SOILS AND WILDLIFE: The property is characterized by predominantly upland topography underlain by Niotaze-Bigheart soil complexes- well-drained, shallow to moderately steep terrain suited for oak forest, native vegetation and wildlife habitat development. Lower-lying areas are dominated by mature timber stands featuring a diverse mix of red oak, bur oak, hickory, pecan, and other native hardwood species. These species collectively contribute to an abundant supply of both hard and soft mast, as well as a rich understory of native browse, all of which are critical components of high-quality white-tailed deer habitat. The upland shallow savanna soils form the base plant community of post oak, and blackjack oak, with hickory and some red oak species, characteristic of the cross timbers ecoregion. The dominate native forage species include big bluestem, Indiangrass, switchgrass, and little bluestem. Native legumes such as prairie acacia, leadplant, showy partridgepea, roundhead and slender lespedeza offer high crude protein to the forage base and fix nitrogen for other plants to use. Forbs like maximilian and ashy sunflower, prairie coneflower, pitcher sage, and several species of gayfeather offer excellent food sources for native wildlife species like northern bobwhite, white-tailed deer, wild turkey, mourning dove and song birds along with cover, crucial for ground nesting birds. Together, these integrated plant communities represent the ecological richness of the Cross Timbers ecoregions, supporting a diverse mix of game and non-game species while offering a balanced setting for recreation, conservation, and habitat management. Several hunting blinds and stand locations have been strategically placed across the ranch, with established shooting lanes that take advantage of natural funnels, elevation transitions, and habitat. In addition, multiple locations on the upland offer potential for food plot establishment, enhancing the propertys whitetail hunting opportunities. WATER: Water resources on the property include two existing ponds providing reliable year-round water supply for both wildlife and grazing. The topography offers multiple suitable locations for additional impoundments, should the future owner wish to expand water availability. Domestic water to the residence is supplied by a private well. Located in Osage County, the property lies within a temperate climate zone that receives an average of approximately 38 inches of annual precipitation. Rainfall is typically well-distributed throughout the growing season, with the driest period occurring from November through February a pattern that supports both warm-season forage production and healthy mast development in the hardwood draws. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This area of northern Osage County, just south of the Kansas border, is renowned for producing outstanding trophy whitetail deer and wild turkey hunting. The property is located in one of the most productive and sought-after regions in Oklahoma. Whether you're pursuing mature whitetails with family or envisioning a turnkey hunting lodge operation utilizing the existing improvements, this ranch offers a rare blend of opportunity and location. As previously noted, the property is situated just half a mile from the Western Wall Primitive Hunting Unit- a highly regarded, 7,000+ acre wildlife management area known for its exceptional habitat diversity and limited-pressure hunting environment. This archery-only unit restricts access to foot travel, eliminating vehicular traffic and significantly reducing hunter density. It also offers limited-entry muzzleloader hunts via a controlled draw, further enhancing age structure and herd quality. The absence of centerfire firearm pressure has allowed this unit to develop into one of Oklahoma's premier trophy whitetail destinations.
