One of the most distinctive features of the Elmo Creek Retreat is its direct connection to nature, being bordered by the expansive Ozark National Forest on two sides. This location provides an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Arkansas. The surrounding forest not only enhances the property’s seclusion and privacy but also serves as a gateway to a multitude of outdoor activities. The national forest offers extensive recreational opportunities including access to public hiking and mountain biking trails that wind through some of the most picturesque landscapes in the region. The rich biodiversity of the area, with its mature hardwoods and abundant wildlife, makes this property a hunter’s paradise, with deer, turkey, and bear hunting opportunities available on the property itself. The inclusion of eleven (11) stands and multiple feeders ensures that the new owner is well-equipped to take full advantage of these hunting opportunities.

The property’s proximity to the Ozark National Forest also means that you can explore miles of untouched wilderness right from your doorstep. Whether you’re interested in a leisurely hike, challenging yourself on a mountain bike trail, or simply exploring the vast expanse of nature, the forest offers something for every outdoor enthusiast. The national forest not only serves as a natural buffer enhancing the privacy and tranquility of the Elmo Creek Retreat but also provides an enduring safeguard against future development in the surrounding areas, preserving the retreat’s natural beauty for generations to come.

Adding to the property’s appeal is a unique feature known as the “preppers shack,” a buried cargo container designed for food storage and as a shelter in case of an emergency, providing great peace of mind. Access to the property is excellent, thanks to a private, gated road that offers a deeded easement through the national forest, ensuring that your retreat remains secure and exclusive.
