Anglers, outdoorsmen, bird watchers, wildlife lovers, and naturalists will find their paradise in this exceptional 270-acre M/L Victorian-inspired country estate, nestled on the southwest hillside of Sandy Ridge just southeast of Eufaula Dam, where the Canadian River runs deep and the crappie and bass fishing is legendary. Positioned on the coveted "blue" side of Lake Eufaula, just east of Brooken Cove, the property is just one mile from the dam and one mile from two U.S. Army Corps of Engineers parks Lady Bird Landing and Brooken Cove where the river channels reach 60 feet deep. All access via paved roads. Carlton Landing is 20 minutes away.
The farmhouse faces southwest, commanding sweeping vistas of Brooken Mountain and striking rock formations. Three ponds, two wet-weather creeks, one full-time creek, wooded trails, and open pasture make this property as functional as it is breathtaking. Deer are so accustomed to the peace here that they can be hand-fed in the yard. Wildlife includes white-tailed deer, ducks, quail, turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, and abundant bird life. Two producing gas wells are on the property, and the seller owns 3/4 of the minerals, which convey with the land.
