We have recently obtained a co-exclusive listing on a signature ranch located in Central-Eastern Oklahoma. The ranch is located 9 miles west of Eufaula, 60 miles south of Tulsa and 120 miles east of Oklahoma City. The ranch is at the headwaters of the 70-mile long Lake Eufaula, one of the nations largest man-made lakes and a popular recreation lake in the area. Direct river access to the Lake exists from the ranch via the North Canadian River.

This ranch is situated in a gas producing area, and is served by many major highways and major commercial airports. McAlester Industrial Airport is just 30 miles away and Tulsa International is just 60 miles away.
Access to the ranch exist from Oklahoma Highway 9 which connects to the "Indian Nations" turnpike (Interstate Highway #75) within seven miles east of the ranch and Highway 69. Interstate Highway 40 is just a few miles north of the property. The ranch is less than a four hour drive from Dallas, TX.

Totally, the Canadian River Ranch contains 11,083 acres, more or less. In addition to the 11,083 deeded acreage, there are approximately 2,470 acres of absentee owner/land-locked property. Since this property can be used without any cost, it is considered part of the ranch, although no title will be transferred on sale. This free use land has been operated with the ranch for many years. While the continued use of this acreage cannot be guaranteed, because these are isolated tracts it does not appear likely this situation will change.

Set in the majestic beauty of Eastern Oklahoma, the Canadian River Ranch has been generously blessed by all that nature has to offer. This incredible working ranch features clear running water, ponds and river frontage.

The ranch offers a working cattle ranch, recreation, and sports club with open range, and upland and bottom land timber. Three major creeks and topographic changes range from 630 feet to 950 feet.
This historic working cattle ranch encompassing a total of approximately 12,980 acres. This scenic ranch covers about twenty-five (25) square miles of pastures, timber, ponds, lakes and streams in an area of Oklahoma which has abundant rainfall (44 inches annually).
This property boasts approximately 2.5 miles of frontage along the pristine North Canadian River, which meanders its way across the Sooner state. Grasses on the ranch consist primarily of native Tallgrass Prairie grasses, forbs and legumes. Farm ponds, lakes, and streams are distributed throughout the ranch for efficient cattle operations as well as wildlife maintenance.

The ranch is well watered. There are approximately 42 farm ponds located within the ranch which provide year round water resources for livestock, wildlife, and excellent bass and catfish habitat.
Three major watershed basins, Piney Creek, Limbo Creek and Gar Creek run throughout the ranch.
The scenic North Canadian River at the headwaters of Lake Eufaula comprises 1½ miles of the northern boundary of the ranch.

Major improvements has been recently completed at the ranch including the clearing and fencing of more than 9,000 acres of pastures with more than 20 miles of new four-wire steel post fence.
An historic 3,000 square foot house of native quarried stone was modernized and renovated in 1991. This beautiful home is sited at the 900-foot elevation on the ranch to take advantage of sweeping views of Lake Eufaula and the surrounding countryside.

Additionally, a modern three-bedroom ranch manager's home was also renovated and enlarged in 1992. There is also a bunkhouse that sleeps eight, that is used by hunters, and two remote cabins. Working pens and corrals have been substantially upgraded and are adequate for the cattle operations presently existing on the ranch. A 3,200-foot private airstrip is located on the ranch for direct access by private planes.

Besides being a quality cattle ranch with many very scenic areas, this property also has significant recreational value.
A paradise for the outdoorsman, the wildlife habitat is teaming with bob white quail, turkey, hogs and whitetail deer. Abundant waters provide natural gathering places for ducks, Canadian geese and other waterfowl.

The ranch supports good population of white tail deer. Many have been taken off the ranch over the years including a 25-point whitetail buck which had the largest rack taken in the state of Oklahoma in 1993. The deer population on the ranch, as estimated by an Oklahoma State Wildlife field survey, exceeds 500 animals, which permits a high sustained yield each year with the goal of increasing trophy animals.

The ranch is actively involved with the Oklahoma Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) since it's inception and because of that a number of does are taken through the season under a special permit from the Oklahoma State Wildlife Commission.

Several good fishing locations are available on the river and many of the ponds. The ranch provides a winter haven to an enormous population of geese and ducks. Thus, Canadian River Ranch earns its reputation as "the ultimate sportsman's paradise."

More than 4,400 acres of valuable mineral rights and existing gas production can be purchased with the ranch.

A number of oil and gas experts have concluded that an active well drilling program would produce substantial gas production and revenues. Different approaches for the exploitation of additional gas production on the ranch are now being considered including leasing or direct drilling activities. Seismographic and geological data has recently been accumulated on the ranch, which appears favorable. Recent increases in the price of natural gas have led to an increasing number of inquiries concerning leasing and/or drilling on the ranch. It is believed that the ranch presents a major revenue opportunity for someone willing to aggressively exploit the natural gas on the ranch. The minerals should be considered a seperate deal and can be purchased at a negotiated price.

A substantial portion of the northern section of the ranch is heavily timbered with blackjack oak, pine, and other species of native trees. The pine, on the north portion of the Ranch, is considered the most northern and western native pine in Oklahoma. There is an ever increasing demand for timber for pulpwood and chipping material and demands for wood products will increase as more and more traditional forest areas become unavailable for timbering operations. The timber on theranch represents a major untapped potential revenue source.

Surface and sub-surface rock offer additional income.

The Canadian River Ranch is the crown jewel of Oklahoma. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to purchase this magnificent ranch and all it has to offer.

This quality offering is priced to sell at around $1500 per deed acre.

Property taxes are approximately $4,500 per year.
