whew! I thought maybe you talking about the remainder of the Box mansion from the miniseries... is the facade of that still standing? It was for a while anyway after the fire.
edit: looks like it's still there

I always wonder how that ranch makes any money, it can't be a massive tourist attraction now. I have this image of two elderly workers who spend their days playing dominoes waiting for someone to show up.
I hope it manages to continue going for a long time yet. If I become a billionaire, then I think I might buy it and move in.

Really? I heard the opposite. It keeps afloat through weddings and events, just about.

That's probably mostly it.

I'm sure less it's a case of if but when. That land is probably really sought after, whatever it eventually becomes will probably have Southfork in it's title. Maybe we can all retire in Southfork Heights.

Well they did film a TV series on the property back in the late 70's, 1980's. I gather it was fairly popular. Can't for the life of me remember what it was called though!

Sad though.
Almost as sad when Starfleet Command decommissioned the USS Enterprise NCC 1701A in The Undiscovered Country.

I remember it well - it was a period piece set in the early fifties telling the saga of rival ranch foremen Hutchinson McKinney and Billy Joe Starsky, called Starsky and HutchWell they did film a TV series on the property back in the late 70's, 1980's.

Especially in these times with Covid. I suspect while Southfork Ranch does quite well with weddings and corporate events I suspect most of those visiting the house are overseas tourists. I really wish the current owners would demolish and remodel the downstairs to reflect what we saw on television.

The Ranch posts daily updates of visitors and fans of the day. Let’s keep a bit more positive about its future.

I was watching an interview with Jordana Brewster who said she was excited as she was in Lucy's bedroom, talking in terms of it being the same interior as in the original show.
Well they are not going to post. "Nobody came today, someone came to gate but was looking for a toilet"
It's PR. All businesses have struggled, and there is a lot of interest in acquiring land in that area. So it's perfectly fine to be realistic. Nobody is wishing it gone.
