Surrounded by expansive neighboring ranches ranging from 2,000 to 5,000+ acres, this property offers privacy, seclusion, and prime conditions for managing and growing trophy-class wildlife.

-189 miles to Dallas

TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT

The terrain is as scenic as it is functional. From gently rolling hardwood ridges to open meadows and fertile river bottoms, this property offers a blend of cover and open areas ideal for both wildlife and agricultural potential.

-Varied elevations from 660’ to 900’

-11 ponds scattered across the property

-2.8+ miles of wet weather tributaries feeding into Beaver Creek and the river

-Prime soil and terrain for food plots, hay production, or grazing

-Abundant travel corridors and habitat for deer, turkey, waterfowl, and more

-Historical remnants like old barns add rustic character and a touch of local history

This mix of terrain provides an exceptional canvas for ATV/UTV exploration, hiking, and nature enjoyment. The ranch also offers excellent fishing in both the river and ponds, with bass, perch, and catfish commonly found.

WILDLIFE

With virtually no hunting pressure for over 50 years, South Canadian River Ranch is a wildlife sanctuary. The only individuals accessing the land in recent decades have been the ranch manager and his son. Species commonly seen on the property include:

-Whitetail deer (trophy potential)

-Wild turkey

-Ducks & other waterfowl

-Coyotes & bobcats

-Occasional elk and black bear traveling the river corridor

Thanks to the large, neighboring ranches and the river ecosystem, this property is primed for high-end hunting, wildlife management, or conservation.

AGRICULTURE

Decades ago, a portion of this property was farmed in wheat and milo. Those old tillable fields are currently grown over in a variety of grasses and other vegetation, and would make exceptional food plot locations. These fields, combined with various pipeline clearings, provide substantial acreage that could be attributed to wildlife habitat and forage.

WATER

Water is a defining feature of this ranch:

-1.5 miles of South Canadian River frontage

-.9 miles of Beaver Creek

-11 ponds and multiple wet-weather creeks

Two historic wells (hand-dug and drilled with metal casing)

These features support excellent water access for both wildlife and potential future development.

ELECTRICITY

There is a retired electric line near the river that has potential for reactivation. Electricity is currently available near the SW corner of the ranch.

MINERALS

Surface rights only; no minerals are owned or conveyed with the sale.

AREA HISTORY

Situated in the historic Choctaw Nation, this ranch has a rich local legacy. Acquired in the 1940s by a doctor and geologist, it was originally operated as a cattle ranch. The discovery of natural gas shifted the focus away from agriculture, and the land has since evolved into a wild, untouched recreational paradise.

South Canadian River Ranch is a rare, turnkey opportunity to own a premium recreational property in one of Oklahoma’s best-kept secret regions for big game hunting, fishing, and outdoor adventure. With stunning topography, abundant water, low hunting pressure, and a prime location surrounded by large ranches, this property checks all the boxes for a trophy-class ranch investment.

This ranch is a broker-owned property that is ready for immediate sale and stewardship.
