Location:  This "One of a Kind" property is nestled in the heart of the Ouachita National Forest in a beautiful valley setting with the Winding Stair Mountain Range to the North, Rich Mountain to the East and Simmons Mountain to the West.  This property is less than 800 feet from the 1.5 million acre Ouachita National Forest, which provides direct access to hunting opportunities for whitetail deer, eastern wild turkey, black bear, wild hog and other small game as well as direct access to an impressive network of ATV, hiking and horseback riding trails that are operated and maintained by the US Forest Service.  This property is about 1 mile south of the Talimena Scenic Drive and 1 mile West of Pipe Springs.  Nearby towns include Big Cedar, Broken Bow, Hochatown, Talihina and Poteau, which is the county seat.  Broken Bow Lake, which offers some of the best fishing in Oklahoma, is only a short 45 minute drive away to the South.  Sardis Lake, Cedar Lake and Wister Lake are only minutes away as well.  The property is a 1.5 hour drive from Fort Smith, Arkansas and about 3.5 hours from Dallas, Texas.  For the exact location of this property, please refer to the Google Earth map at the bottom of this advertisement. Physical Address:  21866 Pipe Springs Road; Hodgen, Oklahoma 74939 Services:  Rural Water, Rural Electricity, septic system and propane storage tank. Property Access:  This property is accessed by turning West off US Hwy 259 and driving approximately ½ mile down an all-weather county maintained dirt road (Pipe Springs Road).  Cabin:  There is a 26 foot wide x 50 foot long rustic cabin on this property with 1300 square feet of heated and cooled living space with 4 bedrooms/1-1/2 bath.  The cabin was originally constructed in 2006 and recently the cabin interior was completely remodeled.  The cabin has an 8 foot wide x 50 foot long covered front porch and a 6 foot wide x 24 foot long covered back porch.  The cabin has a pier and beam foundation and an all metal exterior which requires very little maintenance.  The cabin has a central HVAC system. Land:  There are 3 acres (m/l) of level to gently sloping land that is mostly cleared with a scattering of mature native oak shade trees.  The current owner has done a considerable amount of work picking up rocks so the open areas around the cabin can be mowed and easily maintained.  The mountain views from this property are spectacular with Winding Stair Mountain and Spring Mountain North of the property and Rich Mountain and Simmons Mountain in the distance to the South.  The property is less than 800 feet from the 1.5 million acre Ouachita National Forest area which provides great hunting, hiking, ATV and horseback riding opportunities.  Wildlife are frequently seen on the property and the surrounding areas.  Metal Shop Building:  There is an impressive metal shop building that the current owner custom built.  The shop measures 34 feet wide x 30 feet long and has 13 foot tall side walls.  The shop has a concrete slab foundation, electrical wiring and lighting.  There is one small walk through door, one 10 foot x 10 foot overhead door and one 10 foot x 8 foot overhead door.  A metal hoist system was designed and installed inside the shop. Outdoor Shed:  There is an outdoor shed with concrete floor that measures 14 foot x 16 foot that can be used to store hand tools or small equipment. Agent's Comments:  This is the ideal setting for a relaxing and peaceful weekend getaway from city life or even a full time residence.  No traffic, no hurrying, just simple life away from the hectic city.  This is a very unique property that provides off the porch access to the Ouachita National Forest Recreational Area.  In my opinion, this property can be classified as true "Investment Grade Recreational Property".  A very private, secluded and peaceful setting.  If desired, this property could be easily used as a weekend rental cabin to provide the new owner with a great secondary source of income. Property Taxes:  The taxes for the 2020 year were $556. List Price:  $215,000
