Located along the eastern edge of Seminole County, Oklahoma, Scissortail Lake Ranch is a remarkable 280- acre +/- ranch centered around one of the most beautiful private lakes the Land Doctors have encountered. This is a true Oklahoma gem, seen by few and owned by only a select handful.
The ranch lies just 37 miles from Ada, 69 miles from Oklahoma City, 88 miles from Tulsa and 185 miles from Dallas. For Dallas buyers, the property offers a nearly a straight shot North via US-75, State Highway 48 and US-270.
As you turn off the highway and approach the main gate, you’re greeted by a well-constructed electric entry gate with keypad access, setting the tone for privacy and exclusivity. Any hopes of a glimpse of the lake from the highway are quickly dismissed. Scissortail Lake remains virtually completely hidden behind its dam, revealing its beauty only to those fortunate enough to pass throug...
As you turn off the highway and approach the main gate, you’re greeted by a well-constructed electric entry gate with keypad access, setting the tone for privacy and exclusivity. Any hopes of a glimpse of the lake from the highway are quickly dismissed. Scissortail Lake remains virtually completely hidden behind its dam, revealing its beauty only to those fortunate enough to pass through the gate. With nearly 90 feet of elevation change across the property, the ranch offers a constantly shifting landscape of dramatic views and natural character.
Beyond the gate, a gravel drive gently meanders South toward the lake, creating a peaceful arrival experience that feels more like entering a private nature preserve than a ranch. From a practical standpoint, the property offers exceptional access and flexibility. It features over 4,800’ frontage US-270, along with additional frontage along NS 3640. This secondary potential access creates options for alternate entry or future division of the northern portion of the ranch, adding both convenience and long-term value.
As you near the lake, the feeling changes entirely. Scissortail Lake feels like a secluded, expansive, exclusive, private park. The current owner has thoughtfully developed the lake into a true fisherman’s paradise. A well-built floating dock, complete with fish feeder, anchors the experience and offers ample space for friends and family to spend long days fishing together. The lower portion of the dock measures nearly 400 square feet, with an additional upper platform measuring nearly 200 square feet.
The lake’s distinctive scissortail shaped shoreline creates changing perspectives and stunning views. A narrow neck along the dam provides access to the southern portion of the lake. Due to its size and distinct design, it is nearly impossible to take in the entire lake from a single vantage point. The Land Doctors estimate the lake spans approximately 37 acres, with an irregular shoreline that creates countless covers, points, and pockets that are ideal habitat for the trophy bass known well to these types of lakes.
Whether you are slowly working the shoreline with a Texas-rigged plastic worm or throwing your favorite topwater lure during a warm summer evening, this is the kind of place where time just slips away. Serious anglers will want a boat, spare batteries, a full cooler, and plenty of bait, as Scissortail Lake invites long days on the water.
Beyond its exceptional recreational appeal, the ranch also offers income-producing potential. The predominant soils, identified as Stephenville-Darnell complex, are classified as Class III and are well suited for grazing and limited farming. Approximately 75% of the property consists Class IV soils or better, providing ample opportunity for cattle grazing and hay production. Open pastures and nutrient-rich soils make this land both productive and versatile.
In many ways, Scissortail Lake Ranch is a blank canvas for its next owner. While there are no residential improvements currently in place, much of the groundwork has already been completed. This includes operational water well, electric service and over 2200’ feet of established gravel road.
The Land Doctors have identified several exceptional build sites throughout the property that are ideal for a custom home or barndominium overlooking the lake. One can easily envision a large lakeside pavilion with an oversized fire pit where friends and family gather in the evenings while the day’s catch sizzles nearby. We would love to help make your dream lakeside home become a reality.
If you have ever dreamed of owning a property that truly feels like your own private park, complete with a 37-acre +/- lake, this is your opportunity. This is the type of place where every weekend feels like a vacation and where friends and family are always eager to return.
