N1762 Rd, Vinson, OK 73571

This piece of the Great Plains of Southwestern Oklahoma is suitable for running cattle, and it is also an excellent opportunity for the Bobwhite quail hunter, making it a choice combination property. There is 170 feet of elevation change across the rolling plains of the property, with canyons and creeks. Part of the Northeastern section of the ranch borders the river. If you are a cattleman who likes to check the herd on horseback, this is a beautiful ranch to do so, checking the canyons and coulees. The ranch has a spring on the North end that was one of the water sources in the area during the Dust Bowl period. In the spring, at just about any spot, you can get out for a walk and hear the mating calls of the Bobwhite quail. The ranch also has other species of wildlife, including Whitetail deer, turkey, and hogs, providing other hunting opportunities. This ranch has been in the family for many years, and they have been great stewards of the land by regulating grazing by managing stocking rates dependent on annual rainfall, and keeping brush cleared and sprayed. If it has been your dream to own a piece of the Plains, give this ranch a look. Location:  This combination ranch is located just Northeast of Vinson, Oklahoma, on county road N1760. 22 miles from Mangum, OK. 45 miles from Altus, OK. 172 miles from Oklahoma City, OK. 123 miles from Amarillo, TX. 131 miles from Wichita Falls, TX. 188 miles from Lubbock, TX. Water:  The ranch has a rural water line that runs up to the old homestead, and it services the cattle pens, and continues across the southwestern section of the property to a livestock trough.

A spring on the Northeast section is a constant source of water, and the creeks will hold water seasonally, plus the river on the Northeast corner of the property. Wildlife:  It is rare to find property available today that provides good Bobwhite quail hunting opportunities. This property has birds this year, and following the spring rains, hopefully the hatches will be good. This ranch provides an awesome opportunity for the spot and stalk hunter, the canyons and coulees allow you to get up high and spot your quarry, and then plan a route to get within range of your target. Feeders also produce opportunities for deer and hogs. Terrain:  The elevation on the North end along the river is about 1660 feet, and some of the peaks of the hills are around 1830 feet. The canyons and coulees provide many nooks and crannies throughout the property.

Improvements:  The ranch has a rural water supply on the Southwest, supplying the old homestead and livestock water. There is also an electric line that formerly serviced the homestead. There is a solar-powered water well that supplies a metal tank for livestock watering on the North end of the property, and the only other improvements are the corrals and pens for working cattle. The fences are all in good shape, both perimeter and cross fences. Minerals:  There will be no minerals transferred with the sale.
