Old Hwy 75 , Coalgate, OK 74538(Coal County)

The north part of the ranch offers some very intriguing possibilities. The confluence of three unnamed creeks located here carries the flow of 1300 acres of upstream watershed. The average annual rainfall of 44.7 inches results in almost 350 million gallons of water flowing through this part of the ranch annually. Given this, it is no surprise that areas along the creek are dominated by a thick stand of water oaks. This is not a tree that we routinely see in this part of Oklahoma, but they are beneficial to wildlife due to the production of large volumes of palatable acorns. This would be an ideal spot to establish flooded timber duck habitat. In addition to duck habitat, this spot has the topography to create a 25-acre lake with only a 350 ft long dam. That’s a lot of bang for your buck when it comes to lake building. In addition, the ratio of water flow to lake storage is 8 to 1. That’s enough water to not only keep the lake full but also to flush it with fresh inflow throughout the year. Given the dense oak forest surrounding the watershed, we suspect that the water will be tannin stained and produce largemouth bass with vibrant deep green and bronze coloration. The far eastern boundary of the ranch contains a half mile stretch of Salt Creek.

Currently, the ranch is roughly 50% forested and 50% open. If the next owner desires to increase the amount of pasture, an additional 200 acres of fertile soil could be converted from timber to pasture along the creeks. This would increase the open pasture to roughly 600 acres to achieve a 75% open to 25% forested ratio. The dominant warm season grass types seen on the ranch are bermuda, dallisgrass, common lespedeza and bahia. Cool season legumes like clover and vetch add to the soil nitrogen content and support the lush growth of grass seen in the summer. Of course, a big part of successful ranching is having good fences and facilities. The pastures are enclosed with very good five strand barb wire fences and a multitude of gates that allow easy access. Stock ponds are located throughout the ranch to provide easy access to water. Other improvements include a hay barn, corrals, overhead feed bin, working pens and chute.

Stacked Rock Ranch also has a lot to offer the recreational buyer. This area is known for its trophy whitetails and an expanding herd of free-range elk. Wild turkey populations have decreased in recent years but there are still plenty of gobblers to hunt. We will be placing feeders and cameras on the property to document wildlife populations. Our experience of showing and selling nearby ranches makes us very optimistic that you will be pleased with what we get on camera. The terrain of the ranch varies from creek bottoms to 100 ft tall hillsides that beg for exploration. This is not a ranch where you would get bored, especially if additional ATV trails were developed along the ridge and extended down into the creek bottom. In addition, there are a dozen small ponds that will provide a lot of fun fishing and duck hunting.

In the past, a large transmission line wasn’t something buyers wanted running through their ranch. The dramatic growth in data centers and alternative power systems has now made the same lines a strategic asset. Moreover, there is a substation 30 feet from the property boundary. The combination of the transmission lines and the substation are key to leveraging the future potential of the property. All the structural pieces of the grid are in place to potentially create a revenue stream that enriches multiple generations of your family. Construction of the lake would provide the water needed for a data center.

Lastly, the ranch has over 2 miles of road frontage giving you the ability to pick the perfect spot for your hunting cabin or dream home. We think there are some superb spots to build that offer a huge view from the top of the ridge looking north across the creek bottom. Land Doctors offers turnkey construction services and we would be happy to discuss your potential home, barn, lake or clearing projects. We can even drop a modular cabin in place until your permanent dwelling is completed.

Stacked Rock Ranch has just about every feature that our clients ask for and it is all in one package. Because of that, there are many different options for how to further develop the land. One might transition it into a more complete cattle ranch, a hunting mecca, renewable power site or data center.
