There are degrees of rural life. This property is located in a rural NWA city, and has potential for an urban sustainable lifestyle. The reasons why have to do with location and a spacious backyard that could be transformed into a sustaining garden.
1217 Spruce Street is in a subdivision on the eastern edge of Berryville, Arkansas. It’s only a few minutes to downtown Berryville and about 10 minutes to Green Forest, the next nearest town.
In Berryville you can find a Walmart Superstore, restaurants, other amenities and businesses.
Not the Skyscraper Kind of Cities
Neither Berryville or Green Forest are *cities* in the way some people imagine them. These are small-town cities. No skyscrapers in sight here. Main employers are Walmart and Tyson, with lots of smaller organizations and businesses in the region.
The house is a ranch-style and is ready to move in. The walls are freshly painted, there are new floors on the hallway and kitchen. A new owner could customize with paint of their choice and draperies, pull out the carpet and put down other floors if they choose. But as it sits now, it is more than livable.
There is two-car garage with work rooms built in.
There’s a washer and dryer. Bring your own refrigerator.

Sustainable Lifestyle on Urban Property
What makes a sustainable lifestyle? It means being able to provide most of your inputs for yourself, like food, water, and electricity, for example. In the case of Urban Homesteading, you may rely on municipal power, water, and sewer. But with a large yard you can grow a garden for food.
An Urban Sustainable lifestyle means it’s only a short driving distance to a town with amenities. Long drives are often the drawback to rural living. In small rural cities, you can have a balance of the best of both worlds.
