LODGE ON 28.87 ACRES

This wonderful cedar log cabin and acreage join the Ouachita National Forest on its southern and eastern boundaries. Talk about a little paradise! This area is, in my opinion, the most beautifully scenic area of Oklahoma. The Winding Stair Mountains surround this awesome mountain retreat, with its mountain summits, valleys, hills and dales, creeks, brooks and rivers, as does the Ouachita National Forest.

The 28.87 Acres that this amazing homestead sets on is part of a large piece, 365 acres, of private land that is cloistered inside the boundaries of the National Forest. This is a very unusual and rare find that is being offered for sale. It is might rare that a property within the boundaries of the Ouachita National Forest ever gets offered for sale. And not only is it inside of the forest, this property actually joins the National Forest so the lucky owner can go right off his property onto the over 1.8 million acres of the ONF. Another extremely rare feature about this little oasis is that it has rural electric to the cabin provided by Kiamichi Electric Co-op. The electric power lines were grandfathered in years ago. Today, no more electric power lines are allowed to pass through the National Forest to get to private lands! If it wasn’t there in the past, it can never be obtained at present. At least, that is the way it was explained to me.

This nostalgic little hunting lodge is located approximately 1.2 miles off Holson Valley Rd on a nice graveled county forest road. Holson Valley Road is a nice asphalt paved highway that passes down the Holson Valley from SH 271 to SH 59 and it nearly parallels the famous national scenic highway known as Talimena Drive. Talk about Location! Location! Location!

This part of Oklahoma is reported to be one of the safest places in the United States to live during troubled times.

At only 16 miles from Talihina, Oklahoma, 31 miles from Poteau, Oklahoma, and 1 hour from historic Fort Smith, Arkansas, you are only minutes away from all the amenities one could want! it is only 3 hours from Dallas, TX and Oklahoma City and a little over two hours from Tulsa.

Fantastic hunting is available to the new owners! Whitetail deer, turkey, black bear and any other furry critters are abundant here. And LeFlore County even has a black bear hunting season, one of only 4 counties in the state of Oklahoma.

This awesome cabin is not just any run of the mill cabin. The logs and siding used to build this fortress are sold Red Cedar! This cabin will stand the test of time. It is very well built and the quality shows everywhere you look. If you do not already know, Red Cedar is bug proof and nearly rot resistant.

The home is very nicely appointed with many upgrades. My favorite enhancement is the genuine local flag stone inlaid floors throughout the entire cabin! These floors have been painstakingly fitted closely together like a giant jigsaw puzzle and are absolutely beautiful! These floors are merely a precursor for the uniqueness of this delightful cabin!

There are so many amenities about this retreat that I could write a book about it…but I won’t! I’ll just itemize some of them and try not to gush.
