Semi-Rural Property | Lite Rural Living

There are degrees of rural life, in my way of defining it. This property falls into what I call a semi-rural property for ‘lite rural’ living. It’s not far at all from a paved country road, and only a couple of miles to state highway 21.

It’ll take about 20-30 minutes to get to the nearest town of Berryville, AR, where you can find a Walmart Superstore, restaurants, other amenities and businesses. It’s about the same amount of time to go to Huntsville, a smaller city nearby.

Not the Skyscraper Kind of Cities

Neither Berryville or Huntsville are *cities* in the way some people imagine them. These are small-town cities. No skyscrapers in sight here.

There are multiple ways this 86 acre m/l property could be used. The log cabin would make a great hunting retreat. Or you could embrace the hermit lifestyle and move in and go reclusive. You could fix it up for a B&B and rent it out short-term or long-term.

There is large shop that is currently used as a machine shop. If hunting game or photographing wildlife are among your interests, there’s a large hunting blind. Various other buildings are on the property. A mobile home or travel trailer would fit underneath the large metal “carport”.

There’s a washer and dryer in the shop building.

Semi-Rural with Income Opportunities

For the ultimate sustainability and survivalist necessity, there are several springs on property. And if you wanted to put in more tiny houses to use for short-term rentals, there a more good building sites that would work.

I don’t have any indoors photos to show, so there’s no telling what it may look like on the inside. If you’d like to find out, use the contact information below to call either me (Roxann Riedel) or the agency to make an appointment.

A Buffer Zone

Enough acreage to use what you need of it, but enough to leave a buffer zone of forests to completely surround you, providing privacy and shelter from the outside world.

Sustainable Lifestyle on Semi-rural Property

What makes a sustainable lifestyle? And what kind of property makes it possible? It means being able to provide most of your inputs for yourself, like food, water, and electricity, for example.

Unless you want remote, it doesn’t mean you can’t be a short driving distance to a town with amenities. This property near Berryville and Huntsville is only twenty-thirty minutes away from hardware stores, feed stores, groceries, and fuel. Semi-rural property offers the best of both worlds.

Water

If true sustainability is your interest, the presence of a water source is of the utmost importance. With springs on the property, you can use holding tanks and bring the water wherever you want it by pump or gravity (if sufficient elevation difference exists). There is well water feeding the house currently. Electricity is available.
