Foothills Of The Wichitas

Full sections of land all under one fence are getting harder and harder to come by. Couple that with this property's location at the foothills of the truly awesome Wichita Mountains and the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge and what you have is a rare gem! Land in this area is highly desired but rarely available. This particular 640 acres m/l is made up of an ideal mixture of open native grassland for livestock grazing and thick mesquite flats and creek timber bottoms provided by East Otter Creek, which runs east and west through the center of the property. These mesquite flats and thick creek bottoms provide excellent bedding and staging habitat for the variety of Western Oklahoma wildlife that call this land home. Most notable of those wildlife species that are regularly encountered on this property are deer, wild hogs, quail and even elk! Yes, elk! While it's not uncommon to see elk passing through this property, their numbers and frequency aren't what they could be with some basic habitat manipulation and management. This property has the potential to be a real elk and big buck producer on a year in and year out basis. Some basic habitat management would also greatly benefit all the other wildlife species as well, including the quail which are already in better numbers here than in most places you'll find. Good county maintained roads outline three sides of this property and rural water lines run along two of those roads which makes it easy and convenient to assist the many ponds that are scattered throughout the property, providing water to the livestock and wildlife. Two of those aforementioned ponds are spring fed and, although they may get low in dry years, they are not remembered to have ever gone dry. The property has good fences and gates and allows easy access from any side except the north. A good set of cattle working pens and tin barn are located in the southeast quarter of the section as well. I could go on and on about this 640 acres m/l but to truly appreciate it you just have to get your boots on the ground and experience it for yourself. If you're wanting to start your own cattle operation or add to your already established operation this place is ideal. If you're looking for that piece of ground that has all the wildlife species that western Oklahoma has to offer all under one fence this place is it. If you're looking for that special piece of land with those hard to get, up close views of the Wichita Mountains to build your dream home on, this place is it. If you want a place where you can get all of the above mentioned opportunities all in one package to experience all at the same time, then this place is it! Opportunities like this don't come around very often, especially since the mineral rights on this property may also be up for negotiation! With land being the single most gratifying, rewarding and stable investment one can make, you won't regret it.
