Blue River Homestead
Welcome to the Land Doctors latest listing, Blue River Homestead. This 80-acre slice of tranquility is located a short 1 hour and 20 minute drive from the DFW metro near Coleman, OK in the heart of rural Johnston County. When you arrive at the front gate, you have escaped the hectic pace of modern life and as you drive down the 1850 ft long driveway, you are moving backward in time to a lifestyle very different than most families experience today. Instead of traffic, noise and cellular devices, you are entering a world where you can still hear the crickets and enjoy the sound of the crystal-clear water flowing down a gentle river. It’s here that you can shut out all the distractions and focus on one another and living in the moment.

At the end of the driveway sits a modest white rock home with detached three car garage. The entry to the home is in a partially hidden courtyard that exists between the L-shaped angle of the home and the garage. A large oak tree sits on the northwest corner of the home with two swings hanging from the limbs. Board and batten siding accents the rock work and gives the home a contemporary farmhouse look. At 2200 square feet with three bedrooms and 3 baths, it is large enough for most families. It has been recently remodeled and has a open living room, kitchen and dining room floorplan.
But this property is about much more than the house. It is also about enjoying the outdoor lifestyle. Trails lead from the home to a pond just south of the house. It is stocked with bass and perch and is also a great spot to hunt ducks. We saw a nice group while filming and the family enjoys hunting mallards and wood ducks there. The property is roughly 60 percent wooded and 40 percent open. So, if you want to have some livestock, you certainly can. Three small creek drainages run through the wooded portion, and the owners have certainly enjoyed taking huge gobblers and quality bucks from this part of the property over the years. The deer you see on this property have substantially more impressive racks than you see on most 80-acre tracts.
The reason for that is the 550 ft of Blue River frontage. The clear waters that flow in Blue River drain from the limestone slopes and underground caverns of the Arbuckle Simpson formation upstream of the property. Thus, the river acts both as a mineral supplement and a wildlife corridor. Beyond that, you can certainly look forward to enjoying kayaking the river and catching big stringers of fish from it. It’s the perfect place to seek refuge and have fun on hot summer days.
