Sand Point · active
The quietest, most secluded community on Texoma's Oklahoma side — calmer Washita-arm water, and one of the shortest drives from Dallas–Fort Worth.
Live MLS listings, updated continuously.
Sand Point is a small, unincorporated lake community — a census-designated place of about 250 residents — on the Oklahoma side of Lake Texoma, in Bryan County (not Marshall County, like most of the lake's other Oklahoma communities). It sits on the east shore of the Washita arm, the tributary arm where the lake narrows from its wide main body. It's roughly 12 miles west of Durant — the county seat — and about 3 miles southwest of Mead, reached off Highway 70 down North Sand Point Road.
One naming note worth knowing up front: the community is “Sand Point” (two words), but the platted neighborhoods read “Sandpoint” — the Sandpoint Homesite Subdivision and a later 2nd Sand Point Supplemental Homesite Subdivision. You'll see both spellings in listings and county records, so don't let it throw you.
Here's the honest framing up front: of the Oklahoma-side communities we cover, Sand Point is the quietest and most rural. That's exactly the draw for the right buyer — and the thing to be clear-eyed about for the wrong one.
Sand Point sits on the Washita River arm, not the open main body. The water here is calmer and more sheltered — a narrower channel and more protected coves — which suits anglers and anyone who'd rather not fight main-lake wind and boat traffic. The honest trade-off: the Washita arm runs shallower than the main body, so in drought years it shows low water sooner. As of mid-2026 the lake is sitting near full pool (around 617 ft, roughly 100% of normal), but Texoma swings with the weather, and the arm is the first place to feel it. Worth factoring into how close to the water you buy.
Two full-service marinas are close — and one of them is on Sand Point's own water:
Both are open and operating as of mid-2026.
Yes. Listings in the area reference public USACE boat ramps and recreation areas within easy reach, so you have dependable lake access whether or not you keep a slip of your own. As across the rest of Texoma, the Corps ramps are the reliable day-to-day option.
Same answer as the rest of Lake Texoma — and the same thing to verify before you buy waterfront. All shoreline is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Tulsa District) under its 2021 Shoreline Management Plan, and private dock licenses are required and not freely issuable; supply is tight lake-wide. If a listing advertises a dock, confirm the permit is current and ask USACE whether it transfers — a grandfathered or already-permitted dock carries real value and should never be assumed. Make it a condition of the deal, not a hope. For how Corps dock rules and lakefront ownership work across Texoma, see our Lake Texoma lakefront guide.
Sand Point is one of the more affordable ways onto the lake, which is a big part of why budget-minded buyers look here. Based on current portal activity: vacant lots run roughly $30K–$80K+ (a 1.3-acre wooded lot listed at $40,000 and went under contract in early 2026); rural and lake-adjacent homes range widely; and a few established homes with lake access carry automated value estimates in the $750K–$850K range.
One honest note on pricingThose are portal asking prices and automated estimates (AVMs) — not closed-sale medians. The numbers that matter for an offer are MLS-verified comps. Ask ADR for current Sand Point and Bryan County closed sales before you price or bid.
The platted neighborhoods — the Sandpoint Homesite Subdivision and the 2nd Sand Point Supplemental — carry recorded plat restrictions, so the rules depend on the exact lot you're looking at. There's no blanket countywide short-term-rental ban, but a subdivision's covenants (CCRs) can restrict rentals, building, or use. Two things to verify per parcel before you write an offer: the CCRs, and utility availability — many lots run on rural water and septic, with electric noted “along the road” but not guaranteed to a specific lot. Confirm, don't assume.
Silo Public Schools (Bryan County) serves the Sand Point and Mead area — the same district as neighboring Willow Springs. Silo voters passed a bond for facility improvements in November 2025, which tracks with steady demand along the Bryan County lake corridor.
Plan on driving for the real errands — that's the rural trade-off here, stated plainly. Durant (~15–20 minutes) is the nearest full hub: Walmart, grocery, restaurants, Choctaw Casino, and healthcare, including urgent care and the Medical Center of Southeastern Oklahoma for a full ER. Mead is about 5–8 minutes for the basics. There is no grocery or urgent care within a short distance of Sand Point itself, so plan a real trip for the big stuff.
This is Sand Point's strongest card: about 1.5 hours to DFW — one of the shortest drives from the Metroplex to any Lake Texoma community, and noticeably closer than the Marshall County communities at 2+ hours. Quick reference from Sand Point:
Sand Point has always felt like a quieter, slower-paced part of Lake Texoma to me, and that's exactly why some buyers love it. You'll find a lot of full-time residents here along with some seriously impressive lakefront homes — honestly, people don't always realize just how nice some of these houses are until they see them in person. One thing that makes this area different is the protected coves, because some of the lakefront homes here actually have private docks, which can be hard to come by around Texoma. If your idea of lake life is relaxing at home, enjoying the view, and having easy water access, this can be a really strong fit. But if you're looking for marinas, bars, sand beaches, or a busy social scene, you'll probably find yourself leaving the area for the fun and coming back here for the peace and quiet. I generally feel very good about buying in Sand Point long-term because quality lakefront in protected water tends to stay desirable.
Quiet, rural, and genuinely secluded. The population skews older — a median age in the low 50s — and it's primarily a full-time retirement and weekend second-home community rather than a resort scene. Days here are built around the lake and the land: fishing the Washita arm (Texoma is the only inland lake in the country where striped bass reproduce naturally), boating and kayaking calmer water, hiking and deer hunting on adjacent Corps land, and the Willow Wipeout nearby in season. If you want lake proximity without lake-resort crowds — and you don't mind driving for groceries — it's a strong fit.
The honest drawbacks, so there are no surprises:
A few things worth watching. Silo Schools' November 2025 bond signals continued investment in the Bryan County lake corridor. A 50-acre parcel just north of Sand Point — near Corps land by Willow Springs — was listed in 2025 as one of the last large undeveloped tracts close to the lake, a sign of development interest in the area. And lake-wide, the Pointe Vista / Hard Rock momentum on the Marshall County side tends to lift overall Texoma activity and values, Bryan County included.
Talk to someone who actually sells this end of the lake — the Washita-arm water, which lots have real access, comps, and what's worth the drive up.
