Nearly 5 Acres of Private Ozarks Land, 15 Minutes to Bull Shoals — $89,900

The acreage is the story here. Five acres, give or take, in the Ozarks with a private setting and two different water access points within 15 minutes. Bull Shoals river access is about that far. Lake access in Fairview is closer, around 10 minutes. That combination is the reason to look at this place.

The house is 1,040 square feet, two bedrooms, one bath, built in 1985. The agent called it a fixer upper, which is the only honest thing in the listing. Plan accordingly. There is a covered porch, which on five private acres in Arkansas is more useful than it might sound somewhere else. You would use that porch.

Inside, the floor plan is open. That is about all the description offered. The agent description is thin on interior detail, so beyond the bedroom and bathroom count, the square footage, and the open layout, there is not much to report. You would want to walk it yourself before drawing conclusions about what it needs.

What the listing makes clear is the land and the location. Flippin is 10 minutes away, which puts a Walmart and whatever else the town has within easy reach. The setting is described as very private, and with nearly five acres, that tracks with the address and the price. At $89,900, the land alone in this part of Arkansas makes the number worth taking seriously, even before you figure out what the house requires.

If you want water nearby, quiet around you, and room to move, this is worth a look. If you need the house to be ready to live in without work, this is probably not it.
