Our 5 acres is located 22 miles from Ardmore(Ardmore is in south central OK, about 25 miles from Lake Texhoma, euidistant about 100 miles from OKC or Dallas). My grandmother has about 120 acres, and she has given my wife and I the southernmost 5 acres. White Pines that my granddad plated 25 years ago have spread into it(not a native tree to the area). On the west half there is a grove of maybe 20 or so that are 30-40 feet tall...very beautiful. the rest is kinda overgrown with scrub oak, red cedar, elm, etc. A lot has to be cleared, but there are some magnificent oak trees that are probably 60-75 feet tall...these will stay. We are looking into a manufactured home so we can get out there ASAP. I am so sick of living in town...there are 2 drug houses within 1 block of us, a child molester 2 blocks away, and various young punkks that wander the street day and night. We can't even let our kids out front to play. We are going home to the country as quick as we can so our kids can grow up in a good enviroment, and where we can live on our own terms. My grandma wants me to get a few cattle, we want a few pigs for bacon and sausage, more chickens for meat and eggs, garden room, and the peace of country living that I grew up in.
