Description

Rocking Chair Ranch rests the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas in the community of Welcome Home.   Approximately 2,200+ square feet of living space laid out on a 2 story ranch style house.  The porch wraps completely around the home for entertaining, hours of enjoyable porch sitting, and watching the whitetail deer and turkeys in the pasture.  The home has vaulted ceilings, oak and hickory and cedar wood and tile flooring throughout, and custom cabinets and counter tops.  The master suite has a fireplace and large walk in closet.  The upstairs has two bedrooms and one adjoining bathroom as well as additional storage and a loft with custom bookshelves.  Entertaining your guests for BBQ’s and holidays will be a cinch with the large open floor plan and back screened porch.  In case of bad weather, an above ground Safe Shed storm shelter sits just behind the house for easy access.  Warmth is provided with two fireplaces inside and a Hardy wood furnace sheltered under the carport to heat the home. A 2 ton and 3.5 ton Carrier 15 seer Heat pump provides central heat and air to both levels replaced in 2017 and is still under 10 year compressor/parts warranty.  With thick 2X6 walls, heating and cooling efficiency is at it’s max.

With 80 (+/-) acres to stretch out on, 1/3 is already purposed pasture for gardening, raising livestock, or growing hay.  Another 2/3 of the land is wooded with mature timber to make of it what you want.  You are sure to see deer and turkeys and more roaming nearby https://www.agfc.com/en/hunting/big-game/. The property is fed from the well with filtration plus a second hand drawn well near the garden.  A small seasonal creek crosses the land and several rock bluffs skirt the back slope behind the house. For those planning to live on the property with this as your primary residence, you can enjoy the benefits of the homesteading tax credit offered by the state.  The county of Searcy provides the road maintenance.

A large shop measuring 40’X72’, holds enough room for your projects, a small studio room, ATV’s, and even an RV with the two roll-up-doors on each end.  The chicken coop and extra awning covering are attached with awnings on either side of the shop.  The outhouse was set next to the shop for easy access.

Just 30 minutes to Marshall, Arkansas and 10 minutes more to the Buffalo River National Park https://www.nps.gov/buff/index.htm , you’re sure to fill your time hiking, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing.  The two local hospitals are about an hour away and medical transport service can be provided by Air Evac, with the Little Rock Airport right about 2 hours travel time.  Great shopping can be found in Harrison or even Branson,  just a jump across the border into Missouri.  For music lovers, you can find the “folk music capitol of the world” in nearby Mountain View AR.

Rest easy on the porch in your secluded “Rocking Chair Ranch”.
