About this property
Country Acreage - Homestead Property - Adjoining National Forest Location: This property is located in a very private and secluded country setting near the small community of Bates, Arkansas. The property is nestled in a beautiful valley setting and offers great views of Poteau Mountain to the North. The new property owners will enjoy the very best of country living and yet still be close to the modern conveniences that are offered in the nearby towns. The surrounding area offers many recreational activities for the outdoorsman. Wister Lake State Park, Cedar Lake, Broken Bow Lake, Kerr Lake, Lake Eufaula and Lake Sardis are a short drive away and the property has frontage to the 1.8 million acre Ouachita National Forest which offers excellent hunting for whitetail deer, eastern wild turkey, black bear and numerous small game animals. Property Address: This is raw undeveloped land that does not have a physical address yet. An address can be assigned once the new owners construct a home. GPS Coordinates: 34.92273, -94.38665 Services To Property: Rural Electric service has been installed to two home sites on the property. Additionally, there are 3 drilled and cased water wells on the property that were formerly used to provide water to Broiler Houses. Access: This property has legal access by turning North off of a county road (Bates Loop) and then driving roughly 0.5 miles on a private drive leading to the property. Land: There are 80 acres (m/l) of level to gently sloping land that lies near the foot of Poteau Mountain. The property has frontage to the 1.8 million acre Ouachita National Forest on the East property boundary and adjoins timber company land on the North and West property boundaries. Roughly 70% of the land is in improved pasture land and currently used to run cattle. The balance of the property is covered with mature timber that is native to this area. NOTE: Some ariel photography show 3 broiler houses located on the property. These structures have been removed. Pond: There is a nice pond on the property located near the NE property corner that serves as a year round source of water for livestock and local wildlife. Agent's Comments: If you are searching for a place to enjoy active retirement and if you like hunting, mountains and a rural lifestyle, then this beautiful property offers all that and much more. Private and secluded setting with electricity at two different build sites offering beautiful mountain views. Many lakes and streams for fishing are found throughout the area and the property conveniently adjoins the 1.8 million acre Ouachita National Forest.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
