Some of you are aware, from my past posts, my wife and I will be moving to OK (wife is full Okie already) in about two years when our son graduates high school. With this, I am continually looking at properties of all sizes in all the counties surrounding Creek County.
There is one property that has caught my eye but I have a question about it. It has 160 acres and a lot of the features we are looking for with a home that is doable but would need a major remodel. Even though I was born and raised in CA I know by looking there is a sizeable pipeline cutting through the property from the NE to SW. With Google Earth you can track it right into Cushing. What I want to know is this. Is there any real downside to purchasing property with a giant pipeline going through it? What are the down-falls with it and also are there any benefits/compensation associated with this? I attached a pic of the property. You can see the North and East fence lines of the 160. Is this a steer-clear of property or not too big of a deal? The current owner has a shooting tower sitting atop a hill/rise on the pipeline open space with what looks like you could shoot a deer out to 1000+ yards or more.
FYI this property is just North of Hallett and Hwy 412
