Property Description:
Almond Creek Ranch is nestled in the Ouachita mountains just 3 hours from Dallas and surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty of Southwest Arkansas. The area is known for its beautiful clear lakes, and its majestic rivers. The ranch has 80 +/- acres of rolling ridges and valleys and has excellent road and trail systems throughout. The property has been managed to increase wildlife habitat through timber clearing and planting of food plots. A rustic 1,728 sf Cabin is located on the north ridge overlooking a 4-acre trophy bass lake that was built in 2020. The home has 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, an updated kitchen, family room, utility room and a large newly built covered porch with dining area, sitting area, and a TV. The 4-acre trophy bass lake was stocked with pure strain Florida bass, Non-breeding Hybrid Striped bass, and baitfish. The lake has been highly managed by Lochow Ranch Pond and Lake management and has had limited to no fishing to allow fish to grow. Almond Creek Ranch is rich in wildlife including whitetail deer, Eastern turkey, Bobwhite quail, Dove and the occasional Black bear. Almond Creek runs through the center of the ranch and provides a highway for wildlife. The creek is spring fed and runs year-round. The property is two miles from Gillham, which provides basic services, and is ten miles from the more populated De Queen, Arkansas. The new state of the art Sevier County Medical Center is 4.5 miles away and has helicopter transportation. Several tourist attractions are also nearby including Broken Bow, Oklahoma (39 minutes), Mena, Arkansas (41 minutes) and the Ouachita National Forest. Gillham Lake is a quick 4 miles from the ranch, and De Queen Lake is 6 miles. Almond Creek Ranch is a turnkey property that provides recreational memories for the entire family.
