This is one of the most complete recreational properties of its size on the market today. The Arkansas River Farm is perfectly outfitted with a small cabin and shop roughly 1/4 mile from the entry gate, which is the last stop on a dead-end road. This property is located just south of the Belford bridge west of Ralston, OK along the section of the Arkansas River know as "The Bend". This area of the river absolutely loads up with ducks and geese in the winter. When the water levels are right, the birds will utilize the exposed sandbars as a roost. One of the Seller's favorite memories of the property is sitting on the porch of the cabin overlooking the river and watching thousands and thousands of greenheads drop into the river below. One of the creek drainages gives easy access from the property onto the river by foot when the water is down or by boat when levels are up. If big mature bucks interest you then this farm will not disappoint! Numerous trophy bucks have been taken on this property in the last several years including one taken two years ago that gross scored 203. There are approximately 30 tree stands scattered throughout this property giving a bowhunter an advantage for any wind. Six strategically placed box blinds overlook food plots and feeders for optimal opportunity at a quality northern Oklahoma buck! Several of the blinds afford a very scenic view overlooking the river. Like them or hate them, wild pigs also call this place home and offer additional hunting opportunities throughout the year. The rare opportunity to chase the prehistoric-looking paddlefish also exists on the river. When conditions have been right, the Seller has caught paddlefish by wading the river just below the cabin. If you're not familiar with the area you should know that nearby Kaw Lake to the north, offers some great public access for waterfowl and has great fishing as well. Located just south of the property a short distance is Sooner Lake which is used to cool the OG&E power plant. Due to the unique elevated year-round water temperatures, the lake sustains tremendous populations of largemouth, crappie, catfish, and stripers! If you're looking for an all-around hunting property with excellent fishing in the neighborhood then look no further! Riverfront property doesn't come available in this area often!
