PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

** MOTIVATED SELLER** Tucked away on 50+/- acres backing directly to the Ouachita National Forest, this unique retreat offers privacy, peace & a true connection to nature. With approx. 3,700 sq ft, the home is filled with natural light from expansive windows that showcase ever-changing forest views. Mornings feel slower here, evenings quieter, & every season brings its own kind of beauty. The setting is cozy, peaceful & full of opportunity. The flexible layout includes 4 bedrooms & 3.5 baths. Upstairs features two bedrooms with solid hardwood flooring, including a serene primary suite with a private balcony—perfect for coffee, birdwatching & soaking in the views. Downstairs offers two additional bedrooms with tile flooring, ideal for guests, hobbies or multi-use living. Tile baths throughout add durability & easy maintenance. The large kitchen is both functional and welcoming, featuring black granite countertops, abundant prep space, and a generous island with plenty of seating—ideal for gathering after a day of exploring the land. Neutral paint colors and finishes throughout create a warm, inviting backdrop that’s ready for your personal touch. Multiple flex spaces allow the home to adapt to your lifestyle—home office, game room, studio or cozy movie nights. Step outside & the adventure begins. The Ouachita National Forest—established in 1907—is one of the oldest national forests in the U.S., spanning 1.8M+ acres across western AR & southeastern OK. Known for its rare east–west mountain ranges, it offers hiking & biking trails, waterfalls, scenic drives, clear streams, wildlife viewing, camping, ATV riding, horseback riding & stunning fall color. A 30x50 shop with a 13x50 lean-to provides space for equipment, projects & outdoor gear. Whether used as a full-time home, weekend retreat, or income-producing vacation rental, this property offers a rare blend of privacy, recreation & lifestyle—an escape that feels worlds away.
