LAND: 620 acres of deeded land currently used as a cow/calf operation. The owner reports this ranch will run 200 AUs plus furnish the winter supply for the herd. The land is about 80% river bottom (located within a 100 year flood plain) and as such consists of rich sandy-loam soils which are well suited to pasture, hay, fruit, berries, farm type crops and garden crops. Currently the land is all in pasture and hay for livestock. About 20% of the land is high ground upon which the buildings and improvements are presently located. This is where you would want to build a home and all utilities for building are available to the numerous sites that would be suitable for new home construction. The ranch is well fenced and cross fenced for rotation grazing. It is estimated that there is about 15 to 20 acres of timbered land which primarily will be along the Poteau River and along the two creeks than run through the ranch.
