Acreage on Kiamichi River – National Forest Area

Acreage on Kiamichi River –  National Forest Area

Location:  This property is located in the heart of the Ouachita National Forest in a beautiful valley setting between Simmons Mountain to the North and the majestic Kiamichi Mountain Range to the South.  The South property line is the beautiful Kiamichi River with the protected lands of the Upper Kiamichi Wilderness Area being a big portion of it’s watershed.  This property is located in the small community of Big Cedar, Oklahoma.  Nearby towns include Broken Bow, Hochatown and Talihina.  The property is in the heart of the 1.5 million acre Ouachita National Forest, which provides hunting opportunities for whitetail deer, eastern wild turkey, black bear, wild hog and other small game as well as direct access to an impressive network of ATV and horseback riding trails that are operated and maintained by the US Forest Service.  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 five miles North.   The property is a about 3.5 hours from Dallas, Texas. 

Services to Property:  Rural Electricity and Rural Water Service are on the North side of the property.  Propane (LPG) Gas can be purchased and delivered from the nearby towns.  Rural mail delivery to the county road.

Access:  This property has legal access by turning off a county maintained road onto about 300 feet of private road with deeded easement.  This is a very private and secluded setting with very little traffic. 

Land:  There are 2.5 surveyed acres of level to gently sloping land that are completely covered with a mature stand of timber that is native to south-eastern Oklahoma.  The North property line has frontage along a private road and the south property line is the Kiamichi River.  There is a great location to construct a cabin or retirement home on the bank overlooking the Kiamichi River.  The height of the timber stand on this tract is evidence of the productive sandy loam river bottom soil contained in this valley.  Wildlife are frequently seen on the property and surrounding area.  There is a really cool hand dug water well on the property that is the only remains of a homestead from many years past.

Agent’s Comments:  This is the ideal setting for a relaxing and peaceful weekend getaway from city life or even a full time residence.  This is a very unique property that provides access to both the Kiamichi River and the Ouachita National Forest Recreational Area.  In my opinion, this property can be classified as true “Investment Grade Recreational Property”.  A very private, secluded and peaceful setting.  This would be the perfect location for a weekend cabin or full time residence.
