Description

Properties like this are nearly impossible to find. This historic Ozark homestead, originally constructed in 1935, sits on a remarkable tract completely surrounded on all four sides by the Ozark–St. Francis National Forest, offering unmatched privacy, direct access to thousands of acres of public land, and a true legacy ownership opportunity. The original home still stands and could be refurbished, presenting a rare chance to restore a piece of history or create a unique cabin retreat.
