BUILDINGS: Several old buildings still remain on the farm but these have no value and need to be salvaged. The old well and a chimney are still atop the hill where the old original homestead was once located. This is a commanding site affording an overview of much of the ranch and the Cavanal mountain beyond. There are many nice home-sites available on the property with utilities for 1 mile up and down the road at each of the home-sites.
SERVICES TO PROPERTY: Electric, phone, school bus route, mail route, LP gas delivery. There is a well at the old home-site. Nothing is known about the well other than a family lived here for many years. Farms and ranches in the area all have drilled wells for their domestic water supply.
LAND: 408 acres of land which is currently classified as agricultural for hay and grazing cattle. The bottom land is deep loamy soils and well suited to small grain and other crops if this is desired. There is a mix of pastures, meadows and dense wooded type land along the river flowing through the ranch. Noted are a large quantity of very large hardwoods that should have significant commercial value if harvested. It is estimated that about 50% of this land is open pastures and meadows. It is estimated that about 50% of the land is scattered timber land. Most of the timber is on good bottom land soil and could be put into permanent pasture and meadow if cleared. It is estimated that this place would run about 75 cow units in its present condition plus furnish the winter hay supply from the meadows on the place. The land is mostly free of surface stone with good sandy-loam soils with the highest elevation being the hill on which the old home was located. It is estimated that about 200 acres of this land is true bottom land with the balance being deep soil upland type property. This ranch is well fenced showing near new t posts and 6 strands of barb wire where fencing is visible along the road. We have not seen the fencing in the wooded land areas.
WATER: About mile of Brazil River flows through this ranch. There are 4 ponds. Average rainfall in this area varies from about 45 to 50 inches per year depending on the season.
TAXES $479 paid last year.
PRICE: $1,200 acre for a total price of $480,000.
COMMENTS: Beautiful Eastern Oklahoma river ranch perfect for active retirement. Great place to raise cattle, horses and hay crops. Very scenic views of the mountains. Year around flowing water from the river running through the ranch for about mile. Many country home-sites all with utilities makes this property suitable to sub-divide into smaller units each one having a very nice site for a new home in the country.
