Property Description

Tucked away at the end of an impressive mile-long private driveway, this remarkable 130 +/- acre property offers the kind of peace, beauty, and self-sufficiency that's becoming increasingly hard to find. Surrounded by an incredibly private, park-like setting, towering oak timber, year-round springs, abundant wildlife, established gardens, fruit trees, and thoughtfully placed improvements create a property that's equally suited for those seeking a private country estate, a hobby farm, a hunting retreat, or a place to live with greater independence. Whether your goal is raising livestock, growing your own food, enjoying exceptional hunting opportunities, or creating an off-grid lifestyle, the infrastructure is already in place to make it possible, all while being just 20 minutes from Mammoth Spring and 25 minutes from Hardy.

The custom-built 4,120 square foot two-story Eastern Red Cedar home blends rustic craftsmanship with everyday comfort. Offering 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the main home showcases cedar walls, pine ceilings, real hardwood floors, maple cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a formal dining room accented with exposed log beams. The spacious 25'x30' primary suite is a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, a skylight, a large picture window, French doors leading outside, and a beautifully appointed en-suite bath featuring a double vanity, walk-in shower, private water closet, and a corner Jacuzzi tub surrounded by windows. Also on the main level are an additional bedroom and a beautifully updated guest bath featuring a classic clawfoot tub surrounded by porcelain tile and a granite-topped vanity. A dedicated laundry and canning kitchenette with its own sink, dishwasher, and refrigerator adds another practical touch for country living.
Upstairs, you'll find two oversized bedrooms, a full bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub, and a separate living area that opens onto a private balcony deck overlooking the property. One of the upstairs bedrooms also enjoys direct access to the balcony, while an exterior staircase connects the upper deck to the expansive 1,217 square foot lower-level deck, creating multiple outdoor spaces to relax, entertain, and soak in the peaceful surroundings. Every detail of the home reflects quality craftsmanship and was thoughtfully designed to embrace the beauty of its natural setting.

The property's improvements are just as impressive. In addition to the 1,600 square foot shop/garage, a newer 30'x50' red-iron building has been thoughtfully designed with self-reliance in mind. Complete with concrete floors, 220 power, closed-cell insulation, hot and cold water, a shower, bidet, mini-split, propane heat, Starlink capability, and a signature solar system that can seamlessly switch between grid power, battery storage, and solar energy, this building was built to function independently while offering endless possibilities for a workshop, guest quarters, hunting camp, hydroponic operation, or secure off-grid living. Two separate wells service different areas of the property, while the greenhouse, gazebo with water and electric hookups, established gardens, fruit trees, and multiple year-round springs provide the resources to support a truly self-sustainable lifestyle.

Properties that combine exceptional privacy, quality construction, abundant wildlife, reliable water sources, and true self-sufficiency are few and far between. Whether you're a prepper looking to establish a secure homestead, a hobby farmer dreaming of a more sustainable lifestyle, an avid outdoorsman seeking outstanding hunting, or simply someone searching for an extraordinary home on acreage, this one offers the space, infrastructure, natural resources, and freedom to make that vision a reality—all without sacrificing convenient access to the nearby communities of Mammoth Spring and Hardy.
