Beyond the winding drive and beneath a canopy of towering trees, this 50+/- acre property bordering the Ouachita National Forest feels like a hidden storybook retreat in the Ouachita Mountains.

The kitchen serves as the heart of the home with black granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, generous prep space, and a large island made for lingering conversations and shared meals. Neutral finishes and multiple flex spaces throughout create a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere with room for a home office, media room, game room, or studio. Outside, the land invites all types of wildlife, adventure, and quiet moments alike with direct access to hiking, ATV riding, horseback riding, hunting, wildlife viewing, and the natural beauty of the national forest. A 30x50 shop with attached 13x50 lean-to offers space for equipment, recreational vehicles, and outdoor gear.
