Matt, speaking for every pilot out there, if you would carve a 2,500x75ft swatch of land in this property like what you did for your shooting range and turn it into Desperado Airstrip, you would have pilots coming from ALL OVER the state and beyond to come stay at this place. There is a surprising lack of setups like that in central Texas.
And then he can do fun Heli/plane videos sometimes lol
helicopter landing pad would be cool!
This is a great idea.
Bro he don't just want it for some random to turn up in a plane or chopper when they liked, coz that would happen if he had a landing strip hahah 😂
This is a great idea.
This series really shows the importance of a good-quality roof
I was thinking the same thing!
It really does, doesn’t it?
I concur
Holy shit I was literally thinking the same thing.
It really does
That building you want to use as office's and employees that is what it was exactly what is was. The burnt out building the terrace that has the 5 steps and is 2 levels I built that terrace. The little rock walls around the perimeter of that terrace and separate the 2 levels and also around the a/c unites. That rock used I harvested that rock from a spot on the ranch. You should also know that the entire ranch is on a commercial septic system that is down the hill from river view. There are sprinkler heads down in the bottom by the river that will come on when the pump tank gets full. You should take caution when driving down there as you do not want to damage those sprinkler heads because you will need that commercial septic system once you get the ranch uup and running. FYI I am the person that installed that septic system and almost all building's on the ranch are on that septic system.
You need to call Ed the Pond Professor from Aquascape. He can come turn your pond into an amazing clear swimming pond with fish. They have some amazingly creative water feature contractors that could transform your property.
Hey matt, on some of the woody sections. You should do some RV related stay rentals. You can do daily, weekly, and monthly stay. That can offset your monthly costs of the property. You can set up water, electric, internet, and laundry rooms. Just a thought
I would appreciate if you did stuff for handicap people or people to have different kinds of medical problems, but still enjoy doing things. Like activities, and easy ways to get from one place to another.
Awesome idea!
Great idea !
Or even just a campground section with picnic tables and power supply
SHOWERS AND LAUNDRY.
This property looks like a lifetime project. I respect the commitment and looking forward to see it improve over the years.
Not if you hire professionals to build and landscape
@@HBC423 The cost to do it quickly would be staggering.
Is it really in a vacation area though? The town near it seems kinda rough and it’s hard to get to.
Matt seems to be a solid business manager and good at delegating things so I'm sure he'll be fine. His enthusiasm is rather infectious which probably helps and is the main reason I watch him.
@@MichaelCurley-il6smyou just described 98% of Texas my guy
Hey Matt! You should reach out to your local fire department to see if they want to use any of the buildings you’re going to bulldoze as acquired structures. It’s a great training opportunity! I know up North this is pretty common but I’m sure those brothers would love it!
Good idea
He may want them gone before Texas gets rain. Way too much danger of wildfire to burn a structure.
But super awesome idea.
I love the idea of little cabins in the woods so couples or groups of friends can have privacy.
Matt has already done so much work out there. 20 years ago I got to eat and ride horses there and it was a cool place. Glad to see it come back to life with a good owner.
Lots has changed in 20 years though, mainly insurance..... Insurance will stop any horse riding and fun.
@@AMLagondaWaivers :) but we'll see
@@AMLagondafunsponge
Do you have any pictures of the big lodge before the fire? I couldn't find any online, except for one shot with the fountain.
Also, in the late 90's the law forced wheelchair accessible in recreational destination vacation businesses.
Comply or be shut down!
This project seems so overwhelming. You can tell how beautiful it once was. I’m buckled in for the ride.
The pond definitely needs a bubbler or fountain ran through a filter system to keep the pond from stagnating or breeding mosquitoes.
Most Definitely!!!! 🙂👍
or gold fish that become large carp to catch....
Yes to solar water fountain for oxygenation, mosquito management (with ‘mosquito bites’) and proper fish to mitigate algae and naturally balance ecosystem.
Matt is really living a dream. From renovating a mansion to a resort! What’s next, your own town??! I see the vision bro keep doing what u doing it’s incredible!
He’ll probably be bringing back one on Route 66….
Hey Matt, hot take here Disc Golf is a growing sport and there is an established professional scene. This would be a great area to possibly make a world class course or courses. An elite tournament can consist of multiple rounds of 18 holes. with this much land you could make for a killer weekend tournament. With places to stay on the resort they wouldn't have to travel to hotels or air bnb places to stay.
Lmao yea that's a terrible take
Disc golf 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Disc golf is Great! Loads of possibilities, modern day putt-putt with the right design.
