172.78 +/- Acres of Premier Ozark Timber, Live Water & Recreation

Property Description

Located just south of Jasper, Arkansas, this surveyed 172.78 +/- acre property offers an exceptional combination of mature timber, live water, building opportunities, and recreational appeal in the heart of the Ozarks. With excellent access and a secluded feel just minutes from Highway 7, this property offers the opportunity to own a remarkable piece of the Arkansas landscape.

The timber is one of the defining features of this property. The western 60-65% of the acreage hosts some of the finest stands of pine and hardwood timber I have had the pleasure of listing. Mature timber, limestone outcroppings, natural drainages, and diverse terrain create a setting that feels more like a state park than a privately owned tract. Multiple building sites offer the potential for beautiful long-range views, making this an excellent opportunity for a dream estate, private cabin, or family retreat with room to roam.

Spider Creek runs along the eastern boundary, providing live water and a natural gathering place to enjoy with family and friends. A recorded shared spring offers an additional potential water source for a residence, garden, or farm animals. Power is on site, access is excellent, and internal trails extend through eastern portions of the property.

The eastern portion also features an approximately 2.5-acre field and clearing that could make an attractive homesite, hobby farm, or small grazing area. An old homesite provides a glimpse of the property's history and helps illustrate the potential for future improvements.

For the outdoor enthusiast, the recreational appeal extends well beyond the property boundaries. Located near Jasper, Ponca, Boxley Valley, and the Buffalo National River, the property offers convenient access to some of Arkansas's most scenic destinations for hiking, floating, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Its location near these established outdoor attractions also creates potential for a recreational investment, including cabin rentals or other lodging opportunities, subject to zoning, permitting, and applicable requirements.

The property itself offers excellent hunting potential for whitetail deer, turkey, and black bear, with the possibility of elk in the broader region. Deer sign is abundant, with historic rubs and scrapes scattered throughout the acreage. Natural draws and drainages create terrain features that funnel deer movement and offer strategic stand locations. Mature timber provides excellent roosting for turkeys, while limestone outcroppings and rocky openings add to the property's character. During photography, a distant bull elk was heard bugling in the area.

Despite its private feel, the property is approximately 10 minutes from downtown Jasper and 30 minutes from Harrison, offering convenient access to nearby amenities while maintaining the seclusion and natural beauty buyers seek in Ozark mountain properties.

Whether you're looking to build a dream estate, establish a family retreat, enjoy outstanding hunting and recreation, or explore the investment potential of a property near one of Arkansas's premier outdoor destinations, this 172.78 +/- acre tract offers a compelling combination of timber, live water, scenery, and versatility.
