About 140 acres of this land is creek bottom land consisting of deep soils suitable for row crops if desired. About 50 acres of the land is up-land and/or low hills that would be suitable for home-sites and well out of any possibility of flooding. It would appear that about 80 acres of the bottom land is in a 100 year flood-plain so buyers should consult county flood-maps if this is of concern. There is an estimated 40 acres of open pasture and meadow. The remainder of the land is wooded with the timber hardwood varieties native to this area such as oak, hickory, ash, elm, red cedar and others. The wooded areas are largely bottom lands which could be cleared for pasture or crops if desired. Currently the farm is used to grow hay and pasture cattle. It is estimated that the farm will handle about 25 animal units at this time. The farm is fenced and cross-fenced. WATER SUPPLY: Brazil river flows through this farm for an ever-flowing supply of water for fishing and livestock water. There are 2 ponds that furnish year around water. There is a well at the old home-site, but we have no way of knowing how much water it produces. Buyers are advised they should plan on drilling a new well if they decide to build a new home on this property. Average rainfall runs from 45 to 50 inches per year in this section of Oklahoma. BUILDINGS: None at this time. This is an old farm and there was once a home and barn on the place. These have been torn down so that there are no buildings at this time. TAXES: About $187.46 per year. PRICE: $1,200 per acre or $228,000. COMMENTS: 190 acres of mostly wooded land in county location with view of Cavanal mountain in the distance. Every flowing stream passes through the farm for year around water supply plus fishing, canoeing, swimming or float-fishing. In addition to the creek, there are 2 ponds for fishing with bass, crappie, catfish and other pan fish to be caught. Excellent hunting for turkey, deer, quail, squirrel, rabbit and other game on this farm. About 70% wooded land with balance in pastures and meadows. Several nice home-sites including a hill that would provide a hilltop site for a new home providing an over-view of the entire farm with mountains in the distance. If the time every arrives that you want more production out of this place, just clear some of the wooded areas for additional pastures or crops.
