Description
Just minutes east of Tahlequah, this rare 75-acre tract offers a stunning blend of Illinois River frontage, Tenkiller Ferry Lake frontage, unmatched privacy, breathtaking sunrise views over the water, and outstanding investment and development potential in one of Oklahoma’s most desirable recreation destinations. Perfectly positioned at the end of a quiet county road adjacent to Greenleaf Nursery, the property provides true seclusion while still being conveniently close to town. It borders Carters Landing camping area/boat ramp and includes a potential (undeveloped) private right-of-access directly to Carters Landing Road, making future usability extremely attractive for personal enjoyment or commercial vision. The property features elevated building sites with sweeping views of the Illinois River, lake, and surrounding Ozark Mountain landscape, plus multiple interior trails that can be improved into road systems. Utilities are nearby with power along the west boundary and rural water available at the county road. In addition, the property adjoins approximately 230 acres of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land, allowing archery hunting and offering potential opportunities for future commercial recreation leases such as a marina, dock, or lake-use services. For investors, developers, or private estate buyers, the possibilities are outstanding—create a luxury private residence, multi-home retreat setting, RV or cabin park, or a short-term rental destination. Adding to its character, the property also includes the remaining shell of the historic home once lived in by legendary country artist Merle Travis, offering a meaningful touch of Oklahoma music heritage. Whether you envision a premier recreational retreat, income-producing investment, or a strategic development opportunity, this property is truly one-of-a-kind. Properties with river frontage, lake connection, privacy, sunrise water views, and historical significance rarely come available.
