Elk Lake Ranch

Elk Lake Ranch is an extremely rare hunting and recreational property with new 21 acre lake built in 2020 measuring 20' deep and perfectly stocked to produce trophy bass. This property is situated in the foothills of the Arbuckle Mountains where rolling Crosstimbered uplands break off into mesquite flats and eventually hardwood creek bottoms. This unique area is home to some incredible whitetail deer genetics, but is also one of a few areas of the State where free-range ELK are thriving and expanding. This property features excellent cattle grazing on both Bermuda and native grasses, as well as exceptional recreational opportunity for big game, waterfowl and fishing. Less than six miles East of I-35 on a direct exit and just one mile West of Ardmore Industrial Airpark which has a +6,000' runway.
