Overall, the terrain of the ranch is considered to be fairly level to gently sloping. Wolf Creek, which flows through the southern portion of the ranch, provides year round crystal clear live water, with tree covered surroundings creating a "park like" setting throughout the 7 plus miles of the creek bottom. Immediately north of the tree covered creek bottom area, the terrain gently elevates and is fairly level to gently sloping and sometimes undulating. Soils in this area of the property are generally sandy or sandy loam. Throughout this area, the ranch has a fairly open appearance with a turf of mixed native grasses, along with substantial plum thickets, sumac and scattered sage.

Three pivot sprinkler systems are located on the ranch, with a total of approximately 460 wet acres of irrigated ground. Typically, these irrigated circles are farmed in wheat or hybrid sudan for seasonal grazing or for hay production. To the east of these pivots is a large sub-irrigated native hay meadow, which generally produces several hundred large round bales of native grass hay. The native hay is a combination of Eastern Gama, Switch, several varieties of Bluestem and mixed meadow grasses. To the south of Wolf Creek are several dryland fields containing a total of about 50 acres.

As the country continues to transition north, the terrain becomes more sloping, hilly and broken with several major drainages, all descending to Wolf Creek. The soils in this area of the ranch are loamy with limestone rock outcrops common along the steeper sloping areas of the ranch. Grass vegetation includes side oats, gramma, brome and several varieties of bluestem.

Water:

The property is considered to be extremely well watered with live water in Wolf Creek and Twenty Five Mile Creek, windmills, electric submersible wells, one solar well and a small amount of pipeline watering. The water quality is generally excellent, being in the Ogallala Aquifer. The irrigation wells reportedly have capacities of around 800 - 900 gallons per minute each. It would be hard to find a better watered ranch.

Access:

Access is provided by paved highway frontage.

Hunting:

Recreation, hunting and fishing are major components of the Sutter Ranch. Whitetail Deer and Turkey literally flourish in the wooded creek bottom areas. Quail and dove are in abundance throughout the property, as well as pheasant. Mule Deer are occasionally viewed in the more open hilly and broken areas found on the north side of the ranch. Fishing is generally good in Wolf Creek. Channel Catfish and Largemouth Bass make for an exciting fishing experience and the bow fisherman will

enjoy fishing for Carp and Drum.

The irrigated cultivated land is adjacent to the wooded creek bottom country. When this land is planted to wheat and/or hybrid sudan, it becomes a magnet for the huge deer population found throughout the protected creek bottom, and it is not uncommon to view hundreds of deer in the early morning or late evening grazing this lush forage.

The State of Oklahoma is on every serious whitetail hunters watchlist every year for trophy deer, and the genetics found on the Sutter Ranch should satisfy even the most seasoned whitetail hunter. Game management has been a tradition on this ranch and it shows in the quality deer that flourish on the property. Both typical and nontypical heavy antlered deer are common on the ranch as well as genetics for drop-tines and split brow-tines. Hundreds of recent trail-cam pictures are available.

Improvements:

The Sutter Ranch is considered to be adequately improved for the day to day operation of the property. The main headquarters consist of a framed house, mobile home (office) and outbuildings. Other nearby structural improvements include an older, but very well kept frame Ranch Manager's home and a nearly new metal barn. There are also three sets of livestock working/shipping pens on the ranch.

Remarks:

The Sutter Ranch is very representative of one of the finest ranches in this area of Oklahoma. This is the first time this long term ownership ranch has ever been offered for sale. The ranch is very well kept and is ready to operate and enjoy. It is seldom that a ranch of this quality and size becomes available.

Price:

$1,295 per deeded acre