You could really do a lot with a disc golf course out there. I bet there would be some people who come just to play.
You could even partner with Lone Star Discs for some of it. They are just over in Conroe, TX
There’s already baskets out there too
There are DJI compatible apps that will allow you to create orthomosaic/topographic maps of large areas of land. Drone Deploy is a good option that allows you to choose resolution, shows flight paths, and battery swap estimates.
The Boondock Saints homage was great. 👍🏼
I doubt he even knows what an orthomosaic map is... I certainly don't 😂
His project would be over the scale limit for the free version. He'd need to get a license and for a single project it likely isn't worth it unless he's really interested in getting a map laid out.
Not with the drone he is using. You need a RTK to make a decent orthomosaic. And the amount of pictures that would have to be taken would be astronomical. Lol You would have to buy a full program, which is megabucks, and have one hell of a computer.
Web ODM could process it if the computer had enough memory in it.
Great video, thanks Matt. This looks great!
Het Matt, I think the idea of making one big house for multiple couples/families to rent together is a great idea. I know many people do this with AirBnB already.
my brother and I rented a condo air bnb last year in Moab Utah. It was awesome! Do the same at the resort.
Group rentals sound like a wonderful idea, the only way our family really goes on vacation is with other people, and having all the rooms connect sounds super fun!
Should have the doors like hotels do sometimes locked on either side so if you are staying with friends family you can open it but they can still be used as multiple rentals at times
Demo, Cleetus, Atwood, and Sparks has already proven to be the best combo of youtubers/families to date. Would 10/10 enjoy seeing them together again soon.
I'm assuming you're talking about heavy D sparks and if you are I'd rather him not be anywhere near those other guys videos😂😂
@@sealions__9286yeah same
Dont forget goonzquad ,those dudes have done some crazy stuff in a year or so !
@@sealions__9286 why not
@@dj_1717bc heavy D likes hanging out with Jake Paul
OMG the Boondock Saints bit was just genius. I yelled "AND THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!" right along with you. Love seeing your updates on the resort, sorry about your chickens.
What an amazing place! Can't wait to see what you guys do design-wise with these buildings. Smart about keeping the two existing pools. I think people will appreciate that you've kept some of the vintage relics of the place.
I think the best part about this is yet to be mentioned in video or comment section. Yes this resort is massive, yes it’s going to be a lifelong project. But guys… you’re forgetting about the children that are going to take over. Matt, I speak from the very depths of my heart when I say you are the best father I’ve ever seen. My dad wasn’t Great to anyone, and having you’re fatherly instincts. Fatherly knowledge sharing lol, just everything you do I really want to take a moment and say thank you for all that you do.
Matt “it was operating as a resort, a successful one!” Also Matt “Finds paper saying they lost millions a year”
It may was successful, but I think in the last year's they had issues in getting events and guests.
Itd really be a full circle moment if Joey was watching right now and dying of laughter 😂
Joey, fresh out of rehab, returns to right his wrongs and become the head of maintenance.
The pond looks great Matt. Was excited to see the progress. This place looks more and more amazing every single time.
I fell over laughing at the Boondocks Saints reference! That was awesome. You really got your hands full, but I can totally see what it is to become. And for all the demo and building you have to do, I think you got a good start. I'd say a good deal but I don't know the $ your into. I'm super excited to see it transform and my boys and I have always watched both your channels. But my parents, specially mom, love renovation shows and I got them all in on watching. So bring on the bling and window dressing, you've got 3 generations geared up to go through it along with you. Thanks for all your energy and everything you put out into the world. So rare these days and the world needs more.
Matt always giving us the perfect mix of practicality and comedy
Frickin Joey...
Thanks, Joey!
Just a thought. If the stonework doesn’t work out on the main building; turn the rock into a wicked floor. It’s still the foundation and a pretty cool momento too
Joey seems like a cool dude. hopefully we get to meet him in the future.
Matt's content really improved in quality after doing CZcams for 13 years, respect
He really has, it's been a awesome ride watching him grow into the CZcamsr he is today. I remember the day he hit 1 mil subs on offtheranch
waltuh
13 years? Yeah! It's about time he improved. 🤣🤣🤣
Oooo the old Walter white bot that we see all over the youtubes. If the channel I'm watching doesn't have a comment from this guy I know it's super obscure. 😅
PopCorners 💪🏼
Let's all give a moment of appreciation for Joey.
im so waiting for joey to come to the comments....LOL
Joey apparently loves destroying things and peckers.
Yeah, I was wondering if he watches this and is still proud of his achievements.
