By Awais Manzoor

1 min read

The best homes are measured in access to water, room to roam, and everyday livability. From a 116-acre creek-front holding near Conway to lake addresses on Greers Ferry and Lake Hamilton, recreation is never far from the front door. Even inside city limits in Jonesboro and in Fayetteville’s Riverwalk, privacy, trails, and flexible spaces—bonus rooms, basements, workshops, and additional building potential—keep life expansive without feeling remote.

Surrounded by 116 scenic acres in Greenbrier, this rare holding pairs a charming home with a landscape built for outdoor life. Over 2,800 feet of East Fork Cadron Creek frontage winds through the property, alongside abundant wildlife, excellent hunting, and marketable timber. The setting supports horse and cattle potential, while additional building sites invite future expansion for a multigenerational homestead, working farm, private retreat, or recreational escape—all just minutes from Conway and within the sought-after Greenbrier School District. Inside, original hardwood floors bring warmth and continuity across two bedrooms, two baths, and two separate living areas. A spacious sunroom offers flexible use as a bedroom or office, and rock and stone sourced directly from the land add distinctive character and a sense of history. Mineral rights convey, leaving plenty of room to imagine what comes next.

Steps from the shoreline on Greers Ferry Lake, this newly built 2022 residence pairs wooded privacy with an easy lakeside rhythm. A bright foyer leads into an open living, dining, and kitchen arrangement designed for gatherings, anchored by smart black stainless appliances, leathered granite countertops, a gas cooktop with pot filler, and a large island with seating for four. On the main level, three bedrooms and 2.5 baths are complemented by walk-in closets throughout, while the primary en-suite adds a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a generous closet that connects directly to the laundry room. Upstairs, a bonus room flexes as a game room or fourth bedroom. Evenings linger on the covered back porch—ideal for relaxing, grilling, and taking in sunsets or Heber Springs’ annual fireworks. Outdoor accent lighting and a two-car garage complete the setting, with a private airstrip, boat ramp, and Tannenbaum Golf Course minutes away.
