Home on 40 +/- Acres Overlooking the Ozark National Forest
Nestled atop a serene hill, surrounded by the vast expanse of the Ozark National Forest, lies a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. This stunning home, perched on 40 acres of pristine land, offers an unparalleled escape into nature's embrace. The moment you turn onto the half-mile paved driveway from Peaceful Home Road, a sense of tranquility washes over you. As you meander up the drive, anticipation builds until you finally reach the hilltop, revealing the home in all its glory.
The front porch, encased in glass, presents a breathtaking million-dollar view, stretching out over rolling pastures and majestic mountain ranges. It's a vista that promises daily doses of awe-inspiring beauty, whether you're watching the fog lift in the early morning or enjoying a vibrant sunset.
Stepping into the home from the back entrance, you're greeted by a spacious open room designed for practicality and comfort. Custom shelving lines the walls, creating an ideal pantry and mudroom combination. To the right, a well-equipped laundry room awaits, complete with ample cabinets, a wash sink, and generous counter space for folding laundry. To the left, a convenient half bath and a cozy sitting room provide the perfect spot to remove garden shoes after a day of tending to the land.
The former garage has been transformed into a versatile space, brimming with possibilities. Whether you envision a game room, craft area, or additional living quarters, the abundant shelving and open layout offer endless potential. The chef's kitchen is a culinary dream, featuring elegant cabinetry, a gas stove, double wall ovens, and sleek stainless appliances. A picturesque window above the sink frames the natural beauty outside, making everyday chores a delight.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining area, accompanied by three closets with versatile shelving, perfect for additional pantry or linen storage. A door leads out to the backyard, inviting you to explore the outdoor space. In the den, a cozy fireplace beckons, promising warmth and comfort on chilly mornings. Imagine curling up with a cup of coffee, watching the mist rise over the mountains, and feeling utterly at peace.
The expansive living room is bathed in natural light, thanks to numerous windows, and features built-in shelving for displaying cherished mementos. Two generously sized bedrooms, each with their own private sink, share a shower and toilet, making it an ideal setup for family or guests. Both rooms boast large walk-in closets, ensuring plenty of storage space.
The master suite is a true sanctuary, with a spacious walk-in closet and a luxurious master bathroom adorned with double copper vanities. Custom French doors open onto a deck, perfect for savoring morning coffee or evening wine while soaking in the panoramic views. The deck connects to the front porch, offering a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living, even on rainy days.
Throughout the home, wood and tile flooring add to the charm, while modern amenities such as solar panels and a geothermal system provide eco-friendly energy solutions. The property also features a shop that doubles as a garage, a storm shelter, a hay or equipment shed, and a concrete pad with water, electricity, and septic connections where a modular home once stood.
For the avid hunter, this property is truly a paradise. Imagine pulling up to your new home and being greeted by deer grazing in the yard while the sounds of turkeys gobbling echo through the woods. This unique estate offers the perfect blend of comfortable living, agricultural opportunity, and exceptional hunting grounds. Envision yourself enjoying the thrill of the hunt right in your backyard, with ample space to run cattle and embrace a rural lifestyle. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or simply love the outdoors, this property promises an unparalleled experience, making it an ideal sanctuary for both living and recreation.
Recent updates include a new metal roof, kitchen, pantry, and laundry room additions, and a resurfaced driveway. The property is equipped with Arkansas Valley Electric, Wave Rural internet, and excellent 5G phone coverage with T-Mobile. A reinforced bridge over the creek and a newly dug pond in the pasture are the finishing touches to this exceptional property.
One of the highlights of this location is its proximity to Natural Dam Falls, just about half a mile from the driveway. It's a delightful spot to visit, easily accessible by hopping on a Polaris with the kids for a fun wade in the water. The property itself has accommodated cattle grazing, with a well-set-up barn. Wildlife enthusiasts will also appreciate the occasional sighting of black bears, adding to the natural charm of the area.
This hilltop home in the Ozarks is more than just a place to live; it's a haven where you can truly connect with nature and enjoy a peaceful, fulfilling lifestyle. With its stunning views, modern amenities, and thoughtful updates, this diamond in the rough is a rare opportunity you won't want to miss. I would love to be your guide on this property!
