Very Serious Clubbing

 



A well known solutions provider commented on this shallow, barely read mind blog, "You need to build your own club. Maybe not in Texas Hill Country, but close enough. It would need to have at least a pistol range. I'd go and hang out. If you build it, they will come."

As a notorious clubman this got me thinking. What would such a place be like, like some hideous faux Tudor country club, complete with links, a 20k joining fee and JEB! sinking into a leather armchair? No, nothing Rat Claw Rubio like that. I replied:


A ranch house (extended), fires throughout, 12' ceilings (cooler) with wrap 'round porch. Trophy Room (smoking), Light Cav Bar, Living Room, Ante Room, Dining Room, Billiards/Pool Room and maybe a pool. And a Writing Room (laptops allowed). Food? Club special = Chicken Fried Steak, your choice of sides and Fried Pies for dessert. Or your choice of cut, Rib Eye, Strips etc, all from the club's herd. Farm to table you see, this club's sustainable.

Also:

A RANGE. Pistol, skeet and 100, 200, 500, 1000 yard

Ideally there'd be a river to fish too, but I know you can't have everything. Would there be old retainers? Well yes, of course.

 

In other words, a home from home and a real country club, you see. Would it have accommodation? Yes. Some members would stay year 'round. Would it be exclusive? Obviously, no libs allowed except for my pals. Expensive? Not necessarily, depends on who you are, for some it's free, thank you for your service. Would it be "fancy"? No, of course not. Think lodge. Recip rights? Oh yes, especially with the Savage. Women allowed? Accompanied by a gentleman.




Just some thoughts,  Must get a consortium together and explore this further, thanks LL for the initiative. Good call.

A couple of years ago I saw about dozen "ranches" in Texas on the market that darn near fit your description. Most were game or working cattle ranches with scaled up main houses and facilities. All were in the 4 to 20 million dollar range.

With all the folks fleeing the blue states and Covid, very few of those properties are on the open market.

Happy Thanksgiving LSP,
Your country club sounds great!

Jim said...

Sounds like a club I'd enjoy.

SgtBob said...

Given your description, even Mr. Marx (the G version, not the K) would have to amend his statement regarding a club that would have him as a member.

LSP said...

I know just the kind of place you're talking about, Chris. There'd have to be a powerful consortium to purchase.

And for sure, land's not getting cheaper.

LSP said...

I'd be glad to, CC.

LSP said...

Thanks, Anon. It'd be fun, will it happen? Yes, please.

LSP said...

Right on, Jim, and that's what it's all about.

LSP said...

It'd be like a real country club, Sgt., that's my thinking.

Old NFO said...

That has possibilities...

Wild, wild west said...

I'm in.

Presumably there will be a chapel, and some kind of secret handshake.

Infidel de Manahatta said...

But would it have shiplap? No good Texas home is without it.

the egyptian said...

May a northern Catholic join or attend if he happens to be in the area. Sounds fantastic and side benefit it'll make lib heads explode

LSP said...

It definitely does, NFO.

LSP said...

Good call on the chapel, Wild. Nice one.

LSP said...

Well yes, Infidel, I can see some shiplap in the mix.

Egyptian, you're always welcome!
