COMMENTS: This is a truly
unique property which offers absolute superb opportunity for a country estate
or a bed-breakfast facility. The location, bordering a scenic state highway yet
oblivious due to the terrain and mature trees, is in the mountains of Southeast
Oklahoma in an area noted for it’s recreational opportunities. The atmosphere
set by the rustic dwelling and matching outbuildings is park-like and continues
across the entire property. The ranch has been in the owner’s family for almost
70 years, but this era is about to end. Who will be the fortunate one to
continue with this one of a kind place, the LEWARK RANCH!
