Rare Investment Opportunity – Turnkey Safari Park in Robertson County, TX
Introducing Franklin Drive Thru Safari, a one-of-a-kind, fully operational wildlife park set on 240 acres with prime Highway 79 frontage. Ideally located just 45 minutes from College Station, 35 minutes from Lake Limestone, and a little over an hour from Waco, this property offers both strong accessibility and destination appeal.
This established business—operating successfully for over 10 years—is being offered completely turnkey, including over 100 species of native and exotic animals, all equipment, and extensive infrastructure already in place.
The property features a 5,000± sq ft main residence (built in 2020) with 5 bedrooms, multiple living areas, office, and an entertainment-ready game room. Outdoor amenities include a resort-style pool with slide, grotto, hot tub, and cabana with outdoor kitchen. Additional accommodations include a 3,200± sq ft guest house, seven rental cabins, and multiple staff residences—creating diverse income potential.
Improvements are extensive and purpose-built, including a gift shop, reptile house, bird enclosures, barns, shop, hay storage, and well-maintained roads across a high-fenced and cross-fenced ranch. The property is supported by three electric wells, five ponds, and a wet-weather creek.
With established revenue streams, multiple purchase options, and significant growth potential, this is an exceptionally rare chance to acquire a fully operational safari park and income-producing ranch in Central Texas.
