Sneeds Creek Springs National Forest at White River
Description
One word comes to mind when I think about this place- Rarity. This do it all tract encapsulates all the features that make the Ozarks so special. Every holler, every bend in the creek, and every hidden field corner encompasses the unharnessed, unmolested, pristine conditions of a truly healthy ecosystem with classic Ozark flora and fauna.
This stunning parcel boasts over 1/2 mile of Sneeds Creek frontage, a spring-fed creek flowing year-round. A great sign of clean Ozark mountain water: the Ozark Hellbender salamander has been spotted in this creek which is an endangered species that can only survive in non-polluted environments. To top it off, a nice-sized, 365-day-a-year fresh water spring flows from underground in the northeast corner offering thousands of gallons of water a day. This is not only ideal for wildlife and livestock but could offer major cost savings for supplying clean drinking water for a home or cabin compared to drilling a well.
The entire south boundary is shared with the Ozark National Forest. This access along with many other access points just a short drive away offers you, family and friends the ability to hunt, hike, mountain bike and explore over 50,000 acres of Ozark wilderness.
With electric on-site and multiple building locations, this land offers both convenience and natural beauty. Picture yourself at your private swimming hole with a giant sandbar and a leaning tree that's just begging for a rope swing, with mountain views, surrounded by a diverse habitat perfect for wildlife, livestock and people alike. The property features a north-facing bowl coming off the western ridge with plentiful white oak, a large flat ridge top with ideal food plot locations and multiple finger ridges extending into the creek bottom creating wildlife funnels.
The abundance of water and quality of the current 12 acres of pasture coupled with a well-maintained county road and the secluded feel of the property means this place is begging to be your new homestead or the Ozark farm you've dreamed of. With approx 18 acres of flat to gently rolling land on the top of the ridge, just a few days on a dozer could result in over 30 acres of quality pasture on this tract.
Conveniently located 1/2 mile from White River access, you can be on your boat in world class trout waters in 5-10 minutes. The tract is conveniently located 20 minutes to Norfork, and 30 minutes to Mountain Home and Calico Rock. Highlights include giant mature pine, sycamore and walnut in the creek bottom, rock outcroppings, county road frontage, and fencing along the road. A rare opportunity in an area with limited private land holdings. Whether you want to forage for Chanterelle's and Morel's, explore the native creek bottom, enjoy the frost ribbons on a cold winter morning, watch the river cane sway in the summer breeze, or start that homestead you've always dreamed of, this is the place for you!
