Izard County
Beautifully Built Country Home On Private Wooded Acreage
1177 Ash Trl Melbourne, AR 72556
Description
Wow! I’ve got something special to share with you. Tucked away in the rolling hills of Izard County, Arkansas, sits a one-of-a-kind log home on 30 acres that feels like it grew straight out of the land itself. This place isn’t just a house, it’s a true Arkansas homestead built with timber harvested right here on the property. If you’ve been dreaming of a cozy country setting, a solid first home to raise your family, or a weekend getaway loaded with serious hunting potential, this one checks every box.
The home itself is approximately 1,800 square feet with solid bones and character that you just don’t find in modern builds. The logs came straight off this very land, and the attention to detail is incredible, cabinets crafted from walnut trees harvested here, with walls and trim milled from Paulownia trees that once stood on the property. It’s warm, inviting, and built to last for generations.
Step inside and you’ll find a spacious open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area perfect for family gatherings or quiet evenings by the fire. Just off the main hallway is a charming little library across from a large full bathroom. The master bedroom boasts a massive walk-in closet, and there’s a second bedroom on the main level. My favorite spot? The remarkable screened and covered deck is the perfect place to sip coffee in the morning or listen to the crickets sing on a cool summer night while you entertain friends and family.
Downstairs, the basement offers another bedroom, a full bathroom, plenty of extra storage, and a tornado shelter that doubles as a handy root cellar. You’ll also appreciate the outdoor wood boiler furnace that keeps the hot water flowing and the home comfortable through those crisp Arkansas winters.
But the real magic is in the land. This property is loaded with towering mature hardwoods, white oak, red oak, and hickory, creating a hardwood canopy that whitetail hunters dream about. Small bluff areas and rock outcroppings act as natural funnels for the big hill country bucks that call this area home. A prominent ridge runs through the middle of the tract with an older field on top that could easily be converted into a food plot to sweeten the deal for deer and turkey. Best of all, beautiful year-round Macedonia Creek winds through the property for over 1,000 feet, flowing gently beneath the hardwoods and providing water and habitat for wildlife.
Located just minutes from the friendly community of Melbourne, Arkansas, you’re still close to everyday conveniences while enjoying true rural peace. A short drive puts you on the famous White River for fishing, floating, or simply soaking in the scenery.
Whether you’re a young family looking for room to roam and roots to grow, or a hunter wanting your own private slice of Ozark timber, this property delivers. Solid home, incredible land, and that hard-to-find character that makes a place feel like home the moment you drive up.
