Williamsburg-Style Home with a 3-Stall Horse Barn

This Williamsburg-style home with a 3-stall horse barn is set on forty pristine acres on the outskirts of Muskogee within an hour’s drive of downtown Tulsa, in northeast Oklahoma.

To see an interactive map of this property, click here.

When the owners were designing this home they were living in Virginia and going to school. They fell in love with the home styles found in colonial Williamsburg. They visited Williamsburg over the course of several years making notes about what they liked and desired to replicate in their own home, and so they took careful measurements of architectural details in order to be accurate in their design specifications.

They hired an architect to draw up plans and then in 1986 they completed their colonial Williamsburg-style dream home on forty acres in Muskogee, Oklahoma.

The result was exquisite: a country estate unrivaled anywhere in the state of Oklahoma. The home is authentic in its representation of the Williamsburg architectural style.

These Cleveland Bay Mares Love their New Home in Skiatook!

Tracy LeGrand shared this picture of her two Cleveland Bays prancing around in the snow at their new home in Skiatook, Oklahoma.

According to their owner, Tracy LeGrand these mares played in the snow most of the day.

These two Cleveland Bay sisters were born in Swansea, Wales (UK) and when they arrived in the USA their hair was about 4 inches long. So they seem to come alive in the snow!

Cleveland Bays are considered a heritage breed of horses. They are so rare, in fact, that the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (the ALBC) has put them on their critical list of endangered horse breeds.

According to the Cleveland Bay Horse Society, the Cleveland Bay is England’s oldest horse breed, with a history that goes back further than when records started being kept.

For more information about this breed, contact the Cleveland Bay Horse Society of North America.

The Spavinaw Water Project Provides Water to Tulsa, Oklahoma

Where does Tulsa’s water come from?

The Spavinaw Water Project provides water to Tulsa, Oklahoma.

An Anecdote about Tulsa’s water in the Early Days

When I first moved to Tulsa in 1984, I visited my parents in Houston, Texas.  My Uncle Jimmy (James G. McMurty, Jr.) came over for dinner while I was there and we got to talking.  He said, “I lived in Tulsa when I was a kid.”  I said, “Oh, really? What was it like?”  (I had totally forgotten that his father had been one of the early presidents of the University of Tulsa .)  He said, “The water tastes bad… at least it did then.”  I said, “When was that?”  He said, “1912.”

I hadn’t thought about water tasting bad in a long time.  As a child I was a real critic of the way water tasted.  I remember as a kid living in Brewster, NY how much my sister Meredith and I loved to come home and drink Brewster water.   My parents had an artesian well at our house and the taste was really good.  There were a lot of iron mines around our village, and I don’t know if that had anything to do with how good the water tasted or not.  It was wonderful.  We hated drinking water anywhere else.

In 1984 I really hadn’t thought about water quality or the flavor of Tulsa’s water.  In my brain the water in Tulsa in 1984 tasted pretty good — for city water.

Tulsa’s Water Quality in 2014

The quality of Tulsa’s water has significantly improved in the past 100 years.  Here is a link to Tulsa’s Annual Water Quality Report — 2014.

The Creation and Expansion of the Spavinaw Water System

Horse property for sale near tulsa ok

John Durkee and Debbie Solano in front of the dam at Lake Spavinaw.

So, where does Tulsa’s water come from?  Tulsa’s water is piped in from the northeast from Spavinaw Lake and Lake Euchee.

The Spavinaw Water Project began in 1920 as the result of a search for a source of good quality fresh water for the City of Tulsa.

Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia (as the article stands today, July 2, 2014):

References[6]

Spavinaw Creek just east of the Highway 82 / Highway 20 bridge. Notice the granite outcropping along the left bank.

