Description
Properties like this are nearly impossible to find. This historic Ozark homestead, originally constructed in 1935, sits on a remarkable tract completely surrounded on all four sides by the Ozark–St. Francis National Forest, offering unmatched privacy, direct access to thousands of acres of public land, and a true legacy ownership opportunity. The original home still stands and could be refurbished, presenting a rare chance to restore a piece of history or create a unique cabin retreat. With Highway 16 frontage and utilities available, this property provides rare accessibility while still delivering total seclusion. Set along a scenic ridge, the land offers breathtaking views to both the north and south, creating multiple prime building sites for a home, cabin, or family retreat. Water is abundant and diverse, featuring an excellent flowing spring, two ponds, and even a private lake stocked with fish - a rare combination that enhances both recreational use and long-term value. The land includes a balanced mix of open pasture and mature timber, creating ideal conditions for livestock, recreation, or simply enjoying the natural setting. This property offers exceptional wildlife habitat, supporting deer, turkey, and black bear, and is well-suited for hunting or nature enthusiasts. The entire tract is fenced with multiple gated access points, and an established trail network provides easy navigation across the property. A unique feature is the rock quarry, which now serves as a natural private shooting range, adding even more recreational value. Whether you're looking for a private estate, working farm, hunting retreat, or legacy property, this tract delivers on every level. With mineral rights conveying, abundant water, a National Forest boundary on all sides, and infrastructure already in place, this property truly checks every box buyers are searching for.
