Description

Location: This unique property is nestled in the heart of the Ouachita
National Forest between the southern slopes of the Winding Stair Mountain Range
and Lenox Ridge. The property adjoins
the 1.5 million acre Ouachita National Forest on 2 sides, which provides good
hunting opportunities for whitetail deer, eastern wild turkey, black bear, wild
hog and other small game species as well as access to an impressive network of
ATV, hiking and horseback riding trails that are operated and maintained by the
US Forest Service. The property has
roughly 660 feet of frontage to Billy Creek, which is a near year round source
of crystal clear water with headwaters originating on the National Forest to
the West. The property is located Northeast of the small community or Muse,
OK. Nearby towns include Broken Bow,
Hochatown, Talihina and Poteau, which is the county seat. Broken Bow Lake, which offers some of the
best fishing in Oklahoma, is only a short 45 minute drive away to the
South. Sardis Lake, Cedar Lake and
Wister Lake are only a short drive away as well. The Talimena Scenic Drive is just 2.5 miles

towns.

Access: This property is accessed by turning East off
of a county maintained US Forest Service Road (Lenox Ridge Road) and traveling
roughly 1 mile down a road that crosses through US Forest Service land. The
new owners will need to obtain an access permit from the US Forest Service for
use of the 1 mile section of road. The
current cost for the permit is roughly $125/year.

Land: There are 20 acres (m/l) of land with a
variation of terrain being mostly flat to gently sloping land around Billy
Creek. There are several nice locations
on the property to construct an off-grid cabin. The land is completely covered
with a nice stand of mature timber that is native to south-eastern Oklahoma
inducing a diverse variety of oaks, sweet gum, hickory, eastern red cedar as
well as some nice saw log size native shortleaf pine that could be sawed into
lumber if desired. Billy Creek flows
through the property for roughly 660 feet.
The property adjoins the 1.5 million acre Ouachita National Forest on 2
