LOCATION:
Latimer County, OK, on the North Flats of the Winding Stair Mtns.
of the Ouachita
National Forest, in the Fourche Maline drainage
system above Wister Lake and south of the Sans Bois Mtns..
Rural Oklahoma in an area of ranching country yet less than an hour’s drive
from either McAlester, Poteau, or Ft. Smith, Ark.. A close
drive to several area lakes, National Forest, and public hunting areas for
recreational enjoyment. The notable equine trail systems headquartered
at Cedar Lake and Blackfork Mtn. to name a few are
just east.
SITE: 157
acres m/l of improved pasture with a scattering of trees. Mostly class II-IV
soils, several ponds, cross-fenced into 6+pastures, with most of the open area
also utilized for hay. Approximately 1 mile of county road
frontage and just three miles south of SH 271. The land is considered
mostly level-gently sloping with a ridge in the NE quarter featuring the
farmstead. Presently a cattle operation, but could also be used as an equine or
combo property.
IMPROVEMENTS:
Traditional BV dwelling with over 1600 square feet heated area as reported by
the county assessor records. Dwelling is in very good shape, and offers a
hilltop view of the entire property. A detached 3 car garage with a 2nd
story living area supplements the dwelling. There are 4 barns for hay, feed,
livestock, and equipment as well as cattle pens.
COMMENTS:
A very productive ranching unit setting in a tranquil valley offering a great
view of the surrounding mountain ranges. While rural, it is only a short
distance to shopping, market, and all the recreational opportunities that SE
Oklahoma has to offer. The view of the property from the dwelling and
especially the kitchen area will seal the deal on this very
outstanding Oklahoma ranch.
