Chula Road Tract
200 Acres A± | Yell County, Arkansas
The Chula Road Tract offers an uncommon opportunity to own a private recreational property with an extraordinary amount of public land at its doorstep. Located in the southwestern corner of Yell County, just northwest of Lake Ouachita, this approximately 200-acre tract shares nearly three miles of its boundary with the Ouachita National Forest. With the exception of a short stretch, the surrounding landscape is almost entirely public land, creating an exceptional sense of privacy while providing access to an expansive area for exploration and recreation.
Unlike many mountain properties, the terrain here is remarkably approachable. Broad ridges and gentle elevation changes make it easy to travel throughout the property on foot or by side-by-side, allowing owners to comfortably enjoy every corner of the tract. Whether your plans include hunting, hiking, camping, or simply spending time outdoors, the property's layout makes it both enjoyable and highly usable.
Water is one of the defining characteristics of the Chula Road Tract. Narrows Branch flows through the northern portion of the property, while Irons Fork, a year-round stream, crosses the landscape before eventually feeding the northern end of Lake Ouachita. These streams not only enhance the scenic beauty of the property but also provide dependable water sources and natural travel corridors that benefit the area's abundant wildlife.
Following a selective harvest of the pine timber, many mature hardwoods were intentionally preserved, particularly along the creek bottoms. These hardwood corridors continue to produce acorns each fall while providing valuable cover, bedding habitat, and natural movement patterns for deer and other wildlife. Combined with the property's water resources and the surrounding national forest, the habitat supports healthy populations of deer, turkey, black bear, and numerous other native species.
Accessibility is another notable advantage. Chula Road passes directly through the property, with county-maintained road service extending to the property boundary. The drive is quiet, traffic is minimal, and access is available year-round, making weekend trips or extended stays convenient in every season.
The property is being offered as approximately 200 acres in its entirety or may be purchased as two individual tracts. The Narrows Branch Tract consists of approximately 80 acres, while the Irons Fork Tract encompasses approximately 120 acres, giving buyers the flexibility to choose the property that best aligns with their recreational goals or investment plans.
Whether you're searching for a secluded hunting retreat, a place to explore the Ouachita Mountains, or a long-term recreational investment surrounded by protected public land, the Chula Road Tract represents a rare ownership opportunity. Properties with this level of privacy, accessibility, live water, and adjacency to the Ouachita National Forest are increasingly difficult to find and even harder to replace.
