Cave City, AR 72521 - Sharp County

The Mountain Brook Farm is located four (4) miles east of the town of Cave City, Arkansas in Independence and Sharp Counties. The property consists of 163.0 (+/-) acres of rolling timbered hillside, creek bottoms, hay pastures, and a pond. The property has historically been utilized as a hay and cattle operation, as well as a produce patch that grew famous Cave City watermelons. One of the most unique aspects of the property is a large, year-round spring in the front yard of the home, which serves as the potable water source for the house. This spring supplies cold, clear and safe drinking water, filtered through miles of limestone and sand. It has been a water source for generations of homesteaders and travelers. A springhouse contains the source of the spring and is one of the most charming features of the property. Reeds Creek transverses the property from west to east and huge, century-old pecan, walnut, cedar, pine and oak trees line the creek and the adjacent fields. The farm is a haven for wildlife, with an abundant population of deer, turkey, and small game. The property is partially fenced and gated. Improvements include a well-built, wood-frame and rock house, with an added garage and a screened in back porch. A small, older barn is behind the house providing a shelter for livestock and poultry for many decades. The rich history of the property includes a land grant for military service to the country dating back to 1853. There is also a 150 year-old cemetery on the property, which adds to its heritage and charm. The property is offered for sale for $309,700.00 ($1,900.00 per acre) and would make the ideal get-a-way place for weekend relaxation and outdoor recreation.
