Nestled into the heart of southwest Oklahoma, this 360 acre tract offers both utility for grazing and some incredible recreational opportunities. The property provides excellent access off Highway 183, as the roads remain blacktop until the last tenth of a mile. The property has a long history of cattle grazing with an additional 17.42 +/- acres of cropland in the southeast corner, of which 13.92 +/- acres are registered base acres of cotton with the Farm Service Agency.
The owners have done an outstanding job of maintaining the property as they have kept the grassland slopes of the mountain free from cedars. A total of five ponds can be found, with several being roughly one acre in size. A water well is located on the northeast corner; however, its production tends to fluctuate with the level of the lake. A small metal building great for lounging or storage lies next to the northeasternmost pond, and attached to it is a sizable dock for fishing.
Surrounded by Great Plains State Park land on two sides, this property has been known to produce some of the most consistent trophy-class whitetails in the area. The parkland acts as a buffer, and the rugged contour of the mountains blends into the many cultivated fields below, providing deer with the sort of haven necessary to grow big and old. Featuring over 275 feet of elevation change, outdoor enthusiasts will love the ability to utilize the contour to aid in their style of hunting. Other wildlife species of interest known to call this property home and frequent the area are turkey, quail, and aoudad (barbary sheep).
Access to the Great Plains State Park is next to none with this property, as the main boat launch to Tom Steed Lake is less than five minutes away. The Park is a popular destination for people from all over coming to fish, camp, hike, and enjoy the many water sports. Another local attraction is the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge is home to animals such as elk, bison, and longhorn, making it a must-see for viewing wildlife. Other activities like hiking, biking, kayaking, and swimming are all also available within the refuge and just a short 30-minute drive away. Considering this property's excellent location and its unique sliver of the Wichita Mountains, don’t miss out on this opportunity to call it your own!
