Osage County 18.2± acre residential home site in the Cross Timbers just west of Avant and north of Skiatook, OK. Build a house or a cabin in the second-growth oak forest overlooking a clear, spring-fed woodland pond. See the Milky Way in the starry night sky from your own private and secluded vantage point in the wooded hills north of Lake Skiatook.  Big Bend Estates is a rural residential subdivision on a peninsula on the bluff side of Bird Creek where it does not flood.  While the Osage Nation owns the mineral rights in Osage County, there are no oil wells on this property nor is there surface evidence of oilfield activity.  This property is really pretty and the woods are very walkable with abundant wildlife, including White-tailed deer.  The 1.53-acre± pond is stocked with crappie, perch, and bass.  Electric service is available from Verdigris Valley Electric Cooperative.  Rural water is available from Osage County Rural Water District No. 15 or you can drill a well.  An aerobic septic system will be necessary.  Because your home site is on a high hill, cell phone service and internet service is exceptional.  It only takes about 45 minutes to get to downtown Tulsa via Highway 11 and US Highway 75.  Just 18 minutes from Skiatook via Javine Hill Road and 20 minutes from Bartlesville.
