Mountaintop views

Description

Located just south of Sallisaw, Oklahoma, this property sits atop Wild Horse Mountain. Wild Horse Mountain is a prominent local geographic landmark in the scenic Green Country region. Historically, the ridge and surrounding area gained their descriptive name from the wild, unbranded mustangs that historically roamed the rugged hills and dense timberlands of this eastern Oklahoma's terrain.

Positioned with scenic views of Kerr Lake Reservoir, this private property features a mostly cleared building site that gently drops down into heavily wooded acreage. It provides an ideal setup for a peaceful mountain home, a weekend getaway, or a scenic recreational basecamp.

The entry road showcases meticulous planning and heavy-duty construction designed for long-term durability. Built by a professional land contractor using a substantial 350 loads of shale and 150 loads of gravel, the road is engineered to split the property line and run its full length. Its generous 75-foot width is specifically designed to allow long trailers to turn with ease. Furthermore, careful attention was paid to water management, featuring an elevated roadbed, dedicated drainage runs, and three 18-inch tin horns to ensure proper runoff.

This versatile metal barndominium combines comfortable, low-maintenance living quarters with an expansive shop and high-clearance covered storage. Finished in classic two-tone tan and dark bronze steel siding with matching trim, the structure is built for durability and utility

The interior of this barndominium uniquely blends a spacious, industrial metal shop with a rustic, cabin-style living quarters built directly inside. The living quarters, at about +/- 800 sq ft, was also built with care and high-end amenities. The entry opens into a rustic, cabin-style kitchen defined by custom wood cabinetry with dark hardware and matching crown molding along the upper walls. Dark, speckled granite countertops wrap around the space, housing Kenwood stainless steel appliances-including a refrigerator on the right, an electric range, and an over-the-range microwave-alongside a dark undermount sink with a gooseneck faucet beneath a decorative, tile-framed wall accent. Large, multi-toned gray-and-beige stone-look ceramic tiles cover the floor, supporting a central wooden dining table set with four chairs and woodland-themed placemats. The room is illuminated by recessed ceiling lights, under-cabinet lighting, and a dark ceiling fan.

This cozy sleeping nook features a sturdy log-style bunk bed outfitted with rustic cabin-themed bedding. Positioned just off the main living or kitchen pathway, the alcove is accented by tile flooring and neutral wall tones. This additional sleeping area creates a warm, inviting space that seamlessly blends rustic charm with convenience.

Just beyond the sleeping nook is the bedroom. This bedroom features natural knotty wood planking across both the ceiling and the main accent wall, contrasted by neutral off-white textured walls with tan crown molding and matching baseboards. The floor is finished in large, mottled gray and taupe stone-look ceramic tiles. Fixed lighting and climate features include a central ceiling fan with five wide, woven-wicker blades, recessed ceiling lights, white HVAC vents, and two black industrial-style swing-arm sconces mounted on the wood accent wall.

This spacious full bathroom and laundry suite combines rustic warmth with high-utility design, featuring custom knotty-wood cabinetry, rich dark-veined granite countertops, an undermount hammered copper sink, and matching wood-framed mirrors with a recessed medicine cabinet. Durable, earth-toned slate-look tile flooring runs beneath high, crown-molded ceilings, connecting the vanity area to a full alcove tub/shower combination and a dedicated laundry space accommodating a full-size stackable washer and dryer. For maximum convenience and privacy, the toilet is situated in a separate adjacent room featuring dual-access entry from both the private living quarters and the main open area of the building.

This utility closet houses a comprehensive, wall-mounted mechanical system designed for efficiency and straightforward maintenance. Along the left wall, the incoming water line passes through a whole-house Aqua-Pure water filtration system paired with a brass pressure-reducing valve and quarter-turn shutoff valves. Adjacent to the filtration setup is a wall-mounted Rinnai tankless water heater, plumbed with copper piping, a flexible yellow gas supply line, and integrated service valves. These dedicated isolation and flush ports allow the entire plumbing network and tankless unit to be easily descaled, cleaned, and blown out for seamless winterization of the building.

This spacious, climate-controlled utility and recreational shop space features a high vaulted ceiling, white corrugated metal walls, color-matched screws, and durable speckled epoxy flooring. Designed for both function and relaxation, the open floor plan includes a comfortable lounge area furnished with a curved red leather sofa(conveys), a matching round ottoman, and a large flat-screen television on a wooden media console. Nearby, a black Harman wood-burning stove with an overhead vent pipe provides plenty of warmth. Along another wall, a built-in wooden cabinet counter houses a Kohler deep blue porcelain keyhole sink and modern faucet. The space also accommodates two commercial-grade garage doors. The doors are both powered by heavy-duty LiftMaster commercial-grade openers. Also included is the Whirlpool Gladiator refrigerator, Blackstone griddle, the Traeger executive grill/smoker, and all rustic taxidermy mounts adorning the interior walls.

Accessed through a French glass door, a versatile interior room features warm knotty pine tongue-and-groove paneling, recessed ceiling lighting, and the same seamless speckled epoxy flooring found throughout the building. Currently configured as an organized workshop and tool room, the space is outfitted with built-in wood cabinetry topped with durable workbenches and a slatwall track system for hanging tools and gear. Equipped with its own independent mini-split unit for dedicated climate control, this well-lit, finished room easily offers the flexibility to be converted into a comfortable additional bedroom, private office, or bunk room.

The building is climate-controlled by two outdoor HVAC condenser units: a Ruud Achiever unit and an Armstrong Air unit. The Ruud Achiever features a classic, boxy gray metal cabinet with a heavy-duty wire safety grille protecting its top-discharge fan. Positioned alongside it on a composite equipment pad, the Armstrong Air unit sports a modern, rounded-corner gray cabinet with louvered side panels for coil protection and a black concentric wire grille over its top exhaust. Together, this dual-unit setup, coupled with excellent insulation, easily handles the heating and cooling demands for the entire structure.

Moving to the outside, the home is perched on a wooded ridge with panoramic views of the Kerr Lake Reservoir. Plenty of storage is provided through a spacious attached carport with a gravel parking pad. The surrounding grounds are set up for both utility and outdoor living, offering a separate metal-roofed carport sheltering a white shipping container (conveys), an elevated gravity-fed diesel fuel tank (conveys), and a large black water storage cistern(conveys). Toward the rocky bluff edge, a maintained lawn dotted with mature hardwood trees leads to a freestanding, metal-roofed wooden viewing deck and a rustic metal fire pit ringed by natural boulder seating overlooking amazing views of the water. Numerous water spigots throughout the upper property are there for all your watering needs.

On the property, you will also find a dedicated building pad. This pad was strategically placed for the future residence to have amazing views that stretch out as far as you can see. The loads of shale elevate the pad to a height that water runoff will easily be controlled and diverted from the future home.

To access the lower property, loads of shale were brought in to construct the elevated dirt drive. The constructed drive, and its elevated height, should minimize erosion for years to come. In the bottom, you will find ample room for hunting opportunities. While on site, deer sign was easily seen, and a nearby deer blowing confirmed their presence.
