Property Description

RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A TRUE PIECE OF INDEPENDENCE COUNTY HISTORY! I can envision an Event Venue, Bed & Breakfast, so many possibilities with this picturesque property. Originally built circa 1870 by Civil War veteran Samuel McCutchen Wyatt & his wife Mary Redmon Gainer, the home began as a traditional dogtrot farmhouse & was thoughtfully expanded around 1900 to include it's second story & rear addition. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this property stands as a rare surviving example of post-war Arkansas Homestead Architecture. The house is situated at the junction of Highway 25 (Heber Springs Road) and Gainer Ferry Road and has a beautiful level lawn with massive trees providing a canopy of shade around the home. 2 cut stone chimneys on either end of the house are remarkable statements all of their own. The interior retains much of it's historic charm despite the modernization of city water, a septic system & electricity. The main level has a formal living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The upper level offers 2 very large bedrooms with bathrooms plumbed. Approximately 4 acres of land, barn, creek. This is an unreal opportunity!
