Are you looking for a country home & acreage, with business possibilities? Check this out!
Here at the junction of US Hwy 59 & Hwy 259 we have a large 7 bedroom house, about 2800 sq ft., which was once a 6 br motel with managers' quarters, and could be again with work. It will need some roof repairs, windows replaced, will need new carpets, and some plumbing repairs. It is a fixer-upper but livable.
You can bring your family, your pets, your horses & cattle, and just retire here on this
9.3 acre ranch nestled in the foothills of the Oachita National Forest, or roll up your sleeves and get ready to put the place back in business again.
There is also a café, mini-mart & 2 bay shop building. It is also approximately 2800 sq ft. It needs a new roof and the cafe's kitchen ceiling and floor will need to be repaired. The kitchen floor has bubbled from water leakeage from the roof. It could also use paint and exterior siding on the back side of the building. This building is also large enough to second-floor and have a spacious home over-looking the whole property.
Its location is ideal; a quaint country junction with busy highway traffic, plenty of tourists in spring and fall, and a steady stream of truckers.
If an investor wanted to put in a gas station, he or she would have to install new tanks above ground. I have no idea what that entails or what EPA regulations might be. If that is an interest of yours, do your "due diligence" research.
We have about 1000 ft. of highway frontage, and a huge gravel parking area by the store. Ten or more big semi rigs can park here with easy access. It is very appealing to travelers and truckers as a convenient and comfortable stop-over enroute.
Many tourists come through this area to see the heart of the Ouachita National Forest, the Talimena Scenic Byway, which winds its way along the crest of the Winding Stair and Rich Mountains, offering breathtaking scenery. There are many miles of trails to explore here in the Ouachita mountains. Most folks like to explore by horseback or by ATV. You can explore the wilderness as far as you want, right here from your backyard. Here in southeastern Oklahoma we are surrounded by gorgeous forested mountains and a decent climate year round.
Years ago this place used to be a very popular Restaurant/Truck Stop as well as a Petting Zoo and Wild Animal Park with cougars and other wild animals. It has a nice pond. Stock it with catfish. The pasture is fenced in. There are some animal pens and an aviary.
There is also a mobile home pad on the far side of the property, complete with water, septic, and electric hookups. You could put in a large mobile home at this site, or you could build a nice-sized country Campground/RV Park… A Retreat, a Youth Camp, Hikers, Bikers, or a Horse-Lovers' Campground.
You could put in several greenhouses and create a self-sufficient farm. The possible uses for this property are numerous.
There are NO ZONING RESTRICTIONS HERE!
It’s a nice place to enjoy your own personal Shangri-La. It’s gorgeous and peaceful here. If you aren't ambitious and just want a really nice chunk of land in the country, subdivide the place. You could remodel the house and sell the store, or sell the far side to an rv park developer, or put in another home there too, since it has already got all the utilities in. Possibilities are limited by imagination and financial resources... Would you like to see a lot of photos?
