Property Description

This is a stellar 120 +/- acre property that checks all the right boxes. You can build your dream home on acreage, be the envy of most hunting camps, or simply enjoy it as a weekend getaway. With plenty of road frontage, it may even offer some unique investment potential. It’s got the privacy, the setup, and the kind of Ozark charm that folks dream about, and this one's worth a look.

Once you enter the property on the western side and wind down the scenic drive, there’s a solid 30’ x 30’ two-bay shop with electricity, rural water, and high-speed fiber internet already installed. Electric service runs the full length of the property, so you’ve got options whether you’re wanting to build, expand, or just enjoy what’s already there.

On the eastern portion of the property, you’ll find a rustic off-grid cabin that’s intentionally set up to be simple and secluded. It’s built in just the right spot to take in some stunning views facing off to north. There is no water or electricity at the cabin currently, but electricity is easily accessible, keeping the area feeling primitive while still offering convenience if you want to add it later.

The topography itself is rich with features—several dendritic drainages flow in a northern direction on the property, eventually flowing into Dabney Creek along the north boundary of the “back 60.” These drainages form natural pools and, when the water’s running, you’ll find beautiful waterfalls and plenty of spots to jump in and cool off. There’s also a small pond on the property, offering an additional water source for wildlife and a quiet place to enjoy a peaceful afternoon. A well-cut trail system is already in place, making it easy to get around the property and haul out your harvest after a good hunt.

And speaking of hunting, this place is LOADED with deer and turkey, plus the occasional black bear. You will see trails, droppings, rubs, and plenty of other signs throughout. Come fall, I can only imagine that this property lights up with scrapes from rutting bucks. The terrain sets up just right with multiple benches, creeks, secondary drainages, and natural funnels that make for ideal deer movement. “Edge” is a word that deer hunters love, and you will find plenty of it on this property. There are multiple spots where thick bedding transitions into beautiful hardwoods and back into cover. The power right-of-way that winds throughout the property also adds extra edge habitat and natural browse for wildlife.

One of the standout features is the 3 +/- acre clearing on the “back 60.” It lays out well—part of it is open and allows for full sunlight to hit the floor, perfect for a food plot, while the other half of the clearing holds some big timber, creating a unique mix of habitat. There is a hand-built blind on the southwestern edge of the clearing. The majority of the property is littered primarily with white oak and red oak, and there's a healthy presence of sugar maple too. You can bet this place comes alive in the fall with vibrant colors, acorns dropping, and the feeling of those crisp mornings we have all come to love. Do not forget about the warmer weather! Come spring, I’m confident there’s a good chance that you can get on an eastern gobbler!

The property is accessed via a gated entrance toward the end of a private road, and also has road frontage along Madison 5540, making it easy to get to, but private once you are there. One of the best parts? You are only 30 minutes from Elkins and less than 40 minutes from south Fayetteville. That’s a rare combo—peaceful seclusion with real convenience.
