Description
Red River Ridge
Red River Ridge encompasses 75 fertile acres just above the Red River in the Love’s Valley Bottom of Love County, Oklahoma. As you enter the property, a winding drive through towering pecan trees leads you to the custom-built ranch home — a true work of craftsmanship. Constructed in 2005 as a family retreat and recently updated, this home is as solid and sound as any you’ll step into.
From the wide front porch, you can look out over rolling pastures for nearly a mile.
The ranch home offers approximately 5,800 square feet across three levels, built with 14-inch thick concrete walls for superior strength, insulation, and longevity. The main floor features a large open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area with a utility room and a spacious master suite. Upstairs, there are four additional bedrooms, each with individual sinks, providing privacy and convenience for guests or family. The lower level includes a large media/game room perfect for entertaining or a man cave, along with two additional rooms ideal for storage or extra sleeping quarters. In total, the home includes five full bathrooms and ample living space designed for comfort, function, and durability.
The property has also benefited from new landscaping and planter beds around the home, adding to its charm and livability. With its picturesque pecan-lined drive, sprawling porches, and sweeping views over the valley, the setting naturally lends itself to use as a boutique wedding or event venue. The open pastures, mature timber, and architectural character of the home create multiple outdoor ceremony sites, photo backdrops, and gathering areas — making the property well-suited for intimate weddings, retreats, or special events.Combining high-quality infrastructure with exceptional land stewardship, Red River Ridge is a rare opportunity to own a productive, self-sustaining property in one of Oklahoma’s most fertile river bottoms. The land is able to be certified organic and has not received any chemical fertilizers for over three years.
