Lot Description
Own Your Lake Life Dream - 0.4-Acre Corner Lot with Crown Lake Vistas
Discover the inspiring beauty you've been searching for on this exceptional 0.4-Acre corner lot in Horseshoe Bend's peaceful Sleepy Hollow neighborhood. With stunning Crown Lake views visible right down the street and the pier just two blocks away, this property isn't just land - it's your opportunity to wake up to the scenery that makes life feel richer, to build the lake home you've always imagined, and to create the lake-inspired lifestyle where every sunset reminds you why you chose beauty over ordinary.
Why This Property Stands Out:
JUST TWO Blocks From Crown Lake Pier: Your morning coffee ritual could include a short stroll to the water's edge. At only two blocks from the Crown Lake Pier, you're positioned for effortless lake access that feels almost like waterfront living. Walk to the pier for sunrise watching before the world wakes up, take evening strolls along the water after dinner, launch kayaks or canoes for spontaneous paddles, fish from the pier without driving anywhere, meet neighbors at the water for casual socializing, and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of lake life on your schedule. This proximity means the lake becomes part of your daily routine rather than a special weekend destination. You'll develop intimate knowledge of the water's moods, seasonal changes, and wildlife patterns. The lake stops being a place you visit and becomes an extension of your backyard - except you avoid the high costs, flood insurance, and maintenance challenges of true waterfront ownership. This is the perfect balance for buyers who want lake life without waterfront complications.
PRIME Corner Lot With Enhanced Space And Presence: Corner lots offer distinct advantages that savvy buyers immediately recognize and appreciate. This 0.4-Acre corner parcel provides additional frontage creating more yard space and design flexibility, enhanced visibility and prominence in the neighborhood, better natural light throughout the day from multiple exposures, optimal positioning for home design, easier access during construction for materials and equipment, and a sense of openness and breathing room that interior lots cannot match. The corner location also means you can orient your home to maximize the best natural light, giving you architectural flexibility that constrained interior lots don't allow.
READY TO Build With Utilities IN Place: Unlike raw, undeveloped acreage, this lot comes with essential infrastructure already waiting for you. Power lines are ready for immediate connection, municipal water is available at the street, you're on a well-maintained paved road providing reliable year-round access, and the combination of utilities and road access means construction can begin on your timeline. These ready utilities mean no delays waiting for infrastructure extensions, no unexpected costs for bringing utilities to remote land, no complications coordinating with multiple utility companies, and no concerns about access during Arkansas winters or construction periods. Whether you're planning to break ground next season or in a few years when retirement arrives, knowing the infrastructure is ready provides flexibility and peace of mind. You can focus on designing the perfect view-oriented home rather than worrying about basic infrastructure. This is practical, builder-friendly land that cooperates with your vision.
LEVEL Terrain For Straightforward Construction: The property features naturally level ground that makes construction efficient and cost-effective while providing the perfect canvas for view-oriented design. No expensive excavation fighting difficult hillside terrain, simpler and more affordable foundation work, easier installation of driveways and walkways, straightforward landscaping, and better accessibility for all ages and mobility levels. Level lots also mean your construction budget focuses on the home itself and view-maximizing features rather than expensive site preparation. This is accommodating land that allows you to invest in the windows, porches, and architectural details that make the most of available light rather than fighting topography. The level terrain also means easier yard maintenance once you're living here - more time enjoying your view, less time managing challenging landscaping.
COMPREHENSIVE Recreation Beyond The Views: While the Crown Lake views may have captured your attention first, this location provides access to the full spectrum of Horseshoe Bend's recreational offerings. Three beautiful lakes with sandy beaches provide swimming variety and scenic diversity throughout the summer months. Box Hound Marina, Diamond Lake Boat Launch, and Strawberry River Launch offer multiple boating access points depending on your activity and conditions. The public swimming pool at the Parks & Recreation Center adds convenient family-friendly swimming. Turkey Mountain Golf Course sits just two miles away for beautiful rounds through Ozark scenery. Horse stables four miles away offer trail riding through mountain landscapes. Downtown Horseshoe Bend lies just one mile away for dining, shopping, and community events. This combination means every family member finds their favorite activities while everyone enjoys the unifying beauty of lake living. The views bring you here, but the comprehensive recreation keeps you engaged and active.
SLEEPY Hollow's Peaceful Neighborhood Character: This established neighborhood offers the quiet, safe, lake-community atmosphere that families and retirees seek. Streets are calm with minimal through-traffic, neighbors take pride in property maintenance and appearance, the lake-oriented location attracts like-minded buyers who appreciate natural beauty, mature trees throughout the area provide shade and established character, and the overall feel is peaceful residential living rather than raw development. For buyers seeking a neighborhood where your home fits naturally among other quality properties, Sleepy Hollow delivers exactly this environment. You're not pioneering an uncertain area - you're joining an established lake community where property values remain stable and neighbors share your appreciation for the beauty that makes Horseshoe Bend special.
Affordable Ownership Options:
Cash Price: Own it outright for just $6,715 plus $249 doc fee (total: $6,964)

About Horseshoe Bend And Izard County:
Horseshoe Bend isn't just another small town - it's a scenic treasure where Ozark beauty, sparkling lakes, and authentic community create the inspirational setting for your lake home.
