Welcome to one of the most meticulously designed and maintained working cattle farms in the Ozarks—a place where every pasture, fence line, and water source has been thoughtfully developed to balance productivity and peace. This 110 +/- acre farm near Evening Shade, Arkansas, spanning Sharp and Izard Counties, offers a rare opportunity for cattlemen or families seeking the Ozark lifestyle where livestock, hunting, fishing, and relaxation coexist on one exceptional property.

A 2013 Custom-Built Home Overlooking It All

Perched on a gentle hill with sweeping Ozark views, the custom-built home showcases craftsmanship, comfort, and functionality. With over 5,200 square feet under roof (approximately 3,534 heated and cooled), it offers ample space for family living, entertaining, and ranch operations.

Inside, you’ll find vaulted pine ceilings with cedar accents and custom wood flooring that capture the warmth of the Ozarks. The gourmet kitchen features knotty alder cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island with vegetable sink, and premium appliances. A spacious open-concept living and dining area flows seamlessly to a covered back deck overlooking a timbered ridge and food plot.

The primary suite includes four closets, double vanities, a jetted tub, a private laundry area, and a balcony with direct outdoor access. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located on the main level. The finished basement offers a second living area, guest room, full bath, craft or quilting room, secure gun room, and a second laundry area—ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Rustic finishes of barn wood, cypress, and tin accents paired with stained concrete floors complete the space. All closets throughout the home are cedar-lined.

Utilities and Comfort Systems

The home’s systems are designed for efficiency and flexibility. Central propane heat and air are supplemented by an outdoor wood-burning furnace that preheats water and circulates through HVAC coils, significantly reducing utility costs. The system easily switches between propane and wood heat via a wall-mounted thermostat. Backup infrared heat, a basement wood stove, an owned propane tank, generator-ready electrical panel, underground dog fence wiring, and a French drain system tied into gutters further enhance comfort and reliability.

Ranch Infrastructure and Water Systems

This property was engineered from the ground up for serious cattle operations. Seven cross-fenced pastures are each equipped with Mirafount freeze-proof water tanks connected to the well system. A 4,500-foot underground pipeline feeds six tanks and five freeze-proof hydrants at the shop, equipment shed, garden, and working pens. Two ponds, a seasonal creek, and year-round Piney Creek frontage ensure abundant water across the property.

Additional features include 180-degree working pens with head chute, cattle-fenced creeks to protect water quality, electric service to multiple outbuildings, and meticulously maintained fence lines planted with native grasses and wildflowers. The strategic layout allows ATV access around the entire property without opening a single gate.

Around the Homestead

The surrounding acreage is equally well maintained, featuring raised garden beds, a fenced garden area, a chicken coop with its own hot water heater, and established fruit and vine plantings including muscadines, blackberries, elderberries, peach, plum, and apple trees. A dedicated area for raising and processing meat chickens is already in place.

The property has been carefully maintained since its construction in 2013 by owners who built it to last and are only selling to expand their family operation.

Equipment Option

A 2016 Mahindra 4x4 tractor with loader (approximately 1,000 hours) is available for purchase at $16,500 firm.

Recreation, Wildlife, and Hunting

Beyond its productivity, the property is a recreational haven. Whitetail deer and wild turkey are abundant, supported by hardwoods, food plots, creeks, and open pasture. Piney Creek offers fishing, kayaking, and swimming, making this a true Ozark retreat.

Conveniently located near Cave City, Ash Flat, and Melbourne, this property combines privacy, productivity, and accessibility. It’s more than a farm—it’s a lifestyle defined by sunsets over Piney Creek and mornings filled with the sounds of cattle across the fields.
