160 Acres in Mount Ida, AR - $975,000

Home and Cabins on 160 +/- Acres Completely Surrounded by Ouachita National

Located just west of Mount Ida, Arkansas and completely surrounded by the beautiful Ouachita National Forest sits this 160 +/- acre tract that is truly one of a kind! The 160 +/- acres are composed of oak, hickory, and pine timber, predominately being white oak. The topography throughout this tract is nothing short of breathtaking, with long ridges tying into saddles and draws, giving great vantage points to see through the mature timberland. Along the southeast corner of the property the South Fork Ouachita River meanders through the picturesque landscape. Along with this frontage on the South Fork Ouachita River, there are two year-round creeks on the property. ATV trails traverse the landscape, giving great access throughout the woodland.

Absolute seclusion will come to mind as you wind down the gravel drive that makes its way up the ridge to the home. The home is approximately 1,400 square feet, containing a living room with a wood burning stove, a dining room with a wood burning stove, a bedroom (with a walk-in closet), a kitchen, an office, 1 bathroom, outdoor shower, storage room, and two screened in porches. The dining room, living room, and bedroom have mini-split air conditioning units, wall-mounted propane heaters, and DC ceiling fans. This home is rich with history and finished with quality materials that are nearly impossible to find, such as the sunken cypress lumber throughout the living area. A load house just down the ridge from the home contains the solar equipment that powers the homestead, along with a sink and washer and dryer hookups.

Down the gravel drive from the home and atop a smaller ridge there are three cabins accompanied by a bath house. Each cabin is built with its own uniqueness, with modern conveniences tied into traditional fixtures. The first cabin is 540 square feet, with a 240 square foot screened-in back porch, and 240 square foot covered area in the front. This cabin has a woodburning cookstove, a large sink, a full-size DC refrigerator inside, and an apartment-size gas stove on the screen porch. It has no air conditioning at this time, although it has been wired for a mini-split air conditioning unit. It has four DC ceiling fans, two of which are on the screened-in porch. The second cabin is 288 square feet, with two 144 square foot porches, with one of those being screened. This cabin has heat and electricity, but the only water is an exterior spigot. The third cabin is 320 square feet, with 6’x20’ porches front and back. This cabin is currently used as a pottery studio. A separate bathhouse convenient to all three cabins has a shower room with a shower, tub, and sink, a separate half bath, another room for a washing machine, and an outdoor shower.

Storage on a property such as this is a must-have. A 24'x36' pole barn along with another smaller tool shed at the main home give plenty of room for storage for all of the items that you will need on this property.
