The Red Rock Ranch, arguably the Midwest’s most extraordinary ranch, is nestled along the banks of the Arkansas River in northern Oklahoma. Spanning 5,395± acres, this stunning property is bordered on three sides by the mighty Arkansas and reached by a single public road offering a naturally private and irreplaceable setting. This ranch boasts rolling hills of native grasses and stands of hardwood trees, with nearly nine miles of riverfront. The beauty and serenity of this natural setting are unmatched. The ranch is accentuated by the sensational Lodge, in addition to two superb matching cottages and a beautiful owner’s residence.
This ranch is an amazing showcase of Oklahoma’s outdoor scenery and topographical variations, abounding with wildlife, including deer, turkey, quail, ducks, bald and golden eagles, and various other species. Elevations on the property run from 870 feet along the river up to 1,070 feet on the highest hills. The Lodge and cottages, along with the owner’s residence, are perched on a bluff that sits 160 feet above the river in the northwest quadrant of the ranch. Sitting on the Lodge patio, one can gaze to the west to watch the river flowing towards the ranch from over five miles away. At the same time, you have a commanding view north across the lower bank of the river towards Ponca City.
With the stunning views from the extraordinary Lodge and the two spacious cottages, this is the perfect setup for family gatherings, group meetings, or corporate management retreats. Driving the ranch’s excellent gravel road system feels like traveling through a private park surrounded by a landscape preserved for generations. The unique location and excellent care the ranch has received over the last 45 years are what make the property special.
The hallmarks of Red Rock Ranch are many: world-class waterfowl, whitetail deer, and upland gamebird hunting; bird and wildlife watching; equine pursuits; working ranching and farming operations; and recreational opportunities that are nearly without limit. All of this unfolds across 5,395± acres of river-bordered land, reached by a single road, in a setting defined by genuine privacy and sanctuary that properties of this size rarely achieve. Land this diverse, this singular, with decades of stewardship, is simply scarce.
Having had only two owners in the last 45 years and having been meticulously cared for, the ranch is ready for a new owner. There is a hunting support structure in place, and the property has been well maintained, earning it the reputation as the premier wing-shooting and whitetail deer hunting destination in the Midwest.
With the stunning views from the extraordinary Lodge and the two spacious cabins, this is the perfect setup for off-season meetings or corporate management retreats.

The bluffs that line the river along the north side of the ranch feature astonishing rock outcroppings visible only to visitors to the ranch. You can easily access this incredible landform, as well as any of the remarkable features of this ranch, via the exceptional road and trail system. Eleven miles of maintained roads and 22 miles of trails for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and UTV exploration make the full scale of the ranch readily accessible.
This 5,395±acre oasis known as the Red Rock Ranch is bounded on three sides by nearly nine miles of frontage on the Arkansas River, the sixth-longest river in America. Truly, it is one of nature’s most dramatic landscapes one could ever hope to find. Grassy rolling hills, large stands of hardwood trees, and rock bluffs giving way to the sandy lowlands are all easily traversed by a large, extensive gravel road system totaling over 11 miles, and complemented by a hiking, biking, horseback riding, and UTV trails system of over 22 miles.
For the last 45 years the owners have taken this canvas and created a true masterpiece. The various improvements were designed and built by top professionals, including an extensive road and trail system across the ranch. The phenomenal living compound with the Lodge, the two cottages, and the owner’s residence, high up on a bluff that towers 160 feet above the riverbank, provides stunning views that must be seen to be appreciated.
The Red Rock Ranch has been meticulously cared for and is, therefore, in top condition and ready to be enjoyed by the new owner.
This northcentral Oklahoma ranch is located approximately 11 miles due southeast of Ponca City in Noble County, Oklahoma (approximately 19 miles by road). Tulsa is 85 miles east, Oklahoma City is 100 miles south, Wichita is 90 miles north, and Stillwater is 35 miles south of the ranch. Ponca City Regional Airport is approximately 25 minutes from the ranch and has a 7,200-foot precision runway with ILS/DME approach and can accommodate most aircraft up to and including heavy jet aircraft.
Ponca City was named after the Ponca Indian Tribe. Its history and economy are tied directly to the petroleum industry. E. W. Marland, the Pennsylvania oilman, came to this area and founded the Marland Oil Company, which at one time controlled ten percent of the world’s oil supply. This oil company eventually merged into what is now called ConocoPhillips. The nearby 101 Ranch Company had a division called the Bar L Ranch, which is now part of this Red Rock Ranch. The 101 Ranch Company fostered the famed 101 Ranch Wild West Show.

Hunting - Waterfowl
Waterfowl habitat at Red Rock is exceptional, being surrounded on three sides by the Arkansas River, along with hundreds of acres of cultivated farm ground along the river. The ranch also features a natural slough that floods seasonally. Additionally, being located seven miles south of the nationally recognized 17,000-acre Kaw Lake and seven miles northeast of the 5,400-acre Sooner Lake, the ranch naturally attracts birds moving to and from the lakes and the river to feed.
Hunting - Wing Shooting
The ranch has traditionally offered bobwhite quail, pheasant, and chukar hunting during its upland season. Hunters have a wide choice of cover to hunt, including feed strips, field borders, open fields, and oak woods and draws. Turkey hunts have also been offered.

Historical yields for wheat have been as high as 50+ bushels per acre, with corn averaging over 100 bushels per acre. Hay production is also impressive, with over 2,000 round bales produced in 2025.