The first official mention of Spavinaw Creek, as a potential water source for Tulsa was a letter from the Mayor of Tulsa to the Secretary of the Interior requesting government engineering aid in solving Tulsa’s water problem. The letter indicated both Spavinaw Creek and Grand River as potential sources. However, no action resulted from this request.[1]

T. C. Hughes, City Engineer, studied government topographic maps and concluded that water could flow by gravity from Spavinaw to a point west of Catoosa, Oklahoma. Hughes included this in a report he published in 1912, estimating the cost at about 100 million dollars.[1]

In 1920, the Tulsa mayor appointed a non-partisan water board. The board, in turn, hired J. H. Trammell to perform as the engineering contractor to plan the Spavinaw project, with W. R. Holway as his assistant. Trammell later left the firm and Holway took over as project manager. Trammel and Holway found that the gravity flow process previously advocated by T. C. Hughes was not only feasible, but could carry water as far as Lake Yahola, much closer to Tulsa that Hughes had estimated.[1] The board then hired George W. Goethals to review the plan and cost estimate. Goethals assessed that both were feasible and practical, and that Trammel’s cost estimate of 6.8 million dollars was adequate.[1]

Groundbreaking for Spavinaw Dam, near the town of Spavinaw, Oklahoma and about 55 miles northeast of Tulsa, occurred October 19, 1922. It created Lake Spavinaw, which was fed by Spavinaw Creek, a perennial stream that drained 400 square miles of Ozark Mountain foothills and a tributary of Grand River (Oklahoma). The lake has a normal surface area of 2.5 square miles and a capacity of 72,400 acre-feet. The normal storage volume is 38,000 acre-feet.[6] In 1922, a pipeline was begun to bring this water to Lake Yahola, located in Tulsa’s Mohawk Park. The project cost $7.5 million. This has been the principal source of Tulsa’s domestic water since then.

Lake Yahola has a capacity of 2 billion gallons.[7] The dam was completed in 1924.[1] The line became operational in 1924, and was the longest such line in the U. S. at that time. Five years later, the city completed the Mohawk Water Treating Plant. This plant currently has a capacity to treat 100 million gallons per day of water.

Expansion of Spavinaw System

Tulsa also approved construction of Lake Eucha on Spavinaw Creek, a short distance upstream of Lake Spavinaw. Completed in 1952, Lake Eucha effectively expanded the storage capacity of the Spavinaw system.[2]

Tulsa completed a second Spavinaw pipeline in 1954, doubling the capacity. According to the City of Tulsa, the average monthly water pumpage rate in 2009 was 103 million gallons per day (MGD). The range during that year was 81.5 MGD in February to 138.2 MGD in July.[2]

Why Do You Need Flood Insurance?

Why Do You Need Flood Insurance?

According to Edward L. Connor, Deputy Administrator, Insurance, for the Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, “Floods can bring, mud trash and, if you don’t have flood insurance, debt.”

If your home floods, you will incur debt to recover after a devastating flood. Many people do not have enough in their savings accounts to pay the costs of recovering from a flood.

According to FEMA, “Over the past five years, the average paid claim for flood damage was $33,790.”

Your Mortgage Lender May Require You to Get Flood Insurance if Your Home is in the 100-Year Flood Plain

In order to pay for all the claims, FEMA has conveniently almost tripled the width of the flood plain, so that if you didn’t think you needed flood insurance in years gone by, you will be convinced by your mortgage lender that you need flood insurance now.

So rather than making the choice to get flood insurance, the federal government, along with the insurance industry has made it easy to decide. Flood insurance may be mandatory when a structure is in the flood plain.

Federal law requires people who own homes with a mortgage through a federally regulated and insured lender to carry flood insurance.

In short, if you have a mortgage loan and are now in a flood plain, you must carry flood insurance or your mortgage note is immediately due and payable. No kidding!

Even if you have lived in your home for sixty years and it has never flooded, you may have to carry flood insurance if you have a mortgage.

Your premium payments will help the federal government assist others who actually do get flooded out from time to time or once in a blue moon.

By purchasing flood insurance, you are not only protecting the home you love from the remote possibility of being devastated by a few inches of floodwater, but you are helping your neighbors in New York, New Jersey, Iowa, and Louisiana.

