Description

Do not overlook this exceptional recreational property that has features that showcase the natural beauty of Central Arkansas and the Ozark Mountains. It has been owned by the same family for generations and is now ready to be passed on to a new owner. It is located just minutes from I-40 and convenient to many destinations, but once on the property, you feel like you are in an Ozark Wilderness. Jump in your side by side and ride to the banks of nearly 1/2 mile frontage on Big Piney Creek, a wild and scenic river offering various recreational opportunities: camping, picnicking, swimming, canoeing, fishing, and hiking. Big Piney, a nationally designated Scenic and Recreational River, has a variety of recreational experiences. Large natural pools, steep rock bluffs, and captivating forests are just a few examples of the natural beauty surrounding this creek with emerald green water and flowing rapids that empty into a long deep pool that is full of fish. There is a nice sandy shoreline to set up a family picnic and enjoy floating, swimming or fishing. In fact, you could put in your canoe or kayak and float approximately 4.5 miles to Piney Bay, or if you are really adventurous, put in at Long Pool Recreation Area and float all day on approximately 17.5 miles of the scenic Big Piney Creek and exit on your own private landing! Complementing Big Piney Creek are two seasonal creeks that flow in rocky hollows, pouring over massive boulders and creating several stunning waterfalls. Exploring the small creeks is an adventure in the natural beauty of God's creation and can only be experienced on foot. Rock overhangs and impressive bluffs line the waterways and provide additional adventures that will inspire thoughts of ancient times when Native Americans and settlers occupied the land. On a little more relaxed days, explore the approximately 1/2 mile of soaring bluff line that rises nearly 200 feet above Big Piney Creek with majestic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Part of the property has young pine that is ready for a first thinning with the remainder in mature pine and hardwood timber. The diverse habit attracts and holds abundant wildlife that include deer, turkey, bear and other forest animals that call this place home. The property is undeveloped but has excellent black top road access through a gated entrance. Utilities are situated at the road and waiting to be easily brought onto the property. Although the interior trail system is limited it is waiting to be developed and enhanced by the new owner and is only limited by imagination. Enjoy it in its current wild undeveloped condition, or make it a property that will be passed down from generation to generation. Minerals convey.
