Tbd Raw Land Bates, AR 74953

This recreational property is located at the base of Poteau Mountain in Southwestern Arkansas, in a remote and secluded wilderness setting surrounded by private and public timberland. Part of the North property line fronts the 1.8 million acre Ouachita National Forest Area, 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. Several lakes offering recreational opportunities, such as Wister Lake State Park, Cedar Lake, Broken Bow Lake, and Sardis Lake, are a short drive away. Fort Smith, Arkansas, is a 1-hour drive, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, is about 2.5 hours away. The property consists of 122 acres (m/l) 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, with flat to gently sloping terrain. Several spots on the property would be ideal for constructing a recreational cabin. Wildlife are frequently seen on this property. The property has all-weather and legal access. Poteau Mountain Road fronts part of the North property line, and Strip Pit Road fronts the West property line. There is a seasonal stream that flows through the property, and several locations where a pond could be constructed for a year-round water source. There are no deed restrictions.
