had thought about approaching the Brazos River Authority to allow me to tunnel under the Scenic View Road and connect my "pond" to the lake and provide a private boat dock.  Way too much cost to do that, although it would be awesome.

Then put up a private gated entry off of Scenic View Ct. and a privacy wall around the property.  It would be an absolutely incredible private residence.  Of course, all the things I'd like to do would run about $3-4MM. 

The townhomes would be a lot less.  I may still do it, I'm wading through paperwork for permitting, etc.  It is in the Water Quality District, so to do anything over two homes on that property requires approval/review.

How's the folk music festivals down your way?  I hear they are great.

Nice to hear from you.

Surprised you are not asking more for it.  Great Property.  My grandparents lived in Granbury and Cleburne and I used to be in FWorth.  I just got a listing referral in Lubbock from a Granbury broker.  I'll keep this property in mind.  Please keep us in mind with your clients coming to or leaving Lubbock. Thanks!

As townhome sites, its worth about $200-240K.  As is, w/o platting about $120K.  If I get a winning bid, then great.  If not, no problem.

Mike, Good to hear back from you, yes we did talk real estate a few years ago.  The music festivals are still going and growing strong.  People come from all over the world for the big one.  We miss Granbury but love it down here.
