Italy, Texas, 76050

Hunters — here’s your dream property near the Metroplex! If you’ve been searching for a true recreational paradise close to home, this is it. This tract sits entirely within the floodplain, making it a rare find that’s perfect for hunting, fishing, and getting off the grid — not for development. It’s a place where the air feels fresher, the woods run deeper, and the only sounds you’ll hear are the calls of wildlife and the wind in the trees. When the creek’s running, you can count on excellent catfishing, and the deer herd is strong with a healthy age mix that speaks to years of good habitat and low pressure. Whether you’re after whitetail, turkey, or small game, this land offers diverse cover, food, and water — everything necessary to hold wildlife year-round. An established 2.8-acre food plot sits in the heart of the property, drawing deer and turkey in from every direction. Well-cut trails wind throughout the woods, making access easy and enjoyable whether you’re slipping in for a morning hunt or scouting sign in the off-season. The property also includes a blind and feeders that will convey, so it’s ready to hunt from day one. You’ll find yourself surrounded by nature here — the kind of place that restores peace and quiet while still keeping you just a short drive from the Metroplex. It’s rare to find a property that combines great hunting, great fishing, and great location all in one, but this one checks every box. If you’ve been dreaming of a place where you can chase deer at sunrise, catch catfish by noon, and watch the woods come alive at dusk, look no further. This is your escape — close to home, far from ordinary.

Oklahoma Hunting Land with free range elk

price

acres

409.54 Acres

location

Coalgate, Oklahoma, 74538

Overview: Tucked into the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains, this 409.54-acre tract in Coal County, Oklahoma sits squarely within the Sandstone Hills Physiographic Region, an area known for rugged terrain, hardwood ridges, native grasses, and exceptional wildlife habitat. The land carries deep roots in Oklahoma history, first stewarded by the Choctaw Nation following relocation in the 1830s, later shaped by coal mining and agriculture, and eventually joined by Amish settlers in 1978, whose influence can still be felt in the surrounding countryside. Today, the property offers over 10 miles of established trails, providing unmatched access for scouting, riding, and strategic hunting setups across varied elevations and cover.This is truly elite big-game ground. Located in ELK Zone 7, the property supports a resident elk herd with bloodlines originating from nearby WMAs including Pushmataha, Cookson Hills, and the Wichita Mountains—a rare and highly desirable feature for serious hunters. Combined with the region’s proven whitetail, turkey, and small game potential, this land stands out as a premier hunting destination with legacy appeal. Properties of this size, history, and wildlife quality rarely come to market—this is a place built for those who live for the hunt and value land with both heritage and hard-earned game.Location: Coal County Oklahoma, 16 miles north of Coalgate, OK. 2.5 hours from DFW Airport.

Predominate grasses include several varieties of Blue Stem, Yellow Indian Grass, Gamma Grasses, and Buffalo Grass.Soils: Homa-Hector Complex. The Homa-Hector complex is a soil association found in hilly, mountainous regions (like Oklahoma) where both Homa and Hector soils occur together, often on similar landscapes like ridges and slopes, but with distinct properties: Hector soils are shallow, stony, well-drained, sandy/gravelly over sandstone bedrock, typical of ridgetops, while Homa soils are deeper, clay-rich, slowly permeable, moderately well-drained, forming on nearby slopes from weathered shale. This complex represents a mix of shallow, rocky soils (Hector) with deeper, clayey soils (Homa) in the same general area, differing in drainage and texture due to underlying geology. Water: 4 established ponds, with 3 of them being stocked with bass, catfish, and bluegill. The bottoms of the valleys hold a multitude of small water holes that provide wildlife with water throughout the year. Wildlife: Free range North American Elk. White tail deer. Rio Grande turkey. Feral hogs. Coyotes. Bobcats. Fencing: Fair to poor. This property is not a cattle property. Roads & Accessibility: Over 10 miles of trails are established throughout the property.
