New Dallas Maverick Klay Thompson should totally buy this golf ranch to be his new compound

Basketball star and noted golf enthusiast Klay Thompson just left the Golden State Warriors for a new contract with the Dallas Mavericks. Now that the four-time NBA champion (and part-owner of the TGL’s San Francisco franchise) is in the market for a new home, perhaps he should consider this $5.85 million compound half an hour south of nearby Fort Worth.

The Right Mix Ranch in Joshua, Texas, features a nine-hole par-30 golf course on its 24-acre spread along with a main house and four high-end guest cabins that would be perfect for a visiting golf pro, physical therapist, social media manager or agent. The main home might be small by sports-hero standards at 1,750 square feet, but being able to shunt guests to their own buildings provides plenty of elbow room. Plus, the course uses a criss-cross pattern of two synthetic tees and six synthetic greens, leaving plenty of acreage to build a mega-mansion if required.

The entire property is irrigated by its own well, which feeds a large pond stocked with trophy bass and catfish. There’s even a fully built-out RV pad and water storage tanks for when roaming relatives stop by on a cross-country jaunt.

The best part? Thompson paid close to the ranch’s asking price in California state income tax on his $40 million salary from the Warriors last year alone. He won’t pay anything to Texas during his new three-year, $50-million deal. There’s a reason players like Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed live in the Dallas metroplex, and it’s not just the Filete Cantinflas at Javier’s.
