Introducing The Lodge at the Ouachita Golf Course and Country Club in Polk County, Arkansas. The lodge is a rustic-modern, four-bedroom, two-bathroom home containing 2,726 square feet of living space. Nestled on 20.51 acres in Mena, the property borders the golf course on two sides. Enjoy living within 1 mile of the Mena city limits, where you will have quick access to food and grocery delivery or trips into town. The home sits at the back of the property among large, mature pines and hardwoods, where you can enjoy privacy and seclusion. Inside the main living space, you will find a custom rock, wood-burning fireplace with a Country Flame insert as the focal point. Access the expansive back deck through sliding patio glass doors or enjoy lots of natural light through large picture windows. The vaulted ceilings provide a spacious open living room with easy access to the back deck, garden, lawn, and gazebo. Enjoy large gatherings on the deck with plenty of shade. If you enjoy gardening, you'll love having both raised beds and a small open garden space that is adjacent to the garden shed. The flow from the back deck and gazebo provides many areas to entertain. The gazebo has electricity and has been used as a grilling area/outdoor kitchen where guests gather or come and go with easy access to the home's large kitchen. The kitchen has a large contrasting black bar that provides a workspace, lots of storage, and additional seating. New updates include a granite sink with a pull-down kitchen faucet and garbage disposal and black stainless appliances. The large picture window overlooks the back deck and is the perfect place to watch the sunrise over breakfast or morning coffee. The primary bedroom and bathroom are separate from the other three bedrooms and have direct access to the back deck and hot tub. A large laundry room has pantry cabinets and room for an extra fridge or freezer. A formal dining room can be used for dining or additional living space. The alcove in the hall between the dining room and kitchen is the perfect coffee bar space. In addition to the garden shed, there are two shop buildings for his and her hobbies. The 30' x 40' shop was built in 2021 and offers three roll-up doors/bays, a concrete floor and apron, electricity, and water near the exterior door. It could be used commercially, as it sits on the front acreage nearest Highway 88 East. The western cedar shop near the home makes a great hobby shop, additional storage, or the perfect place to house your golf cart or ATV and other recreation essentials. In addition to municipal water, you can easily switch to well water from inside the well house/storage shed or use the newly installed hand pump. There are two established pads for a playhouse, chicken coop, or additional shed. The dog gazebo sits under large hardwood trees and provides a great space for your furry friends. An additional fenced pen is attached to the wood shop with doggie door access. The property has no restrictions, so horses and other livestock are allowed. The lodge has had many recent updates and added amenities. It is a great place for recreation with 20.51 acres to roam, easy access to your daily golf game, a 0.75 acre pond, an RV shed, and tons of outdoor space for entertaining or just enjoying the beauty of the Ouachitas.
