100 acres... off the grid...

Deep Woods Sanctuary
Beautifully situated in a tranquil meadow in the deciduous forests of the Ozark Mountains, this property is a botanical paradise with natural springs, rich soil, deciduous trees, and a wealth of native plants and animals. We moved onto this land as a young family in 1980 and have worked through the years to build a comfortable, self-sustaining home and gardens. Now we find ourselves ready to scale back and let someone else continue the vision while we move on to the next adventure.
Off grid and with organic gardens already established, this home makes self-sufficiency truly attainable. It offers a safe, healthy country environment for raising a family, a comfortable base for travel, or an easy-to-maintain vacation home. And with some of the lowest property taxes in the country, inexpensive upkeep is a bonus benefit.
• 1300 square-foot home on 100 forested acres.
• Frame construction with native white oak board and batten siding.
• 4 BR, 1 bath, cathedral ceiling.
• Off grid, with modern comforts provided by solar, propane, and wood. Underground high speed DSL Internet.
• Gravity-flow water system from a year-round spring.
• Three-bay post and beam open parking shed.
• Three small spring-fed ponds with fish.
• 1/3-acre organic garden, plus two additional clearings (less than two acres total cleared).
• 25-year-old black walnut grove planted from select nutstock.
• Mature walnut, oak, hickory, and maple forest that has not been logged since at least the 1950s.
If only this weren't in Arkansas... (not that there's anything wrong with Arkansas!!! It's a great state... just too far from family/friends...) Seriously, this is the type of property I've dreamed of since I was a little girl, where I could do organic gardening, have 4 children to run wild and have a ball on the property, have some chickens and other animals (yes, I would eat eggs again if they were from happy hens).... *sigh*
Ooh, anyone want to go in on it as a vacation home?? If 25 of us split it, it'd be a lot cheaper and we'd each have 2 weeks every year for a raw organic vacation there... almost like a timeshare!! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
