Contractor-Built 10-Acre Estate | 40x80 Shop | Van Buren Arkansas | $875K

Set on 10 acres of park-like landscape just north of Van Buren, this private estate offers a rare transition-zone location—minutes from shopping, medical services, and Fort Smith amenities to the south, with open farmland and rural countryside stretching for miles to the North, East, and West. The driveway carries you over a gentle rise to the homesite, creating a quiet, buffered setting while remaining conveniently close to town services. The land features mature hardwood trees and broad open clearings that provide excellent flexibility for gardens, additional outbuildings, recreational space, or future expansion while preserving privacy around the home. An established raised garden area with nearby water access offers a strong starting point for expanded garden use. A major highlight of the property is the 40 × 80 heated workshop with 12' RV-height overhead doors, gas service, security features, and exceptional space for equipment storage, business use, hobby work, or multi-vehicle capacity rarely available with residential acreage. A 12' tall carport sits alongside the workshop. The home itself was constructed by a professional contractor for his own family's comfort, a detail many buyers recognize as a meaningful indicator of build quality beyond typical speculative construction. Standout features include, a whole house Generac power backup system, and a full-size reinforced tornado shelter measuring approximately 11'3" × 9'3", equipped with electrical service, cable-ready wiring, a FEMA-style steel door, and a secondary emergency exit. A separate walk-in safe for valuables with approximately 6-inch poured concrete walls and a salvaged bank vault door provides exceptional hardened storage and protection space rarely found in any residential property. Roof replaced in 2025. The setting provides long-term spatial breathing room that is increasingly difficult to find.
