They say in real estate that location is everything and that is certainly true with the LaVentana Ranch. Centrally located between Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Dallas, Texas, the ranch is just a short 2.5 hour drive from both major city centers. Additionally, the LaVentana Ranch is only 10 minutes away from the Sardis Lake boat launch. Rare and hard to come by in Southeast Oklahoma, you'll be pleased to find that access to the ranch cannot be beat. Paved interstates and state highways lead directly to a short 1 mile long gravel road is very well maintained by the County. Perhaps one of the most valuable benefits to the location of the ranch is that it is at the end of a dead-end road and is bordered by large land owners. This type of privacy means you will spend your days immersed in peace and tranquility, where you will feel like you're in a world of your own.

LaVentana Ranch has a stunning 40'x60' barndominium tucked away at the field edge, surrounded by mature pines. The barndominium is broken down into three sections, a 1,040 square foot finished living space (cabin), 560 square feet of insulated dry storage/shop, and a 20'x40' awning. It is a true place to relax and enjoy your surroundings.

The 2 bedroom, 1 bath cabin is all electric and has spared no expense with all wood floors, walls, and ceilings. If you are looking for that rustic country cabin look with all the modern conveniences, this is it! With large open windows overlooking a large field, you can watch native wildlife right from the couch. A large open living room and kitchen serve as the main place for entertaining. The 2 bedrooms are on the adjacent west end, with a full bath in between. The laundry room, with washer and dryer, is tastefully hidden behind two wood doors off of the garage entry. The barndoniminum is serviced by Kiamichi Electric for power, Sardis Lake Authority for rural water, and has a septic for sewer. Well thought out and designed, the cabin is super energy efficient, having been framed, built, and insulated inside of an already insulated metal exterior. For those that are looking for more living space, additional expansion is available in the 560 square feet of dry storage adjacent to the finished cabin interior. Currently used for storage and an insulated workshop, this could easily accommodate a multitude of growth options. Just north of the dry storage is a 20'x40' covered awning that is ideal for covered parking and equipment storage to keep your valuables out of the sun and rain. Lastly, the barndominum has a 7'x40' covered porch where you can enjoy your morning coffee or evenings outside.

LaVentana Ranch is a true multi-use property for hunting, cattle, and recreation in just about every aspect. In an area that's typically surrounded and covered in steep timbered mountains, finding 470 acres of all valley land is a true treasure in and of itself! For the avid outdoorsmen, the creek frontage and hardwood bottoms of the Jack Fork Creek mixed with rolling terrain, multiple unnamed creeks meandering through the property, and mature pine and hardwood forest make this place a hunting paradise. The property runs longer east to west, providing more useable hunting area and stand locations than typically found on a property this size. For whitetail deer hunting you need only see the harvest photos to understand this is a proven trophy hunting property with very low pressure. It's common to experience a phenomenal whitetail rut in which the bottomland pasture and creek bottoms are loaded with deer coming off of the surrounding mountains.

For the cattlemen, the ranch boasts approximately 120 acres of open pastures, with a great grass mix of Bermuda and native grasses. Perimeter fencing and cross-fencing is 5-strand barbed wire, which runs along the exterior. The ranch can easily handle 40+ cows and the seller currently runs approximately 80 head, utilizing the adjoining neighbors land, which is available for lease. In addition to interior roads/trails the perimeter fence lines have been cleared and maintained, making it convenient to navigate the ranch.

If you are just looking for a place to get away and enjoy nature in recreation, there are numerous trails to hike and with Jack Fork Creek being a full time creek it offers year-round fishing, as well as spring and summertime swimming and kayaking. Sardis Lake offers outstanding bass and crappie fishing just a short drive away and the local area has a multitude of festivals you can attend. The opportunities are endless!

I can't think of any other ranch that has so much diversity and convenience all in one place. There is not a season or time of year that the LaVentana Ranch isn't truly breathtaking. From the beautiful fall foliage seen on the property and surrounding mountainsides to the lush green pasture and trees of spring and summer, this is one very special place. If you've been dreaming of a property that has it all, it's time to make those dreams a reality. Call me today at (918) 600-7509 for more information and to schedule a private showing.
