Property Overview
Country living takes on a distinctive character at 25614 State Highway 76 in Ratliff City, Oklahoma. Set on approximately 20 acres to be established by survey from a larger tract, this updated log-style home combines comfortable living space, substantial workshop facilities, a barn, pasture, mature trees, and a pond. With approximately 2,300 square feet, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a dedicated office, the property brings together residential comfort and practical space for country living, hobbies, equipment, and animals.
Originally built in 1973, the two-story ranch-style home has undergone extensive renovations, including a major remodel in 2026. Its interior retains the warmth of rustic construction through wood ceilings, exposed beams, and wood flooring, while fresh white walls and contrasting black kitchen cabinetry give the living spaces a more contemporary appearance.
A property with room for more than just a home.
Along with the residence, the offering includes an approximately 1,950-square-foot shop, a separate 40-by-30-foot steel-frame barn with an integrated animal shelter area, open pasture, a pond, a wet-weather creek, and a fenced backyard. The combination provides useful space for equipment, livestock-related activities, storage, and outdoor projects.

New Primary Suite
The brand-new primary suite includes a spacious walk-through closet and a generously appointed bathroom. The bathroom features a dual-shower-head walk-in shower and a large freestanding bathtub with its own built-in television, creating a comfortable private space within the home.

Land and Outdoor Features
The approximately 20-acre offering provides a mix of open ground, mature trees, pasture, and water features. Open pasture offers room for grazing or hay production, while the wooded areas add natural character to the surroundings.
A pond and wet-weather creek contribute to the property’s rural landscape. A fenced backyard provides a separate contained outdoor area suitable for dogs or small farm animals.
Covered Outdoor Living
A recently added covered outdoor living space provides an additional area for relaxing and entertaining. Its layout leaves room for a buyer to consider future additions such as outdoor seating, a cooking area, or a hot tub, subject to individual plans and suitability.
Workshop, Barn and Additional Structures
Approximately 1,950-Square-Foot Shop
The substantial detached shop offers approximately 1,950 square feet of additional space for equipment, tools, storage, maintenance work, and personal projects. Its size provides useful flexibility for buyers who need more than the storage available in a typical residential property.
40-by-30-Foot Steel-Frame Barn
A separate 40-by-30-foot steel-frame barn adds another significant improvement. The structure includes a built-in basement-style animal shelter area incorporated into the working pen area below. This arrangement offers additional functionality for buyers considering livestock or other agricultural activities.
Utilities, Water and Property Access
The property is served by rural water. An additional existing well is present but is currently unused. Its condition, functionality, water quality, and suitability for supplemental use have not been verified. Any intended use should be preceded by appropriate inspection and water testing.
State Highway 76 provides the property’s stated road access. The rural location offers access to surrounding communities while maintaining a country setting.

Property Condition and Important Buyer Considerations
The home has received numerous updates, including the kitchen renovation, newly added primary suite, renovated guest bathroom, electrical improvements, new windows, and HVAC replacement. The property is nevertheless being offered in as-is condition, giving buyers the opportunity to evaluate the improvements and determine what additional work or personal updates they may wish to undertake.
The approximately 20-acre offering will be surveyed from a larger parent tract. Final acreage, property boundaries, and the legal description will be determined through that survey. The remaining acreage of the parent tract is excluded from the sale, and any illustrated boundaries are approximate.
Buyers should independently verify all measurements, acreage, access, property condition, improvements, utilities, water arrangements, and suitability for their intended use. The unused well requires separate inspection and testing before any reliance on its availability or water quality.
Living in the Area
Ratliff City is a small rural community in Carter County, with nearby communities providing additional education, healthcare, transportation, and everyday services. The following information provides regional context for buyers considering a property in this part of Oklahoma.
Area Overview
Ratliff City is an incorporated community in Carter County, Oklahoma. The 2020 U.S. Census recorded a town population of 64 residents, reflecting its small-community character and rural setting.
Carter County had an estimated population of approximately 48,910 in July 2025. Ardmore serves as the county’s principal population and service center, providing a broader range of shopping, healthcare, employment, and regional amenities.
The surrounding area is characterized by rural residential properties, agricultural land, small communities, and highway connections. Ratliff City has historical ties to the regional oil industry, which contributed to the community’s early development.
The nearby communities of Fox, Healdton, Ringling, and Ardmore provide additional options for services and regional activities.
Safety and Crime
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation publishes annual crime statistics by reporting law-enforcement agency. Its 2024 statewide crime report includes the Ratliff City Police Department.
Reported total crime figures for the department were:

|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 13 | 64 |
| 2023 | 4 | 64 |
| 2024 | 7 | 64 |
These are agency-reported totals, not property-specific statistics. Given the community’s very small population, the annual figures represent small numbers of reported incidents and should not be interpreted as a comprehensive measure of individual property or neighborhood safety.
Buyers seeking additional information can review the most recent available law-enforcement and county-level crime records and independently assess the information relevant to their intended residence.
Schools and Education
Fox Public Schools is an established public school district in the surrounding rural area. Its school facilities are located at 20214 State Highway 76 in Fox, Oklahoma.
The district provides an educational option for families in the broader Fox and Ratliff City region. Additional educational opportunities are available in surrounding Carter County communities.

Mercy Hospital Ardmore

Buyers should independently confirm the most appropriate healthcare facilities, available medical services, and travel arrangements for their needs.
Housing Market History
Historical housing-market information for Carter County is available through the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s annual All-Transactions House Price Index.
The index measures changes in single-family residential property values using repeat transactions and appraisal information. It is an area-level index, not a record of individual home sale prices or an appraisal of this property.
Carter County Annual House Price Index
| Year | House Price Index |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 190.07 |
| 2022 | 217.58 |
| 2023 | 244.34 |
| 2024 | 244.00 |
| 2025 | 249.29 |
The county index increased between 2021 and 2025, with the largest annual movement in this five-year series occurring between 2022 and 2023. The 2024 reading was relatively unchanged from the previous year, followed by an increase in 2025.
These figures describe broad historical county-level movements. They do not establish the current market value of an individual rural home, farm, acreage property, or improved parcel. Property type, land characteristics, improvements, condition, location, and comparable transactions all matter when evaluating an individual property.
The annual county index is a developmental FHFA measure and may be revised. Historical performance does not guarantee or predict future property values.
Transportation and Access
Ratliff City is served by an established state and local highway network. State Highway 76 provides the property’s stated road frontage and connects with the regional road network.
Oklahoma State Highway 7 is another important route through the community. The two highway corridors provide connections to surrounding rural communities and larger regional destinations.
Regional destinations identified in the property information include Duncan, Davis, Oklahoma City, and Wichita Falls, Texas. Dallas–Fort Worth is also accessible by regional road connections.
The area is primarily dependent on personal vehicles for everyday transportation. Buyers should account for driving distances, road conditions, and the availability of services when evaluating rural living.
Utilities and Connectivity
Water Services
Rural water systems serve communities in the surrounding region. The property itself is represented as being served by rural water, with an additional unused well present on the land. The well’s operational status and water quality have not been established.
Electricity and Other Utilities
Electricity is an essential service throughout the region, although the exact provider, connection arrangements, and service specifications for a particular rural property should be independently confirmed.
The availability of natural gas, sewer connections, septic arrangements, and waste collection can vary by property. Buyers should verify the actual utility infrastructure and any applicable service requirements for the surveyed parcel.
Internet and Broadband
Broadband options reported in portions of the Ratliff City area include fixed wireless, DSL, and satellite internet services. Providers identified in regional broadband availability information include Arbuckle Communications, 360 Broadband, Kinetic, Starlink, and other satellite or wireless services.
Advertised coverage and speeds for a community do not establish service availability at an individual rural address. Buyers who work remotely, stream media, or depend on reliable high-speed internet should check the exact property address with providers and independently verify speeds and installation options.
Regional provider information is not confirmation that any specific company currently serves this property. Property-specific utility connections and service availability should be verified before purchase.