Joey, do you like movies about gladiators? 🤭
What a beautiful place. You do such an amazing job telling your viewers the details of what's in your mind. Keeping everyone interested into what's coming next. CANT WAIT TO SEE THE FINAL OUTCOME!!!!!! My husband and I enjoy watching your shows togther. I'm not much of a TV person but your ideas are inspiring and we look forward to sharing tv being inspired by your dreams. Oh did I mention...... can't wait to see the final results.
Hi Matt, I love watching the videos about your resort. I am from Germany and I work in the building industry as a building physicist. I am shocked about the quality of the buildings😂. Good luck and keep up the good work. Best wishes from Germany
The project looks more organized with each video and this is promising to be another epic series. Thank you for having the courage to undertake what would surely overwhelm many other creators, and for providing this form of entertainment. By the way, dragonflies are an indicator of a healthy environment, and the pond is an important contributor to this.
Dude, you should make bandanna maps of the Desperado Resort and sell them on Bunker Branding. Then at different stages, release an updated versions of the bandanna map. That way the people who have followed along from the beginning can have something that shows the progression.
Lmaoooo wtf is everyone on today
Every winter, my wife's family rents houses that have to hold up to 40 people. It's my MIL and her 2 sister's whole families, I think 8 families all in one house...something like this would be perfect for other families that do similar things. I hope I can convince them to come stay one year once you guys are up and running!
I think you should name the truck something like Tony. Like go get Tony to take the trailer up to the job site. You know Tony always makes it to work but then he just sits there all day!!! 😂
Enjoying the process of getting this cool property back into shape.
Thanks for taking us along on this project, Matt. That stones still standing burned out building IS epic, and is going to be even more epic. It'll be like a unique trademark for the whole resort. Your joie de vivre is contagious.
Im a long haul trucker and when i go through Bourne i get a smile on my face when i see Bunker Branding. Matt's videos are a fixture in my home. When i get home, My daughter and I chill out and binge watch all of the offtheranch.
This is going to be amazing! I think that it's great that Mere stands behind you in all of your endeavors, no matter how crazy they seem or how much work is involved to make your dreams come true. FWIW, I own a landscaping and irrigation company in Houston and would love to come help out with the beautification outside of the event center or one of the other buildings. Just let me know.
For your rifle range 2 suggestions. 1) slug plates with flashers. maybe they are not called slug plates but for our 3 gun comps we put these really large rectangle steel plates out to 200 and 500 yards. With the flasher, every time you hit it, the flasher flashes. Very helpful to spot hits. #2) have rifle targets at least to 1000 yards. More if you can. why not? and with super far targets have a camera with a feed available to the shooter. 1st class!
Matt helps me see all of the potential of this beautiful place! I think every resort should have a multi-family place to book. I know lots of families that vacation together and rent entire houses bc it is more cost effective than hotels or separate lodging.
I've been a casual viewer of this channel for years but this series has me watching every video. A great opportunity to watch the development of a very interesting project.
Two ideas.
With the size of the property it would be awesome to have a golf cart rental or have it included with the room rental.
If you do a group building it would be good for weddings. You can use the group house for bridesmaids or whatever. Might want that in close proximity to the hall
The hall that he bulldozed the sides of, in the video he did om that, there is an upstairs mini-room that's good for like Brides and stuff to get ready, right above the main ball room
yeah im no expert but im thinkin just the stay per night here is gonna puuuuuush 500 pluss, so carts fur shur on that note i concur, by all means charge less LOL
@@radgrandhe should definitely have carts included less wear around the property
I could see lots of corporate training and team building events happening there, as well as family reunions, weddings etc. It's an amazing property!
Best episode yet! Great to see you actually read the comments and listen to us viewers. This place will be great.
Its such a magical place despite the neglect. Love the burnt stone mansion it reminds me of the many abandoned castles in Scotland. Lots of them have had simple wooden stairways, bridges and platforms built through them so you get a feel for the original layout, open plan. Wicked job on the pond so good to see the wildlife enjoying it. Well done guys and thanks for sharing this epic adventure!
You’re getting a lot of work done behind the scenes. These abandoned projects are why I subbed to this channel. I sub to other D Ranch channels for their intended purposes as well. Stay strong and diligent and pray a lot. It’ll be fine.
Joey a real man of culture. Respect
I can't wait to see what this Resort looks like in 3, 4 years. I'm sure preliminary layout will be way done by then, and then once it is actually open, I plan on visiting... as long as "Joey" doesn't draw on the walls anymore. 😂
Thank you, Matt. Definitely helps us get the lay of the land. You've got yourself quite a project. But, one thing at a time! We'll be watching y'all for years! Yippie!
