This unique 45-acre property sits just 6.2 miles from McAlester on a paved county road, offering the best of country living with easy access to everything you need. Rolling terrain gives the land its character. About six acres are open, while the remainder ranges from lightly to heavily wooded.
On a hill with gorgeous views of Talawanda Lake, which sits just across the road, you'll find the greenhouse and shop, surrounded by large, stately Oak trees. It's an ideal spot to watch the sunset, and a natural choice for the home you've been dreaming of building.
The 30' x 32' greenhouse is ready to work. It features two large fans, a wood stove, water, and 125 AMP electric service. A 30' x 50' stem wall with gravel is already in place for a second greenhouse, making it easy to expand. Whether you want to grow your own healthy food or sell your harvest at the McAlester Farmers Market, which runs Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday in season, the infrastructure is here.
The property also includes a shop, city water, a water well with a working pump that can also be used for irrigation, and a propane tank. Fencing runs along the county road and the east side of the property. Water is a defining feature of the land. Coal Creek meanders through the property for about 900 feet and forms a large slough, and a seasonal pond adds another water feature.
This abundant water supply draws Whitetail Deer and flocks of Turkey, and squirrels and dove are plentiful too. Waterfowl are attracted to the slough and creek, adding even more hunting options. Deer are often found resting beneath the big Oaks near the greenhouse.
For hunters and wildlife lovers, this is a rare find. Outdoor recreation is close at hand. The property is centrally located near Eufaula Lake and McAlester Lake, and directly across from Talawanda Lake, so fishing, boating, and other water activities are never far away.
McAlester, a community of around 19,000, offers a hospital, medical clinics, a cancer treatment center, shopping, restaurants, and schools. For entertainment, there is a movie theatre, skating rink, bowling alley, and gaming centers, along with many local churches.
The McAlester Expo Center hosts the Italian Festival, car shows, a home and garden show, the County Fair, rodeos, basketball competitions, and more. The property is also well positioned for travel.