ICONIC Natural Beauty That Changes With The Seasons: The scenery around Horseshoe Bend offers visual richness that makes every day feel special. The town takes its name from the distinctive horseshoe-shaped bend in the Strawberry River, creating landscapes that photographers and nature lovers find endlessly captivating. Surrounded by rolling Ozark Mountains, crystal-clear lakes fed by natural springs, and forests of oak, hickory, and pine, the area offers views that transform beautifully throughout the year. Spring arrives with dogwood blooms and redbud trees painting hillsides in white and pink, creating stunning backdrops for lake views. Summer provides lush green canopies, perfect blue skies reflected in calm lake waters, and long golden-hour sunsets you'll photograph repeatedly. Fall explodes with spectacular foliage rivaling New England - imagine your home framed by crimson, orange, and gold leaves. Winter brings peaceful beauty with occasional light snow dusting the landscape and creating postcard-perfect scenes from your windows. This seasonal variety means your view never becomes monotonous - it evolves throughout the year, giving you fresh inspiration with each season's arrival.
CROWN Lake, Diamond Lake, And Strawberry River: The three-lake access that defines Horseshoe Bend living means exceptional variety in your water experiences and views. Crown Lake, visible from your property, offers the serene beauty and intimate scale that creates perfect morning reflections and peaceful evening scenes. Diamond Lake provides larger water vistas and excellent fishing opportunities when you want more expansive views and serious angling. The Strawberry River creates moving-water beauty and unique ecosystems different from the lake environments. This variety means you never tire of the water - each lake offers different moods, activities, and scenic qualities. Your 2 blocks from Crown Lake, but you can easily visit the other waters when you want different perspectives and experiences. This diversity of water settings is what makes Horseshoe Bend special compared to single-lake communities.
FOUR-SEASON Moderate Climate For Year-Round Enjoyment: The Ozark region's climate makes your investment work twelve months annually rather than being seasonal. Mild winters with occasional scenic snow but without harsh cold or dangerous ice. Lake views remain accessible and beautiful even in January. Warm, pleasant summers perfect for lake activities without the oppressive heat of southern regions. You can actually enjoy sitting on your porch admiring nature in July without suffering. Spectacular fall weather with crisp mornings and comfortable afternoons ideal for hiking, golfing, and outdoor activities against that gorgeous foliage backdrop. Early spring with blooming flowers and returning wildlife extending your outdoor season. This moderate climate means the beauty you're investing in provides joy year-round rather than being hidden behind snow or obscured by extreme weather for months at a time.
WARM Community Spirit And Genuine Welcome: What truly makes Horseshoe Bend special is the people and the authentic small-town atmosphere increasingly rare in modern America. This is a community where neighbors wave and actually mean it, where people gather at the lake pier and develop genuine friendships, where newcomers are welcomed warmly rather than viewed with suspicion, where community festivals throughout the year bring everyone together, and where there's a real sense of belonging and mutual support. Many property owners in Horseshoe Bend report that the community exceeded their expectations - they came for the views and recreation but stayed for the people and the sense of place. When you're building a home, having friendly neighbors who share your appreciation for beauty and lake life makes the entire experience richer. You're not just buying land - you're joining a community that values the same things you do.
PRACTICAL Amenities Without Sacrificing Scenic Beauty: While Horseshoe Bend offers peaceful, view-blessed living, you're not isolated from practical necessities. Downtown sits just one mile away with grocery stores for weekly shopping, restaurants serving home-cooked meals and local favorites, gas stations and convenience stores, medical clinic for basic healthcare needs, banks and essential services, and other conveniences that make lake living comfortable rather than challenging. For major shopping, specialized medical care, or big-box retailers, Mountain Home sits 45 minutes away and Batesville provides similar amenities at a similar distance. This positioning means you enjoy scenic beauty and peaceful lake living during your daily life while maintaining easy access to metropolitan conveniences when needed. You're not choosing between beauty and practicality - you're enjoying both.
AFFORDABILITY That Makes Beauty Accessible: One of Arkansas's greatest advantages is making quality-of-life improvements achievable without wealth. Annual property taxes on this lot are just $60.56 - less than what many people spend monthly on a single streaming service. The overall cost of living remains far below national averages. Building costs are reasonable compared to coastal or urban markets. Restaurant meals are affordable. Utilities won't shock you. This affordability means your dream of waking to lake life becomes realistic rather than remaining a distant fantasy. For families earning regular middle-class incomes, Horseshoe Bend makes the lake lifestyle achievable without requiring exceptional wealth or going house-poor. You can own beautiful property, build a quality home, and maintain your other financial priorities without impossible sacrifice.
INVESTMENT IN Appreciating Scenic Property: Beyond lifestyle benefits, this property represents sound real estate investment. Lake properties consistently appreciate better than properties without scenic advantages. Lake-area real estate in desirable communities continues trending upward. Properties with ready utilities in established neighborhoods hold value well even during market fluctuations. Your investment today at under $7,000 secures a tangible asset that typically appreciates while simultaneously providing immediate lifestyle benefits through those inspiring Crown Lake views. Whether you build immediately, hold for future development, or eventually sell, you're establishing a financial position with strong fundamentals in a market with proven demand.
Endless Possibilities Await:
Whether you're building your forever home where every morning begins with lake walks, establishing a weekend retreat that feels like permanent vacation, creating a retirement haven where beauty inspires your golden years, investing in scenic property before prices discover true market value, securing a family gathering place where memories are framed by water vistas, or developing a vacation rental in a location guests will love and remember, this 0.4-Acre Sleepy Hollow corner lot delivers the beauty, location, and ready-to-build convenience that make dreams tangible.
Envision evening gatherings where friends comment on your beautiful setting and ask how you found such a special place. Consider holiday visits from family who love coming to your lake home. Think about the daily joy of living somewhere that inspires you rather than somewhere merely functional. Visualize retirement years where nature provides endless entertainment without requiring effort or expense. This property offers you the scenic canvas in the perfect location - you provide the vision for the home you've always wanted.
