Lot Description
Start Building Wealth With Land | 0.51 Acres Near Crown Lake | Sleepy Hollow
8-Minute Walk to Crown Lake Pier | Extra-Large Flat Lot | Power & Water Ready | $349 Down + $200/Month
Your Parents Couldn't Leave You Land. But Your Kids Won't Say the Same.
Let's be honest: Most working families didn't inherit property. We inherited bills, debt, and the need to figure it out ourselves. Maybe you're from St. Louis, Chicago, or any city where owning land feels like something for rich people, not regular people working paycheck to paycheck.
But that cycle can end with you.
For $200/Month - The Cost OF A Tank OF GAS And A Pizza Night - you can own 0.51 acres of Arkansas lake country. Not rent. Not lease. Own. Real property. Real equity. Real generational wealth starting to build.
This 0.51-Acre lot in Sleepy Hollow subdivision offers something increasingly rare for working-class families: Affordable Land Near A Lake with straightforward financing, no bank games, and a path to ownership that actually makes sense on a working person's budget.
Located just AN 8-Minute Walk TO Crown Lake Pier with power and water available, Extra-Large Flat Lot perfect for building, and Annual Taxes OF Just $60.56 (that's $5/month), this isn't get-rich-quick. This IS Get-Stable-Smart.
While Your Coworkers Are Financing Depreciating Cars And Credit Card Debt, You'll Be Building Equity In Land - The One Thing They're Not Making Any More Of.
Why Land Investment Makes Sense for Working Families:
The Wealth Gap Reality:
Rich people own assets. Working people own... stuff that loses value. Cars that depreciate. Electronics that become obsolete. Furniture that wears out. Nothing That Builds Wealth Over Time.
Land Changes That Equation:
When you buy this property for $7,650 (financed at $200/Month), you're acquiring a Tangible Asset that:
• Appreciates Over Time as Ozark lake areas grow
• Can't BE Stolen, Destroyed, OR Depreciated like possessions
• Provides Multiple Future Options (build, sell, hold, pass down)
• Costs Almost Nothing TO Maintain ($60.56/Year in taxes)
• Requires NO Expertise to own or manage
• Builds Equity With Every Payment You Make
This Is How You Break The Cycle. One Affordable Parcel At A Time.
The Smart Working-Class Investment Strategy
Start Small, Build Strategically:
You don't need $50,000 to start investing in real estate. You need $349 and the commitment to pay $200/Month. Then Leverage Your Asset:
• Use paid-off land as collateral for next investment
• Sell for profit to fund bigger purchases
• Build on it for rental income or retirement home
• Hold long-term for your children's future
• You Now Own An Asset, Not Just Receipts
This Is The Roadmap Wealthy People Follow. Now It's Accessible To You At $200/Month.
Why This Property Works for New Investors:
Low-Risk Entry Point:
When you're making your first real estate investment, you want to minimize risk. This property checks all the boxes:
• Affordable Price Point - $7,650 total (not $30,000 or $300,000)
• Utilities Already Available - no surprise infrastructure costs
• Buildable Terrain - straightforward for future development
• Established Sleepy Hollow Subdivision - proven area, not experimental
• Near Crown Lake - desirable location supports value
• LOW Annual Taxes - just $60.56/Year to maintain ownership
• Owner Financing - no bank rejection, no complicated loan process
• Clear Exit Strategies - build, sell, or hold all viable options
Translation: This Is A Smart First Investment, Not A Gamble.

Common New Investor Questions Answered:
"Can I Really Make Money On Such A Small Investment?"
Absolutely. If this $7,650 property doubles to $15,300 in 10 years (modest for lake-area land), you've Doubled Your Money. If it triples to $23,000, you've Tripled your investment. Plus, you control when to sell for maximum profit.
"What If I Need My Money Back?"
Land is relatively liquid - you can list it for sale anytime. Worst case, you sell for what you paid and get your money back. Best case, you sell for profit. You're not locked in forever.
"What If I Can't Afford To Build?"
YOU Don't Have TO Build. Hold it as investment, sell it for profit, or keep making minimal tax payments ($60.56/Year) while it appreciates. Building is optional, not required for investment.
"Is This Really Better Than Saving?"
Your savings account pays maybe 1-2% interest. Land in growing Ozark lake areas can appreciate 5-10% annually or more. Plus, land can't lose value to inflation the way cash does. Real Assets Beat Paper Savings.
"What If Something Goes Wrong?"
You're protected by deed filing, clear property records, and county oversight. The property exists, ownership is clear, and the transaction is straightforward. This Isn't A Risky Scheme - It's Tangible Land With A Clear Path TO Ownership.
Start With What You Can Afford:
HERE'S The Honest Truth: You don't need to be rich to start building wealth. You need to start somewhere, anywhere, with whatever you can afford.
$200/Month Is Something Most Working People Can Manage:
• Skip eating out twice a month
• Cancel subscriptions you don't use
• Work one extra shift per month
• Sell stuff you don't need
• Find $200 somewhere
Because That $200/Month Isn't Buying Consumption - It's Buying Your Future.
Three and a half years from now, you'll either own this land free and clear, or you'll wish you'd started. Five years from now, it could be worth double what you paid. Ten years from now, your kids could be benefiting from the asset you had the foresight to acquire.
Time Passes Either Way. Money Gets Spent Either Way. The Question Is: Will You Spend It Or Invest It?
Why Owner Financing Changes Everything for Working Families:
Traditional Path (Why It Fails):
• Need good credit (which you might not have yet)
• Need 20-30% down (which is $1,500+ you don't have saved)
• Need bank approval (which means judgement and rejection)
• Need complex paperwork (which feels overwhelming and discouraging)
• Result: You never start investing
Owner Financing Path (Why It Works):
• No credit check (your past doesn't trap your future)
• Just $349 down (you can save this in weeks or months)
• No bank approval (direct transaction, no rejection)
• Simple process (straightforward and clear)
• Result: You become a real estate investor This Month
This Is Why Owner Financing Is Powerful - It Removes The Barriers That Keep Working People From Building Wealth.
Your Investment Timeline:
Today:
Make the decision. Contact us. Ask questions. Understand the simple process.
This Week:
Pay $349. Become a landowner. Property ownership begins. You're now a real estate investor.
Months 1-42:
Make $200 monthly payments. Watch equity build. Visit property occasionally. Plan future use.
Month 42:
Final payment made. Deed transferred and filed officially. YOU OWN 0.51 Acres Free And Clear.
Years 3-10:
Hold for appreciation. Maybe build when ready. Consider adding another property. Watch value
grow with Ozark area development.
Years 10+:
Sell for profit, build on it, pass to kids, or keep as long-term asset. The Choice IS Yours Because YOU OWN It.
Every Wealth Journey Starts With One Decision. This Can Be Yours.
The Difference Between Wishing and Owning:
Wishers:
Talk about buying land someday. Never have enough saved. Wait for perfect timing. Watch prices rise while waiting. Stay stuck in the rental cycle.
Owners:
Start with what they can afford. Make $200 payments consistently. Build equity slowly but surely. Own assets that appreciate. Create options for their future.
The Difference Isn't Income Level - It's Mindset And Action.
You can wish for a better financial future, or you can invest $200/Month and Build one. Both take time. Only one creates wealth.
Secure Your First Investment Property:
Stop watching other people build wealth while you work just as hard and have nothing to show for it. Stop believing real estate investing is only for rich people. Stop letting perfect be the enemy of good enough to start.
