Doc’s Drive-In, right outside the Austin, Texas area, has a retro feel that will make anyone feel nostalgic about the time when these theaters were wildly popular. And it’s now on the real estate market for $3.99 million.

Owners Chris and Sarah Denny opened the gates to Doc’s Drive-In Theatre in 2018,” the theater’s website says. “They took a chance on a shared dream and spent incredible time and effort perfecting the systems and layout that would provide unparalleled entertainment to audiences all over central Texas.

“Inspired by the drive-in movie theater experience at the height of drive-in popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, Chris and Sarah decided that, in the spirit of Austin’s free-thinking culture, they would upgrade their drive-in to include so much more.”
