DESCRIPTION

Overview: The Lampton Ranch on Rock Creek is a charming 155+/- acre combination recreational and agricultural production ranch with excellent raw features, productive grass pastures to graze or bale, timber to hunt and working pens to facilitate onsite livestock management. The property boasts interspersed hardwood timber, fertile/productive pastures and a short distance to local towns, restaurants, gas stations & area attractions. Small creeks and drainages offer seasonal live water sources and lend well to wildlife habitat, Rock Creek traverses the property in the NW corner for a short distance before draining into the Kiamichi River off the property. Rolling topography with towering pecans & oaks scattered throughout productive pastures inspire thoughts of potential home sites. Whitetail deer populations in this area are plentiful, with some recent P&Y bucks being harvested in the immediate area. A newly constructed bridge across Rock Creek on E 2090 Rd. has improved access to the property, while trails throughout the property facilitate access to all corners & fences.
