Description

Location:  This “One of a Kind” property is nestled in the heart of the Ouachita National Forest in a beautiful valley setting between Rich Mountain to the North and the majestic Kiamichi Mountain Range to the South.  The North property boundary is a deep hole of crystal clear water on the beautiful Kiamichi River, which is a year round source of water that provides recreational opportunities for fishing and kayaking.  The South property boundary adjoins the 1.5 million acre Ouachita National Forest, which provides excellent 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.  The property is located in the small community or Big Cedar, OK.  Nearby towns include Heavener, Talihina and Poteau, which is the county seat.  Broken Bow Lake, which offers some of the best fishing in Oklahoma, is only a short 30 minute drive away to the South.  Sardis Lake, Cedar Lake and Wister Lake are only minutes away as well.  The Talimena Scenic Drive is five miles North.   The property is a 1.5 hour drive from Fort Smith, Arkansas and about 3.5 hours from Dallas, Texas.  The MapRight map provided at the bottom of this listing outlines the property perimeter on Google Earth.  Address:  20540 Fields Lane; Hodgen, Oklahoma 74939

Land:  There are 10 acres (m/l) of level to gently sloping land that is covered with a diverse variety of young trees that are native to South eastern Oklahoma including redbud, hickory, white oak, sweet gum, red oak, eastern red cedar and native shortleaf yellow pine.  The North property boundary has approximately 250 foot of frontage along the Kiamichi River and the South property boundary has approximately 345 foot of frontage to the Ouachita National Forest.  The land contains a deep sandy loam river bottom soil that is well suited for gardening and fruit trees.  Wildlife are frequently seen on this property as well as the surrounding National Forest area.

Agent’s Comments:  This is the ideal setting for a relaxing and peaceful weekend getaway from city life or even a full time residence.  No traffic, no hurrying, just simple life away from the hectic city.  This is a very unique property that provides direct 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”.
