Awhile back we decided to purchase some land for a few reasons. Most land within several hours of us in Texas was out of our price range. We found some land for sale in southeast Oklahoma for sale for a much cheaper price per acre than anything in Texas(besides Sanderson.)
We made a few trips up there to check it out. I had been through some of Oklahoma before but not this region. The area has some good hills to it. It is interesting what kind of terrain you can get to only 4 hours from DFW. It is also very remote, which is something we were looking for in land. The hilly areas are mostly owned by timber companies. In the valleys there is nice land used by cattle operations. They have some very fat cows up there compared to most cows in Texas. It might be they have better grass.
The tract of land we bought is up in hills between Honobia and Albion. There is not much to Honobia, mostly just a few houses and an RV park. The RV park is actually quite nice and the rates are cheap. They have a small cafe that is very slow but there is no reason to hurry anyway.
The Kiamichis are a band of ridges running east-west. They are steep, rocky, and heavily forested. Our tract is on the slope of a ridge, running from the bottom of the hills to the top. The hill is too steep for the land to have much use or value. There are plenty of pine, oak and hickory trees. I plan on hunting up here and offroading. The place is good for shooting guns too, as the nearest house is about 3 miles down the road. Future plans for property include: making a gate, a small cabin, and clearing some trees.
