A stream runs through the 34 acres that is so pure and abundant that they named it WATERCREEK. Get away from the cares of the modern world and try your hand at homesteading but stay connected through a fiber optic internet cable. This property is located in Marion County but you have to travel 6 miles of gravel road to get to it. It is only 15 miles back to Yellville.
The old farmhouse from the 1930’s remains livable. Modernize the interior to be comfortable or live in it while you build a new home looking down on the creek and pasture.
An abundance of water makes this a very desirable property for sustainable agriculture or homesteading. Bottom fields are free from pesticides and have plenty of healthy organic material to grow the crops to sustain you. The creek is year-round and free flowing with native fish in it while there are a couple of springs that feed into the creek. A modern well supplies the house with water but there is a spring in front of the house that supplied it prior to the well.
Great hunting property too. You’ll find white tail deer, black bears, and small game such as squirrel, rabbit, and racoon. You’ll find a plethora of native plants to use for medicines or for eating. I have seen sassafras trees, wild ginger, wild plums, mayapple, hickory nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, and much more, There are even maple trees along the creek if you want to try your hand at syrup making!
Watercreek has been referred to as a miniature version of the Buffalo National River which happens to be in the same area and provides a great resource for canoeing, camping, fishing and other outdoor activities. I will show you where the entrance to the natural cave is.
