Oklahoma Hunting Land with free range elk

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.

Cabin: (2) High Cube shipping containers joined with a common metal roof. One container is finished out and includes two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. The second container has interior framing completed.

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.
