About 13506 N River Drive
There are places you visit—and places you FEEL. Tucked behind private gates on nearly 45 acres in PONCA HILLS, this storybook estate is one of them. Welcome to HIWOOD. Designed in 1941 by revered architect John Hyde, this beautiful home seems to belong to the land, surrounded by towering oaks and hilltop views stretching to downtown, the river and the bluffs. Inside, a great room with timbers, rich woodwork, walls of windows and the fireplace of your lodge retreat dreams. Outside, a private road leads to trails made for horses, hiking and adventure. And those mysterious garages tucked into the hillside and what lies within is even more remarkable: A SECRET TUNNEL to the home. Beyond, a blank canvas guest cottage, a picturesque barn, a screened gazebo and more. Eagles soar above. Wildlife wanders through. History LIVES here. But more than anything, there is a feeling that is hard to put into words: PEACE. This isn't simply a home. It's a world of its own—and perhaps, your next chapter.
