Arkansas Homes for Sale

Between lush valleys, emerald-green forests and imposing mountains, Arkansas has a little bit of everything. With it's abundant wildlife and natural resources, it’s no wonder Arkansas has a nickname the “Natural State.” Here’s a look at some of the great real estate Arkansas has to offer any buyer.

Arkansas Recreational Homes

Arkansas has lots that range from less than one acre to hundreds of acres. If you are just looking to build a vacation home, a small plot of land for recreation is the best choice. Choose from one to several acres, and either custom-build your own home or find a lot with a home already built.

The best kind of recreational home in Arkansas depends on your taste. If you prefer hunting, you’ll want more land. Those who love to go fishing will want to buy a lakefront home or something close to a stream, creek or river.

Arkansas Horse Ranches for Sale

Have you ever wanted to breed horses? In Arkansas, there is plenty of room for horses to gallop and trot, whether at the base of the foothills or in the wide-open spaces of the green plains.

You will need to purchase land over 20 acres, but don’t really need to exceed 75 acres, unless you are planning to raise many horses. Don’t bother trying to raise horses in a space that’s only a few acres big.

Properties with barns, feed rooms, stables and washing stations are the best choices. Most of these already have a home built, which you could tear down and make your own if you want. Homes with a water source nearby or access to a public road are even better. Moreover, the more acreage you own, the more opportunities you have other than just horseback riding, such as hunting, camping and fishing.

Arkansas Farming Homes

Farming property is a big undertaking, but well worth it if it’s what you want. Arkansas has very fertile soil, so it’s easy to find the right amount of acreage for your farming needs.

If you want to raise cattle, breed horses or deal with other animals, you need to have enough acres available for grazing, riding and general living. If you are planning to grow crops, you can go for slightly smaller farms.

Look for farms with equipment like grain storage, in addition to barns, ponds and housing for livestock. Many farms are a short drive’s away from a major metro area. Buying a home in Arkansas means waking up every morning to one of the most tranquil settings in the country.