By purchasing flood insurance, you are being a good citizen as well as protecting your savings account from potential catastrophic losses.

You No Longer Have the Choice if You are In a High Risk Area

So even if you live on the edge of a high risk area, where you only have a one in four chance of flooding during the course of a 30-year mortgage, you no longer have the choice. You have to get flood insurance.

Admittedly, without flood insurance, recovery costs must come out of your own pocket. Why save for the eventuality when you can purchase insurance for much more money and never have to worry about managing your own savings. Just wait and see if you experience a flood and wait for FEMA to help you out.

That’s why you need flood insurance. Don’t you feel so much more secure in knowing that the federal government can better handle your money than you can? Just trust the National Flood Insurance Program.

If you don’t believe me and want to learn more about flood risk and flood insurance, go to Floodsmart.gov/highrisknow. To find agents in your area, call 1-888-724-6975.

The New Cowboy Dressage Challenge Tests

This looks like fun! The new Cowboy Dressage Challenge Tests seem to add some new activities to the basic dressage tests. The dressage arena certainly looks a bit different.

Does anyone know if this equestrian activity is being done anywhere in and around Tulsa, Oklahoma? Maybe in Claremore or Skiatook or Bixby?

Please make a comment and let us know!

Do you even know what dressage is?

When I was doing it my friends who came to dressage from riding in a Western saddle seemed to “get it” much more quickly than those of us who had come from a fox hunting or hunter-jumper backgound. That’s because cowboys ride more upright, centered over the horse’s center of gravity when riding “on the flat.” A jumping saddle pitches you a bit more forward so that you can be in a better position going over fences.

Are you looking for a farm or ranch with a dressage arena?

Or do you just want a roping arena?

Or perhaps you need a cutting pen?

The Arm Chair Rider’s Guide to the Olympic Equestrian Events

#HorseRiding used to be the best kept secret, not any more thanks to #SocialMedia and the #Olympics! RT to get #equestrian trending globally

— The ESMAs (@esmawards) July 24, 2012

I confess that there are few times I really want to watch TV:

    http://oklahomahorseproperties.com/blog/the-arm-chair-riders-guide-to-the-olympic-equestrian-events-883/
  • When the sky turns green and clouds start moving in opposite directions — good time to check the weather on TV
  • Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City
  • The Rose Parade in Pasadena California on New Year’s Day
  • Any televised event involving the British royal family
  • Occasional political debates involving controversial presidential candidates
  • The Olympic Equestrian Events:
    • Eventing
    • Dressage
    • Show Jumping
  • Women’s Gymnastics
  • Figure Skating
  • Ice Dancing

That’s it! End of Story! The truth is that I am a TV addict. If I had cable television I would never get anything done. I’d be glued to the tube all day long — just like I am glued to my computer screen.

So now that I am divorced and there is nobody telling me I cannot watch my favorite events on television (because they are too “boring!” — Hah! Don’t get me started….), I now really want to find a sports bar somewhere and watch the Olympic Equestrian Events on TV. Even if I did find a sports bar somewhere I’d be forced to watch track and field events, basketball, soccer, or anything other than what I want to see.

So last night I was pleased to discover that the Admin at Barnmice had posted her favorite links to the London 2012 Equestrian Events. I can follow the links and at least drool over the still pictures and occasional video feeds.

All the fun started yesterday with Eventing. It will finish up on August 9th with Dressage Grand Prix Freestyle to Music — my absolute favorite event. One of my goals in life is to participate in just such an event. It may take me a long time, but by golly I’m going to get there… once I get off my touchie, get away from the computer and start riding again. Enough said…

Here are the best links to the London 2012 Olympics Equestrian Events:

  • Equestrian Event Schedule
  • London 2012 Olympics Equestrian News
  • Watch the Events Live – NBC or Click Here or Via an App
  • [Here’s the joke: you still have to have a cable subscription to be able to get the NBC Live Streaming Video. How badly do I want this? Hmmmmmm….]
  • Watch the Events Live – CTV
  • Watch the Events Live – BBC
  • FEI Olympic and Paralympic Games
  • FEI Olympic Photo Gallery
  • The Equestrian Venue in Front of the Queen’s House at Greenwich Park
  • FEI Biographies of Olympic Riders

The best way to watch the Equestrian Events is to log into YouTube and google London 2012 Equestrian Events followed by the event or rider you want to watch and you’ll find lots to watch. I’ll post my faves on Twitter as I find good videos too. Follow me @dsolano.