Also, love the Boondock Saints reference!
My family has a family reunion every 3 years with 50-80 people and we always go to these resort style areas and rent a bunch of cabins for each family. I am for sure making sure that we have it at Desperado once Matt gets this place up and going and has all of the cabins cleaned up.
And having one that you can rent out for 3-4 groups would be great lol
Always knew it would all make sense eventually, but this was a great way of making it all make sense before it’s done. Video’s well done! 👍
The pond looks great Matt. Was excited to see the progress
The gun range will be a unique facility to have at a resort. You might want to consider installing a combination trap/skeet layout. I think you would find it well used and enjoyed by guests.
My days get better every time you post a video. 34 minutes of smiling. Thank you Matt
As to the multiple family setup, maybe make it so the interleading doors can be locked if only one or two families arrive together. Holding all those units waiting for 4 or 5 families sounds like a waste of resources.
Perhaps in the future, the resort could be host to some serious BBQ competitions from chefs all across the south! Sure to be a venue that would easily sell out all available cabins/rooms/etc! ♥
You and your family ROCK BUD!
This video was definetely needed. Now that I've seen the birds eye view and the plan from Matt, I am really excited to see the work over the next few years. If you ever need any help with piping or valves let me know. Kinda my thing.
You should leave some of the ruins as they are, and plant some gardens around them. This could be a FABULOUS spot for wedding photography!!
Thanks Joey! 🥲😂
Here’s an idea , when you get the resort up and running ask if Mary’s taco’s would like to open up a second store on your property 😁
Be wary of the still standing stonework. I’m sure that you will have to have a lot of inspections done before you really start having guests and whatnot in, but just be aware that the fire may have done unforeseen damage to the stone walls or more precisely to the mortar holding them up. Standard mortar is not all that resistant to heat and while it all may still be standing the mortar may have lost a lot of its strength and it may not take much to bring it down. Just a precautionary thing, I would have it thoroughly checked before working in the area too much.
Exactly. Fires burn very, very hot seriously weakening even stone.
It’s so inspiring to see how far you’ve come. Used to watch every one of your videos but life and health get in the way and you forget. Last I heard a resort was only a plan on a whiteboard. Congrats
There was a semi-abandoned resort near my hometown when i was a kid called White Cypress Lakes. Apparently, they not only built a resort, they also sold lots for homes and when they didn't actually have a clear title to the property. I used to go out there exploring the weird buildings and hunted turkey. I have heard it was redeveloped as a subdivision for boomers fleeing urban decay.
Every time I see a drone shot of the tall stone ruins -
(the burned down building)
I envision it as a fantastic setting for an outdoor restaurant.
Tables set in the center of all those stone walls,
in my imagination,
it looks like it would be fantastic to be sitting inside at sunset!
With lots of candle lit type lighting, of coarse.
And obviously,
call the restaurant:
"The Ruins".
I've see this idea done before on an old stone building. Build a new steel building on the inside of the stone walls, using the stone as aesthetics only. So new steel structure with stone aesthetic. Tuckpoint and repair the stone as needed for stability. Check out the Lora hotel in Stillwater, MN as an example, old brewery turned into a luxury hotel.
Having a gift shop seems like a no-brainer. You could sell desperado shirts, cool cowboy hats, laser engraved pocket knives, laser cut steel horns with the desperado logo, 50 cal BMGs, the standard gift shop items.
Amazing series.
We will all have the most amazing content for the next 10 years.
Can't wait!
A new RV park with hookups would be ideal in one of the closer wooded areas with 50 To 100 rv spaces spread out and you could put the new pool there with a clubhouse for longer term visitors that could stay up to 90 days at a time. Think about the no upkeep on cabins for 50-100 rentals. Coin laundry facility. Clubhouse and pool. $50 a nite $300 week or $1000 a month it would more than cover your mortgage and expenses on its own. Also it a fast development with minimal contractors and design.
great points here
Having both individual and group cabins is going to make your Resort even more awesome.
I am very sorry you lost your chickens, but at least some of the feeders get to be recycled. The pond is looking cool as hell, maybe a paddle boat or 2 for the children - I always wanted to put one of those two stroke bicycle engine kit things on one so you could be lazy and ride around easily.
Either way, your Resort is looking like it is progressing very nicely and faster than I had imagined it would. Congratulations on that!. Yeah I'm a nobody, but it is still fun to watch your videos.
You’re welcome Matt. It’s me Joey!!!!
