This warm and inviting log cabin sits on 50 peaceful acres near Mena, Arkansas and features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, an extra-large living room window, and a central wood stove on a tile hearth anchoring the open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area.
The property offers usable land, year-round natural water features, and years of thoughtful infrastructure already in place, allowing buyers to step into a private rural retreat without the overwhelm of raw land or unfinished projects.
The 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin with loft (860 sq ft) includes a wood stove, mini-split HVAC, private well, private septic, and extremely low annual taxes (under $300). A spacious 30x30 back deck with pergola, outdoor lighting, and a concrete hot-tub slab beneath the deck create an inviting outdoor living space. These systems are established and maintained, saving years of setup time.
The land is a standout: year-round creek frontage on two sides, two ponds, mature timber, open pasture, full perimeter fencing with cross-fencing, and an existing barn. The property supports abundant whitetail deer for wildlife viewing or hunting and offers natural foraging opportunities including oyster mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms, and wild blueberries. A neighboring farmer harvests hay twice annually, helping maintain the pasture (pays us approx. $100/year).
Extensive homestead features include multiple orchards with bearing pecan, apple, pear, plum, and peach trees, along with blueberries, raspberries, grapes, muscadine, strawberries, perennial herbs, and 9 raised garden beds. Drip irrigation serves orchards and vines; soaker irrigation serves garden beds. Orchard, vines, and garden areas are fully fenced, including underground mesh protection.
Multiple finished outbuildings with electricity provide flexible space for a remote office, guest room, or studio. Additional improvements include an insulated pump house, storage shed with loft and workbench, and partial enclosure beneath the home for plumbing protection. Two cellular signal boosters (installed 2022 & ~2024) support reliable hotspot-based internet.
County road access offers year-round usability. Electricity through Rich Mountain Electric. Internet available via AT&T-based unlimited hotspot options. Just 10-15 minutes to town, including groceries, hospital, and home improvement stores.
This is not raw land, it's a turnkey acreage property with water, fencing, orchards, gardens, and infrastructure already done. Ideal for buyers seeking privacy, low overhead, and a ready-to-use rural lifestyle.
