Turn-Key Country Homestead on 6.28 Acres

Offered Directly by Owner: $235,000 (Base Package) | $255,000 (Fully Furnished Package)

Strictly For Sale By Owner – Principals Only. No Agents or Broker Fees Paid.

Welcome to your private country retreat. Nestled on 6.28 pristine and cleared acres in Horatio, Arkansas featuring mature Japanese silk trees, magnolias, and black walnuts, this beautifully maintained 1,516 sq. ft. custom rock home perfectly blends rugged exterior durability with a warm, masterfully crafted wood interior. Perfect for a permanent hobby farm, livestock homestead, or a quiet country getaway.

The Main Interior

Step inside to a beautiful open-concept living area highlighted by a large floor-to-ceiling site-built rock fireplace and matching wood flooring. Every wall features gorgeous, solid pine tongue-and-groove craftsmanship that gives the entire home a cozy, classic lodge feel.

The home is fully updated and ready for immediate move-in. It includes pre-installed custom Allen + Roth window blinds, matching rustic cabin ceiling fans, and an entirely matching appliance suite (refrigerator, glass-top stove, built-in microwave, dishwasher, washer, and dryer)—all of which are less than a year old—ensuring zero out-of-pocket appliance or fixture costs for the new owner. The problematic Google Nest thermostat has been replaced with a modern Sensi smart thermostat for reliable, easy-to-use climate control. Electronic keypad locks are installed on both the front and back doors for convenient keyless entry.

Acreage & Heavy Infrastructure

Unlike standard small-lot homes, this property is fully optimized for rural utility.

The land also features a dedicated, fully enclosed inner pen configured for dogs or small livestock (such as goats). This inner paddock includes a large animal access door leading directly into one of the enclosed garage bays for immediate weather shelter.

Mature Japanese silk trees, magnolias, and black walnuts provide natural shade, beauty, and character across the acreage.

For the mechanic, woodworker, or outdoor enthusiast, the property boasts a massive detached 3-bay garage complex—featuring two fully enclosed workshop bays alongside an attached carport to seamlessly store tractors, trucks, boats, and ATVs.

The house comes set up with recently updated fiber optic internet with speeds up to 2 Gbps symmetrical. The fiber optic interface was moved from the living room to the utility room (which also houses the new water softener) and comes with 2 satellite Deco WiFi 2.4/5/6 routers attached wirelessly to the Deco controller.

The property is served by a private well and septic system. All well equipment—including the pump, pressure tank, and related components—is brand new. A new water softener has also been installed.

116 Thornton Rd, Lockesburg
$240,000

This smaller 2-bed, 1-bath home on just 1.86 acres sold for $240,000 with basic vinyl siding. Our property gives you over triple the land (6.28 acres), a premium solid rock exterior, and a massive 3-bay workshop for a lower base price.

This 2-bedroom home sold for $250,000 right down the road. It sits on a standard smaller plot of land, proving that the local market heavily supports mid-$200k prices for quality 2-bedroom layouts in our school district.
