A Combination Ranch as Tight as Its Fences
A combination ranch as tight as its fences. This Stephens County spectacle finds a way to offer continued appreciation and awe for the land at every twist and turn. Featuring a gravel driveway just shy of a mile long, one will find their way winding past a two-acre, spring-fed pond - the first of 16 ponds located on the property. The majority of the ranch's improvements are centrally located and can be accessed just off the side of the main drive, including a 60'x90' three-sided hay barn with a gravel floor, a 24'x60' three-sided equipment barn, and the cattle working corrals. Numerous cross-fences have been implemented to add ease and efficiency within the ranch, and the roughly 430 +/- acres of improved Worldfeeder Bermuda, B Dahl Bluestem, and Midland 99 Bermuda grasses are complementary to the production potential for those inclined towards an agricultural venture. 43 +/- acres of cu...
A combination ranch as tight as its fences. This Stephens County spectacle finds a way to offer continued appreciation and awe for the land at every twist and turn. Featuring a gravel driveway just shy of a mile long, one will find their way winding past a two-acre, spring-fed pond - the first of 16 ponds located on the property. The majority of the ranch's improvements are centrally located and can be accessed just off the side of the main drive, including a 60'x90' three-sided hay barn with a gravel floor, a 24'x60' three-sided equipment barn, and the cattle working corrals. Numerous cross-fences have been implemented to add ease and efficiency within the ranch, and the roughly 430 +/- acres of improved Worldfeeder Bermuda, B Dahl Bluestem, and Midland 99 Bermuda grasses are complementary to the production potential for those inclined towards an agricultural venture. 43 +/- acres of cultivation also lie just north of the corrals, which the current owner has used for producing wheat hay.
The primary residence on the property is situated with a lofty view of the large canyon walls and buttes unique to the area. With over a 100-foot drop in elevation to the bottom from the home, watching cattle graze or wildlife roam is a pleasure. Built within the last seven years, the home was done with taste. Featuring polished concrete flooring, granite countertops, and well-crafted wooden cabinetry. Just like the home itself, the living room space, dining area, and kitchen are all centrally located and have access to a half bath. The first bedroom is on the east side of the house and has its own full bathroom. On the west side of the house lies the other two bedrooms which share a jack-and-jill bathroom suite.
Having been under the same ownership for 12 years, the hunting potential on the ranch has been virtually untapped. Countless whitetail deer are known to call the ranch their home, with reports of 80 plus deer being seen on the cultivation ground near the house. While the dramatic canyons and rocky outcroppings pose a hindrance towards agricultural production, they undoubtedly prove to be as equally beneficial, if not more so, in the way of culminating trophy-class whitetails, without mentioning the aesthetic beauty. Mature hardwood species such as post oak, American elm, and hackberries all add to the total diversity, while the Oklahoma state tree, the Eastern Redbud, is among the first to welcome early spring. Rio Grande turkeys can be heard this time of year in the bottomland as they work to gather their harem of hens. Lastly, the largest of the ponds on the property is roughly 5.6 acres and collects from three different drainages. Claims of largemouth bass in excess of 10 pounds taking refuge here have been made. Almost without exception, the Stephens County 1040 is among a top-tier of combination ranches to be found in Oklahoma, and opportunities to make such a unique piece your own don't come around often. Whether your primary interest is livestock, wildlife, or you simply desire a secluded retreat for an extended weekend with family or friends, this ranch surely won't disappoint.
