Description

Situated in the middle of the Ozark Mountains and just minutes from the world-famous White River at the Sylamore Creek Access, this incredible property embodies everything an outdoorsman could dream of. Whether you're seeking a private retreat close to premier trout waters, a secluded hunting tract rich in wildlife, or a beautiful investment in the hills of north-central Arkansas, this one checks every box.Fronting the scenic Highway 9, the property offers a newly constructed driveway leading directly onto the land, providing easy access while maintaining a sense of privacy and seclusion once inside. As you step into the timber, it's immediately evident this tract has been carefully preserved and is dominated by massive, mature hardwoods. Towering white oaks and red oaks blanket the landscape, complemented by the occasional hickory, walnut, and pine. The forest floor is clean and open in many places, a sign of a healthy, thriving stand of marketable timber that also provides a picturesque setting for a future cabin or home.The terrain here is a true Ozark masterpiece, gentle enough to be fully usable, yet diverse enough to keep things interesting. The land stair steps gracefully down the east-facing slope, with wide, wooded flats cascading from one level to the next. A large, main ridge runs nearly a half mile through the heart of the tract, offering multiple excellent build sites with views through the hardwood canopy and perfect setups for hunting stands. Along the ridge and its spurs, you'll find scattered bluff rock, small ledges, and impressive natural outcroppings that add both beauty and character to the property.For the hunter, this place delivers in spades. The combination of diverse terrain, mature mast-producing timber, and thick bedding cover nearby makes for exceptional habitat. Whitetail deer, eastern wild turkey, and even black bear roam this region, and a large saddle along the ridge has proven to be a prime travel corridor for deer movement. With a bit of trail work and stand placement, this property could become a premier hunting destination.Electricity is nearby with deeded access running along the property boundary, making future improvements or development straightforward and cost-effective.With its combination of location, natural beauty, and investment potential, this tract is a rare find. Just minutes from the trout-filled waters of the White River and the clear, wild flow of Sylamore Creek, this Ozark gem offers the peace and freedom that only a true mountain property can provide, all at an incredible value.
