Southfork Ranch is a conference and event center in Parker, Texas, in
the United States, about 25 mi (40 km) north of Dallas. The ranch
includes the Ewing Mansion, which was the setting for both Dallas
television series: the original, which first aired on CBS from 1978 to
1991 (except for the first five episodes which were at Cloyce Box
Ranch), and its continuation, first aired on TNT from 2012 to 2014.The
house was built in 1970 by Joe Duncan and was known as Duncan Acres,
named after his family.[clarification needed] The property was
originally 200 acres (0.81 km2) in size. The "mansion" at Southfork
Ranch is a 5,900 sq ft (550 m2) house with a 957 sq ft (88.9 m2)
enclosed garage that was turned into a den/card room.The ranch appears
in the television series Dallas. Exterior shots were filmed on
location from 1979 until 1989, though Lorimar Productions also made a
studio mock-up of the ranch's exterior (complete with swimming pool)
in California in 1979 for use when the weather made it impractical to
film on location in Texas. From 1989 the series' production shifted
entirely to the California studio set. The reunion movies J.R. Returns
(1996) and War of the Ewings (1998) returned to the ranch, as did the
non-fiction special The Return to Southfork (2004). War of the Ewings,
in 1998, was the only time filming was done inside the real ranch for
dramatic purposes. Southfork was again used for the new Dallas
series.In 1993â€"94 the ranch was featured in the Little Texas music
video "God Blessed Texas". Southfork Ranch Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
