The acre of land is the thing that made me stop. In a zip code where homes are moving slowly and prices are being cut regularly, most of what's available is tight lots with nowhere to go. This one gives you a full acre to do something with. Garden, outbuilding, space between you and whoever's next door. That's real.
The house itself is 1664 square feet, three bedrooms, two baths, built in 1980. There's a fireplace in the living room, which matters in Arkansas winters. The agent description is thin to the point of being almost useless, so what we know about the interior beyond the basics is limited. No system dates, no mention of updates, no renovation history. That's the honest situation here: the condition of this house is genuinely unknown until you walk through it and start asking questions about the roof, the HVAC, the plumbing. At $100,000, you need those answers before you commit.
The price context is worth understanding. The zip code median sits around $63,000, and this listing is asking $100,000. That's a significant gap. The price per square foot runs about 28% above the thin local median. So while $100K for a three-bedroom with an acre sounds reasonable in the abstract, it's running above what this market typically bears. Comparable homes here are selling for less, and 43% of listings in this zip have taken price cuts. The average home is sitting 121 days before selling. This one went up four days ago.
What the price makes possible: you get a livable-sized house on a real piece of land in a rural Arkansas market where land and space are the point. If the systems are in decent shape, there's a straightforward family home here. If they need work, you'll want the price to reflect that. Either way, the acre is the asset. A house on a lot this size in a town with land costs what it costs.
