What made Robbers Roost so special?
Some listings are houses. Robbers Roost was a story. The farmhouse was built in 1910 and had been thoughtfully remodeled so it kept its character while gaining the upgrades a modern owner needs. Around it were rolling hills, open pasture, and long views that glow at sunrise and sunset.

What did it take to sell a historic farm property?
Unique homes need a different approach than a typical subdivision listing. Here's what mattered with Robbers Roost:
- Telling the story. Buyers for a 1910 farmhouse care about the history and the craftsmanship, so the marketing led with both.
- Showing the land. A 3D virtual tour let buyers walk the house from anywhere, and aerial views helped them understand the acreage, pond, and barn.
- Documenting the upgrades. A new HVAC system, updated wiring and septic, and water filtration answered the first questions buyers ask about an older home.
- Reaching the right buyers. Farm and ranch buyers often come from out of the area, so the property needed exposure well beyond Durant.
- Clear terms. The listing was straightforward about financing: no rent-to-own or owner financing.
To our sellers: thank you for trusting us with a property you clearly loved and cared for. To the new owners: enjoy the sunsets from that porch.
What's the area around Silo Road like?
Robbers Roost sits in the countryside near Silo, a small community just outside Durant in Bryan County. It's rural enough for real acreage but close to Durant for groceries, dining, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, and everyday errands. Lake Texoma is an easy weekend drive, and U.S. 69/75 connects to North Texas.

The legend of Robbers Roost
Few farms around Durant come with a name people still remember. Local history records Robbers Roost as one of the stops on the old stage route that ran from Fort Smith, Arkansas, through the Choctaw Nation and on into Texas, alongside Nail’s Crossing, Cotton Trail Junction and Silo. Silo itself was named for its postmaster, Albert B. “Silo” Gates, and its post office served the area from 1893 to 1946. The town was surveyed in 1901, then slowed when the railroad went through Durant instead.
This farm carried the Robbers Roost name and the stories that go with it. A framed Bryan County Star feature titled “The Legend of Robber’s Roost” is part of the property’s keepsakes, and it shows how much local lore sits on this land.
Not to be confused with the better-known Robbers Roost cave hideout of the Coe gang near Kenton, in the Oklahoma Panhandle. This one is a Bryan County farm.
More than a century later, the porch still looks out over the same rolling pasture. Brian and Jonelle were proud to help the sellers pass that history to the next family.
From one 52-acre farm to four sales
When we took the listing, Robbers Roost was a single 52-acre property. A buyer of a 1910 farmhouse rarely needs all 52 acres, and land buyers on a smaller budget are a much bigger pool. So we shaped the parcel around what the farmhouse buyer needed, about 21 acres with the home, pond and barn, and sold the rest as separate tracts (the two 5-acre tracts went together to one buyer), each priced per acre off recent Bryan County sales.
| Piece | Size | Closed | Sold for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farmhouse, pond and barn (this article) | about 21 acres | Jul 18, 2025 | $625,000 |
| Quail Creek Rd tract | 10 acres (two 5-acre tracts combined) | Oct 10, 2025 | $65,000 |
| Widow Moore Ln, Tract 1 | 9.73 acres | Jan 30, 2026 | $165,000 |
| Widow Moore Ln, Tract 2 | 10 acres | Feb 2, 2026 | $165,000 |
The tracts were laid out as Tract 1 (9.729 acres), Tract 2 (10 acres), Tract 4 (5.009 acres) and Tract 5 (5 acres), shown on the aerials below. Tracts 4 and 5 were combined into a single 10-acre sale for one buyer. Breaking up acreage this way reached more buyers and brought a stronger price per acre than one large block would have.

Life on the farm
The land came with the kind of everyday scenes that no listing description captures: Jersey cows in the barn lot, a stocked pond, and sunsets that settle over the pasture.
