Interested? If you are, this
facility can be seen in Pecan Island, where Pecan Island High School stood.
The school has been closed since 2005 due to the storm surge of Hurricane Rita. Although the school did not flood, most of the homes in Pecan Island did. Many residents with children attending the Pecan Island school migrated north to Kaplan.
Back in 2012, the John brothers, Peter and David, from Crowley, purchased the school from the school board and transformed the facility into a hunting and fishing lodge. They called it, “The Pecan Island School Lodge.”
This is the second time since the John brothers purchased the old school that the facility is up for sale.
