DESCRIPTION: Located approximately 25 miles northeast of Pawhuska, is the 436± acre Dry Creek Ranch, a hunter's paradise connected to the infamous Western Wall of Osage County. The ranch's south boundary borders the Western Wall's primitive hunting unit, well known for trophy white-tailed deer and excellent quail habitat. Atop the premium wildlife opportunities, this property also offers excellent grazing and is comprised with both native and introduced forages. Dry Creek merges with Pond Creek on the ranch creating almost 2 miles of unparalleled riparian wildlife habitat.    Historically, the property has been managed for both grazing and trophy whitetail hunting with very selective harvest rates. The topography provides approximately 150' of elevation changes ranging from mature hardwoods found in the riparian areas to an upland mosaic of Cross Timbers native vegetation.      The diversity of this ranch is ideal for someone interested in both livestock production and outstanding hunting opportunities.    Acreage:  The 436 acres +/- located in Osage County Oklahoma and therefore sells as surface only.    Location:  • 7 mi from historic Elgin, KS  • 22 miles from Sedan, KS  • 25 miles from Pawhuska, OK  • 35 miles from Bartlesville, OK  • 80 miles from Tulsa, OK    IMPROVEMENTS: The 3500 sq ft custom modular home includes 4 bedrooms, an open kitchen, 2 living areas, 3 full baths (including handicap accessible), walk-in closets and office. Additionally, there is a permanent whole home dual fuel generator in the event of outages. The headquarters area includes a shop with concrete floor, storage containers and steel pens. There are multiple pastures and traps connecting to the main set of pens suitable for processing cattle and ease of handling. All perimeter fencing is 5-wire with steel corners in good repair. Most of the internal cross fencing has been built within the last 5 years.     GRAZING/ FORAGE MANAGEMENT: The ranch is currently utilized as a cow-calf operation and rated at approximately 60 AU. There is approximately 230 total acres of bottom ground and 130 acres of open improved forage pastures. An experienced forage manager will quickly see the upside with a moderately aggressive forage management program including soil amendments. The favorable climate of the area is ideal for implementing additional cover crop/overseeding mixtures to both enhance soil health and diversify the forage base of the ranch. Stockpiling forage and winter grazing should be easily accomplished on the bottomland soils with the multiple pastures and suitability for cool season forages.    RECREATION / WILDLIFE: Numerous ponds and creeks on the ranch provide endless opportunities for fishing and waterfowl hunting. The riparian areas serve as excellent travel corridors for deer and other wildlife species. The upland hardwoods provide areas of browse as well as opportunities for bedding and cover. The ranch also provides numerous locations for the development of food plots and/or feeding areas. This area of northern Osage County, near the Kansas border, has consistently produced outstanding white-tailed deer and turkey hunting.    Whether you're interested in trophy hunting with your family or would like to establish a hunting lodge utilizing the current structures, this ranch offers excellent opportunities with the potential for grazing income as well.    As previously mentioned, the ranch's southern boundary directly borders the Western Wall Primitive Hunting Unit.
