Never sold land before, or tried to sell in Alfalfa County and got nowhere? Here is what is different with us.
Never sold land before
“I inherited land I’ve never even seen. I just want it handled.”
One call, and we handle the rest. No need to visit, list it, clean it up or know anything about land sales. We research the parcel, order the title work and do the paperwork. Written offer in 24 hours, and you can sign from home, even from out of state.
Tired of waiting
“My land’s been listed for a year and nobody’s serious.”
We buy on your timeline. Land can sit for a year or two, and with higher interest rates fewer buyers can get a loan for it. We don’t need one. Written offer in 24 hours, and we aim to close in about 30 days, never past 45 once the title is clear.
Burned by the usual process
“The buyer backed out at the last minute, and my realtor stopped calling back.”
We’re not a traditional buyer. No appraisal, no loan officer. We pay cash from private investor capital, so there’s no loan to fall through. No back-and-forth either: one written offer with every cost listed.
Just want it easy
“I just want it done without paying fees or chasing paperwork.”
We pay all closing costs and do the paperwork. Title, closing fee, notary, recording and deed stamps are on us. Any mortgage, liens or back taxes are paid off by the title company from the sale at closing, so you don’t need cash up front.
Free, and you can say no.

Selling land in Alfalfa County: what to know before you sell
Alfalfa County is wheat and oil country on the Kansas line, named for the crop and for Governor Alfalfa Bill Murray. It was cut from Woods County at statehood in 1907. Tracts here tend to be large, leased to a farmer and sitting on old oil or gas leases, often owned by heirs far away.
The 2020 Census found 5,699 residents on 866 square miles of land. Cherokee, the seat and largest city, had 1,476. The incorporated towns are Aline, Amorita, Burlington, Byron, Carmen, Goltry, Helena, Jet and Lambert. Voters made Cherokee the seat in January 1909 over Carmen, Ingersoll and Jet.
Before the 1893 land run this was the Cherokee Outlet, leased to cattle outfits such as the U Ranch near Driftwood. Germans from Russia, many of them Mennonites, settled around Ingersoll, Driftwood, Cherokee and Goltry. Towns the railroads skipped faded, which is why so many old townsite lots now sit idle.
The county ranks second in Oklahoma for winter wheat. In 2012 it was second in natural gas, behind Woods County, and fifth in crude oil, so mineral and surface ownership are often split.
Long before the land run, Osage hunters under Chief Black Dog cut a trail from near Baxter Springs, Kansas, to the Great Salt Plains, wide enough for eight riders abreast and later called the first improved road in Kansas and Oklahoma. Today Ralstin Island in the lake, closed to the public, shelters herons, egrets and ibis, and the water is about a quarter as salty as the ocean.

Paying the clerk in Cherokee: Alfalfa County deed costs
The County Clerk’s fee page lists $8 to record the first page of a real estate document and $2 for each added page, plus a $10 preservation fee on every document. Add the state’s documentary stamp: 75 cents for each $500 of price, so a $200,000 wheat farm owes $300. Our deed stamp calculator handles any other number. We pay all closing costs (title, closing fee, notary, recording and deed stamps), and there is no commission. Only a mortgage, liens or back taxes owed on the land come out of the sale proceeds, paid off by the title company at closing.
Not getting a tax statement does not stop interest, the Treasurer warns. Keep your mailing address current, especially if you live out of state.
What kind of land sells in Alfalfa County
The Salt Fork of the Arkansas and the Medicine Lodge River cross red-bed plains planted mostly to winter wheat. Great Salt Plains Lake and its wildlife refuge sit east of Cherokee. Expect cropland, grass, hunting ground near the refuge, oil-lease tracts and old town lots.
- Wheat ground. The county’s staple. The USDA put the 2015 crop near 6 million bushels, with sorghum too.
- Salt Plains country. The Corps of Engineers closed the Salt Fork dam in 1941. The lake covers about 9,300 acres, averages four feet deep, and its shore is known for selenite crystals.
- Hunting tracts. Ground near the refuge and the river bottoms draws deer and bird hunters. Selling hunting land.
- Wind and oil leases. Part of the 1,485-megawatt North Central wind project covers areas of Alfalfa County, and oil and gas wells date to statehood. A recorded lease passes with the land.
- Old townsite lots. Ingersoll and Driftwood were no longer incorporated by 1980; we buy platted lots there too.
Minerals: we buy with or without mineral rights. If someone else already owns the minerals under your wheat, that is fine with us. How minerals work in a land sale.
Benchmark: OSU’s 2021-2023 figure for Alfalfa County sales of 40 acres or more is $2,174 per acre across 73 sales. Soil, water and road frontage move a real tract well off that number. County-by-county prices · ways to value land.

Selling Alfalfa County wheat ground with a tenant or a lease
Most Alfalfa County cropland is farmed by a tenant on a cash or crop-share lease, and many quarters also carry an oil, gas or wind lease. None of that blocks a sale. We read each lease, time closing around harvest and step in as the new landlord.

Questions about selling Alfalfa County land
How fast can you close?
We aim to close in about 30 days and won’t go past 45 once the title is clear. That time is for the title company to research the title. Because we pay cash, there’s no appraisal or loan approval to wait on. Need more time? You can pick a later date.
Do you buy land around Cherokee, Helena, Carmen, Jet and Aline?
Yes. We buy wheat ground, grass, river bottom and lots across Alfalfa County, including Cherokee, Helena, Carmen, Jet, Aline, Goltry, Burlington, Byron, Amorita and Lambert. Send the legal description or a nearby road and you get a written offer within 24 hours.
Where is the Alfalfa County June Resale held, and when is the list out?
The Treasurer holds it on the second Monday of each June. The property list comes out in May and is printed in the Cherokee Messenger and Republican before the sale.
Can I sell land near the Great Salt Plains refuge?
Yes, if it is private land. The refuge and the lake itself are federal, so the title work confirms where your parcel lines run before closing.
How much does Alfalfa County charge to record a deed?
The Clerk’s fee page lists $8 for the first page of a real estate document, $2 for each added page and a $10 preservation fee. State deed stamps are extra. We pay all of it.
My land has a wind or oil lease. Can I still sell it?
Yes. A recorded lease stays with the land and the buyer takes over the lessor’s side. Tell us the lease terms and we price the land with them in mind.
