Located almost centrally between Huntsville and Eureka Springs, Arkansas 5 acres & a home near Withrow Springs awaits. It’s a great location for those who want the privacy of rural living but not the distance from the highway that hard-core rural life delivers. This property is only 1.9 miles from the pavement, and the dirt road is in good condition.

It’s about 7 miles to Withrow Springs. For those hunters out there, it’s less than 5 miles to the McIlroy Wildlife Management Area.

The Buffalo River and Ponca, with all of the associated opportunities for hiking and floating the upper Buffalo River runs and trails is only an hour away. For those of you who enjoy mountain biking, Slaughter Pen Trail and the other two-wheeled challenges of Bentonville’s main outdoor attractions are also about an hour away.

Bank Owned Property

This is a foreclosure property, and a very rare one indeed in that it is in excellent condition and ready for move-in. I’m not sure about whether concessions or repair-requests will be allowed, or if it is an ‘as is’ property. But if you’re interested, let me know and I’ll find out!

Sustainable Lifestyle Property

What makes a sustainable lifestyle? And what kind of property makes it possible? A place that allows you to provide most of your inputs for yourself, like food, water, and electricity, is how I define a sustainable lifestyle property.

This property has it’s own well, so it checks that box. Plenty of room to grow a garden and raise small livestock, so that box can potentially be checked. There’s plenty enough sun exposure if you’d like to install solar, so another potential box checked there, too. And with an alternative power source, you’ll still have your well pump operable if the lights go out.

Population Centers

Some people prefer to have hundreds of acres between neighbors, while others are more concerned with ease of access. It’s rare to find something that satisfies both.

With a population of a little over 3000, Huntsville is still considered a small city. It’s about 20-30 minutes away. You’ll find an adequate supply of hardware, livestock feed, groceries, and fuel. For more abundant shopping choices, Fayetteville is about 55 minutes away.

Water

If true sustainability is your interest, the presence of a water source on the property that doesn’t rely on electricity is of the utmost importance. This property does have a well on site, so your backup plan should include a way to operate it or access the water without power if necessary. Then you’ll be wading in true survival territory, lol.

Food

A place to grow a garden helps to offset the grocery bills. The more you can grow and provide at home, the more sustainable your home becomes.

There’s plenty enough ground for a garden here.

Power

Solar installations vary in how much they’ll do to, depending on how it’s configured. This home has no solar included, but are sunny enough locations on the land to put one or put it on the roof.
