Property Description

The Spring Mountain & Tater Mountain Sealed Bid Offering presents five distinct properties totaling 113 ± acres atop Spring Mountain and Tater Mountain, just south of Dardanelle, Arkansas. Offered individually or together, the tracts range from a fully furnished trophy lodge and guest cabin to a fly-in homesite beside John Harris Field Airport and three mountaintop development tracts with graded, build-ready homesites. Across the offering, buyers will find long-range views of Lake Dardanelle, Mount Nebo, the Arkansas River Valley, and the Ouachita Mountains. The anchor of the offering is the Spring Mountain Trophy Lodge & Cabin, a turnkey mountaintop retreat perched on the bluff with sweeping views of Mount Nebo and Lake Dardanelle. The 2,970± SF lodge features vaulted ceilings, a mezzanine, polished concrete floors, a large stone fireplace, and a second-floor bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows facing Mount Nebo State Park. It houses an extensive North American and African taxidermy collection that conveys with the sale, including elephant, giraffe, hippopotamus, cape buffalo, polar bear, grizzly bear, and many more. A 1,820± SF two-story guest cabin with two bedrooms, two full baths, a full kitchen, an attached garage, and a wraparound porch sits steps away, and a staircase leads down the bluff to rock outcroppings overlooking the valley. Both structures are offered fully furnished. Directly beside the lodge area, the Spring Mountain Airstrip Lot is a level 10± acre pine plantation immediately north of the runway at John Harris Field Airport, a public half-mile grass airstrip. It offers the rare chance to build a hangar alongside a home for true fly-in, fly-out access. The loblolly pine plantation was established in 2005 and is ready for a thinning or final harvest, and a spring-fed creek along the northern boundary offers potential for a private pond. The three Tater Mountain tracts total 100± acres of mature hardwood forest with years of site preparation already completed. Eleven graded homesites across the three tracts let buyers begin designing and building immediately. Tater Mountain North (40 ± acres) sits at the highest point of Tater Mountain, about 1,521 feet, with a primary homesite overlooking Lake Dardanelle, the Ozarks, Mount Nebo, Spring Mountain, and the Ouachita's. Tater Mountain East (30 ± acres) spans two prominent knobs, giving each homesite its own vantage point. Tater Mountain West (30 ± acres) features three homesites and a rare Indian Trail Marker tree beside one of the building sites. The entire offering sits just over a mile from Mount Nebo State Park, with hiking, mountain biking, UTV/ATV riding, and hunting nearby. The area supports healthy populations of whitetail deer, wild turkey, and black bear. Buyers can acquire a single homesite, combine the lodge with neighboring acreage for a larger recreational holding, or purchase the entire offering as a private mountain estate with its own fly-in access.
