This 1,280 acres of rolling grassland was initially purchased for hunting. It has grown in scope over time. The government designated a portion of the land as a riparian zone, and paid for fencing and part of the cost for a solar powered well to supplement rainfall. Next, an old well site was selected as the location for development. Two 19th-century heavy timber barns located near Dayton, Ohio, on sites scheduled for redevelopment, were acquired. The barns were an economical purchase, and we were fortunate to find local Amish craftmen to disassemble the barns, including their slate roofs, and re-assemble them in Texas. This also included a substantial amounts of stone used for retaining walls for what were originally “bank barns” built on sloping land, with grain on the upper level, and cows or horses on the lower level. In their restored adaptation, the basements have been eliminated, but the entire frame and all flooring and siding has been restored and re-used. The stone will now be siding on one of the barns, while some of the wood siding will be used on the interior walls, doors, and cabinets. This entire project is 100% off the grid. Solar and wind power generators provide power about 95% of the time, with a diesel generator back-up. Adobe bricks made onsite and in Oklahoma City are used on some of the outbuildings, including the well house and battery storage building, which also houses the electrical transformers and gear required for the generation and storage of electricity.
