Production Hay Farm on the Strawberry River

Property Description

Nestled along the picturesque Strawberry River just outside of Smithville, Arkansas, this highly productive hay farm also lends itself to many great recreational opportunities that can be enjoyed by the whole family! This 106.53 acre surveyed tract is located next to the Peebles Bluff River access with approximately .65 miles of river frontage making up the entire southern boundary. With easy access to a large gravel bar on the river, you’re able to set up some chairs or a tent and enjoy watching the young kids wade the shallow shoals or jump off into a deep swimming hole. Grab a kayak and a fishing pole and test your luck at catching a smallmouth bass, or simply float the scenic river, possibilities are endless!

Along with the recreational opportunities, the primary use of this farm has for years been hay production. Historically, this farm produces between 1,200-1,500 round bales off of three cuts each year. To ensure maximum production, each spring the farmer has applied 2 tons of chicken litter per acre, as well as 100 pounds of urea per acre before each cut. Although this is currently a hay farm, the future owners could fence the property and run cattle if desired. The high ground on the northwest corner would serve as a perfect location for someone wanting to build a home overlooking the entire farm or build hay barns for storage all out of the flood zone. There is easy access in and out of the farm off of Strawberry River Rd., and is conveniently located just 1.1 miles off pavement.
