Tbd Raw Land Bates, AR 72958

Located at the base of Poteau Mountain in Southwestern Arkansas, this secluded 141-acre (m/l) property offers a wilderness setting surrounded by private and public timberland. It is roughly 1/2 mile from the 1.8 million-acre Ouachita National Forest, providing direct access to ATV and hiking trails, as well as hunting opportunities for whitetail deer, eastern wild turkey, wild hogs, black bear, and other small game species. The property is a short drive from Wister Lake State Park, Cedar Lake, Broken Bow Lake, and Sardis Lake. Fort Smith, Arkansas, is a 1-hour drive, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, is about 2.5 hours away. The land is covered with a stand of timber native to Southwestern Arkansas, primarily a diverse variety of mast-producing oak trees and a scattering of young native shortleaf pine. The property offers a diverse variety of wildlife habitat ranging from areas where the timber stand has been thinned to more open closed canopy forest areas. The terrain varies from flat to gently sloping, with several spots suitable for constructing a recreational cabin. A seasonal stream flows through the property, and there are several locations where a pond could be constructed for a year-round water source. The property has all-weather and legal access. Poteau Mountain Road and Strip Pit Road form the East and part of the South property boundary, with a private road forming the North property boundary. There are no deed restrictions.
