Agent’s Comments:  This property will provide the new owners with an ideal setting for a relaxing and peaceful weekend getaway from city life or even a full time residence.  Several locations to build a recreational cabin or even a nice country home.  Conveniently located within ½ mile of the Ouachita National Forest recreational area and less than 5 miles from Wister Lake.  Enough established pasture to run a few head of livestock and good garden soil to grow fresh garden vegetable.  Excellent hunting property and a couple of nice ponds stocked with fish.  This would be a great homestead property where you could live a subsistence lifestyle.
