Tucked into 80 acres of Ozark woodland near the historic town of Calico Rock, Arkansas, this mountain estate is one of the most unusual properties in the region. It pairs a 4,540-square-foot luxury mountain home with two authentic cedar log cabins, and it is listed for $798,000.
The main house is built for space and views. It has four bedrooms and four bathrooms across two levels, with wood siding, a metal roof, and a stone walkway leading up to a red front door.
Inside, the living areas are wide and open, anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. There is a sunroom, an oversized kitchen, and several gathering spaces, plus expansive decks that look out over the trees.
The two cedar log cabins add about 2,600 square feet of extra living space. They work as guest lodging, a hunting retreat, a place for family to stay, or short-term rentals like Airbnb and VRBO.
Outside, a 36-foot by 20-foot inground pool with a hot tub sits on a deck surrounded by forest. It is the kind of spot that makes the whole property feel like a private resort.
The land itself is a big part of the appeal. Eighty acres of wooded, rolling ground with private trails, a creek, and no homeowners association, all minutes from downtown Calico Rock, the White River, and Norfork Lake.
The property even has its own natural caves and seasonal waterfalls, tucked into the rock on the land. It is rare to find that kind of scenery on a private estate.
It is also set up to run on its own. A whole-house Generac generator, a solar-powered well with electric backup, fiber internet, dual heating and cooling systems, and a wood furnace with gas backup keep everything working.
There is plenty of room to work and store things too: a heated and cooled insulated shop with 220-volt electric, a climate-controlled storage container, a two-story solar-powered barn, and several other outbuildings.
Everything is close by despite the seclusion. Shops, restaurants, and medical facilities in Calico Rock are just minutes away, and the White River and Norfork Lake are nearby for fishing and boating.
At $176 per square foot, the estate also carries real income potential, with the cabins ready to host guests and the whole property set up for rental use.