The boondocks saints reference just confirms why Matt is the best and why I keep coming back to watch his videos!!
matt has unleashed on twitter lately. Too cool to see him post more.
it's because instagram restricted his account
X formerly known as Twitter.
What is his X name ???
@@bigwillysgarage2301 X is the new name that replaced Twitter.
Very cool to see the whole layout. Now you just need to make an actual detailed map with contour lines! As I am originally from San Antonio, I decided to try to find it on google maps. I just started at 281 and followed the Guadalupe west till I found it. And low and behold, google maps already has it listed under its new names! That was quick! Hope I get to visit there someday!
Thank you for letting us know the name has been changed. Last time I checked, a couple months ago it hadn't yet.
All of the little skits in this were amazing. One of my favorite videos in the series so far!
“Thanks Joey” should be a shirt 😂
I’m sure someone has suggested this already but you could do some circular clearings in the trees for group tent camping sites around a fire pit or something. Super pumped to see all the progress !
Really enjoying the progress on the ranch. RV hookups would be a sweet addition, water and power. Would be a great option for travelers.
Gun range, hiking trails through multiple valleys, huge resort, huge chunk of river, camping? Hotels?
This place is gonna be worth a visit for sure
Love the message about everyday. Life is a marathon not a race. I can't wait to take the family to y'all's Resort. Great work keep it up.
I think making that one building a group rental is a great idea. Parents and their married kids with families could rent it out together. That way they'd be together, but still have their own private spot to go to.
I think you know by now how amazing this will be...but you and your family are the amazing part ...thanks for sharing your life with us 😊
I would love for him to succeed and see his dreams through, but this looks like a nightmare. Imagine the millions of dollars and years it will take to make this ranch operational. Wishing you all the success! Matt and company
can do it.
Part of the point is giving him years worth of CZcams content to fund the effort
Y’all should do ATV trails. And I would totally rent out the building with my family if there is a center living quarters for everyone to come together in.
This project is huge. You’re are in need of a major crew to build this out.
Keep the 4 unit building as a 4 unit building. Reno costs will be cheaper to keep the same layouts but update what needs fixing.
Also, you will limit the time it is fully booked if it has just one purpose.
You could offer discounts on duplex and have shared gardens for each side. Private balcony per room.
Imo its better/cheaper to build a purpose built building for groups than make that fit.
I am excited to see what all you can do to this resort that you can only do solely because it is tied to you. Like how much stuff people will put up with or enjoy solely because its yours. I imagine there is a lot you can do with the place solely because its not owned by a random company or stranger. Hopefully I can afford to come out for a vacation one day.
I absolutely cannot wait to visit this place with my family and future kids! Matt you’ve done so much work already and I’m so excited to see how it turns out!!!
There definitely needs to be an after video to show the progress matt. This is so awesome, and I'm so excited for you, man. I know you can finish this resort.
Once upon a time, it was rather nice. I went to a wedding and the wedding reception back in 1988. I'm sure the hilltop veiws are still epic. I need to ask my parents if they remember who's wedding it was because I was 13 and stole some wine coolers and I don't remember 😂
That mirrored building is good for multiple families as you mentioned, it's the first thing I thought of when I saw it. I have a big family and we used to rent multiple cabins on resorts for everyone. A building like that would be perfect.
Your “burnt down building” idea is definitely a winner 🤓❤️👍 and the group house is a great idea!
Might seem a little silly, but with so much land available, I think an activity area for family/kids would be great. A small Miniature Golf course, a piece of lawn large enough for soccer or even Croquet. Basketball court, maybe a small area for skateboarding. Have some Picnic tables set up nearby. I see so much possibility. One thing Matt hasn't spoken about (or I have not heard) is how many jobs he's going to be providing by opening The Desperado. Hospitality Services, Restaurant Services, Maintenance and Landscaping. I like how Matt "Dreams". Dream big or stay home! I am so looking forward to the day The Desperado is officially open for business.
Thanks for all the hard work you do for our entertainment!
I think a big group home would be awesome. Put in a living room and small kitchen. I love the idea of an outdoor space with firepit. ❤
Family reunion, with a near by building having a multi activity room and kitchen access. Totally enjoy your channel!!
What an undertaking, I will be following your progress for the next 10 years I am sure.
Thanks, Matt that was exactly what I needed. Hopefully I won't get so disoriented now!
I’m going to make my first child there, and in 18 years I’m going to bring it back a go into great detail of how they were conceived.
I can't wait to see this all come together proper, Matt. This is gonna be really cool
