Rogers county is nice and has paved rural roads but land is expensive and stay out of Claremore, I live in Claremore and taxes, fees, electric is high, but land farther out is probably ok.
I have 435 acres for sale down here for $3000.00 an acre, will not divide if you are interested... 3 large ponds, good grass and the SE corner sits high up and you can overlook Duncan, great building site. Has water meter and electricity as well.... Only 3.5 hours from Tulsa... lol
Southeast of Cushing, Southwest of Drumright. The area east of Drumright might be a good fit you.
Used to run down to Newport and Huntington beaches pretty regularly. Orange County was pretty conservative when I was out there, but it's been about 15 years and I worked in aerospace so generally I was around like minded folks anyway. It sounds like all those undocumented democrat voters have really done a job on OC.
To your question the area Rawhide is talking about is pretty nice. I was driving through there this summer and thinking I could live out that way myself. I'm looking to do similar and get out of the city myself in a short time hopefully. One of the guys I worked with out there (from OK too) bought 160 acres just east of Stigler. It had a modular home on it and he actually got all the minerals too. Neither of us will come close to getting the deal he got. $87K. I'd do a mortgage if I could find that deal today!
Funny. I used to work for a company that cabled up all the phones for Disney's annual meeting here in KC. They used to always have it here because of Walt's roots here. Anyway, one early Sunday morning we were working and one of the execs from LA was looking out the window of the conference room and said: "Where's all the people!?! Where's all the traffic!?!" I told her it was Sunday morning...in KC. She said: "No way I could get used to living like this!" I said: "good"...under my breath.
I'm from CA, moved to Wagoner county 15 years ago while still living part of the year in Bear Valley/northern CA when I met my then wife who also was from Tulsa. Love it out here. Im close enough to Tulsa for city life and rural enough for country life, great home prices and values too, low property taxes and super inexpensive way of life. Near me I can jump on Creek T and be most any where quick-including Sapulpa, etc. I'm moving to New England now which will be like being back in Sunnyvale or San Fran and for sure will miss it here more than Nor CA and definitely San Diego where I was born and raised.
I gotta hand it to y’all. I would have never went to California period. I visited once back in 2004 and hated it. The further west we got the more hateful and unfriendly people became. And don’t get me started on their politics. I would get out of there ASAP. I wouldn’t want to subject my son to that kind of crap any longer than I had to. Glad to hear you are planning this out. I hope you find some great land and y’all are happy being back in the great state of Oklahoma!
I live in Tulsa County, just two houses north of the Creek County line. Simply for property tax purposes, definitely stay out of Tulsa County. Creek County is pretty good-sized so I'd think you could find some good land possibilities there. Finding 160 acres may be the limiting factor but shouldn't be impossible. I'd center my search around the triangle formed by Kellyville, Heyburn Lake, and Bristow. Easy access to I-44 for trips into Tulsa or OKC and Hwy 66 or 33 takes you to Sapulpa quickly.
$3K an acre out near Lawton? Why so much, especially for raw land?
Sort of the areas we are looking at. Cushing is starting to stretch the distance a bit.

Yeah, Orange County and always been a conservative strong hold but has slipped a bit in the last couple years due to the Mexican vote that has increased in some of the less desirable parts of the county and the millenieals that will hopefully grow up eventually and become conservative once they have to hold a job and move out of mommy and daddy's mansion on the coast.
I was born and raised in Newport Beach. I graduated from OSU as did my wife so when college was over i moved back home and my wife followed. I'm tired of CA and my wife wants to be near her folks as they get older. Not to mention, with my son's grades and his extracurricular activities he should have no problem getting into OSU which would be awesome to be back there by then too. Thanks for the kind words. We are looking for ward to the change.
Good to know about the Tulsa Taxes. The Bristow area seems to hold a lot of nice larger acreage at a reasonable price. We drove by some over Christmas but couldn't see much without access.
Can't buy the land now. We have a crap ton of equity built up in our home now and that money will go to the purchase of our OK property.
