This combination grazing and recreational property provides productive grazing, quality wildlife habitat, and beautiful views. The mix of improved forages adds value to a grazing operation. The rolling hills, mature timbered creek bottoms, native shrubs and adequate water provides quality white-tailed deer habitat in a sought-after location. The ranch is conveniently located less than 12 miles from Ponca City and easy to access off of county roads.
The property is primarily composed of Midland 99 Bermuda and is highly suitable for high intensity grazing and hay production. The Norge-Pawhuska and Verdigris silt loam soils along the creek are capable of producing approximately 4.5 AUM’s of forage per-acre. Reliable year-round sources of water are available from the spring-fed Charley Creek that runs through the property in addition to pond and water wells. The property is divided into multiple pastures and traps designed for rotational grazing and includes steel pens with 30 x 40 red iron shop and concrete floor. Fencing ranges from adequate to newer steel post and corners.
Osage County is well-known for the diversity of wildlife and this area is no exception. Charley Creek, which runs diagonally across the property, provides a reliable water source and travel corridor for a variety of wildlife species. The ponds, native shrub thickets, and travel corridors provide prime wildlife habitat. The excellent wildlife habitat and edge is highly attractive to white-tailed deer, northern bobwhite quail, wild turkey, and many other game and non-game species. The ponds and creek attract waterfowl and provide quality fishing opportunities.
