Quinton, OK 74552(Haskell County)

There is an older barndominium style home on the property that will be cleaned out prior to closing. In addition, various sheds, pieces of equipment and building supplies surround this structure and form the core of the old farmstead. There are plans to remove the equipment and supplies, as well.

This property has a long history with the family that goes back to the settlement of the area by their Choctaw ancestors. They overcame many challenges while farming the property over the decades and these challenges spurred some ingenious solutions. One example is the irrigation pond constructed on the side of the hill to capture and hold water until released via a gravity flow system to water cows during the summer months. Three other small ponds are located on the property and provide both water for wildlife, fishing and potentially water for future livestock. Lastly, the property is fenced and has an old hay barn.

The ranch is located near the corner intersection of Pittsburg and Haskill County. There are deer tracks visible as well as a hunting blind and feeder that lead us to believe that deer hunting would be decent and could likely be improved with some management. Likewise, the ranching aspect of the property could also be improved with some cross fencing. The barndominium appears structurally sound, has electricity and an operating heat and air system but will need some updating and work to make it habitable. We see it as a hunting cabin or maybe a place to stay while building a new house.

We are most excited about the possibility of building a new home on the property. There are two places that stand out to us. First, there is a secluded meadow near a small pond on the bench below the main peak. This area gives you a view of the forested hills to the south but hides any sight of man-made structures and would offer almost complete privacy. Here you could feel completely isolated. The second spot is at the peak above that yields the most expansive views of all the neighbors’ properties. If you wanted to make a statement, a beautiful new home built here would easily be seen from the valley below. Electricity is nearby at the barndominium and an old well is also located there. It is not currently operating but could be investigated and possibly equipped with a new pump to produce water again. If you have been looking for a secluded spot to escape the world, then call Kelly Hurt at 580 421 7512 to discuss or set up a showing.