This Historic Little Country House in Rural Oklahoma Sold Quickly

This historic little country house in rural Oklahoma is situated on 6-acres on a paved road in Mayes County, Oklahoma (in Adair, OK). It sold quickly — within two weeks of my listing it. 

Horse property for sale near tulsa ok

Historic little country house in rural Oklahoma, Adair, OK in Mayes County

How did this historic little country house in rural Oklahoma, a full hour from Tulsa, sell so quickly?

Some people would say it’s in the middle of nowhere.  I like to think that it’s convenient to everywhere, northwest of Adair, northeast of Claremore, east of Foyil, southeast of Chelsea, south of Vinita, southwest of Big Cabin.  How did this historic little country house in rural Oklahoma (on 6-acres in Adair) sell so quickly?

The buyer found this hisoric little country house quickly because she was looking for a small equine property and this one was priced right. I met the REALTOR® with her buyer to show the advantages of this historic little country house in rural Oklahoma:

  1.  Built in 1914, this historic little country house in rural Oklahoma is still standing after 98 years.  You just cannot say that about many homes in northeast Oklahoma.  We only became a state in 1907, and so to find a home built in 1914 that is still livable, updated, energy efficient, cute as a button, and capable of supporting a small horse training business with a reasonable price is pretty unique.  Just the fact that it hasn’t blown away in a hundred years is amazing.  It’s obviously in a good spot.
  2. It has high ceilings and two chimneys where wood stoves can be installed.
  3. It’s got those wonderful 1″ x 12″ baseboards that protect the plaster and lathe walls.
  4. It’s got extra insulation in the walls, in the attic, and under the floor.
  5. It has a beautifully updated kitchen that overlooks the five-acre horse pasture.  The kitchen appliances are energy efficient and the cabinets are high-quaility hickory wood cabinets with dovetail corners made by Kraft Maid.  The drawers glide smoothly.
  6. It has a Bosch tankless hot water heater.
  7. It has a new, energy-efficient furnace in the attic.
  8. It has insulated replacement windows.
  9. It has insulated steel exterior doors.
  10. The rooms seem large because of the high ceilings.
  11. It’s been rewired and replumbed.
  12. It’s got an old barn with a fraidy hole on the east side that could also be used to store garden implements.
  13. There’s a great little site for a garden plot near the little creek that crosses the property.
  14. It has three water sources:  rural water, a hand-dug well that’s begging for a little roof and a bucket to become a “wishing well,” and a thousand-gallon cistern located to collect rain water from the roof.
  15. This little pioneer house stood out in the Oklahoma countryside when it’s original family needed to be self-sufficient.

Why did this historic little country house rural Oklahoma (Adair, OK) sell so quickly?  Here’s the main reason:  My sellers did everything I asked them to do.  They were amazing.

  1. They priced it to sell.  They hired an appraiser and had a professional opinion as to the home’s value.  Then they priced it at the appraisal value rather than playing games.
  2. I showed them the competition.  Together we studied the market and realized that there was only a 5 percent chance of selling the house within 30 days.  We had a contract within 16 days.  My sellers knew that they had to go where the buyers were.  Since you cannot move the house, they decided to move the price to a point at which the house would be affordable and desirable.
  3. They made repairs and a few cosmetic changes.
  4. They put a full home warranty on the house that will cover the sellers and the buyer through the first year:  the AHS Flex-Plan Combo.
  5. They were willing to pay the buyer’s closing costs so that she could obtain an RDA loan.
