2440 Heber Springs Rds, Desha, AR

RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A TRUE PIECE OF INDEPENDENCE COUNTY HISTORY! I can envision an Event Venue, Bed & Breakfast, so many possibilities with this picturesque property. Originally built circa 1870 by Civil War veteran Samuel McCutchen Wyatt & his wife Mary Redmon Gainer, the home began as a traditional dogtrot farmhouse & was thoughtfully expanded around 1900 to include it's second story & rear addition. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this property stands as a rare surviving example of post-war Arkansas Homestead Architecture. The house is situated at the junction of Highway 25 (Heber Springs Road) and Gainer Ferry Road and has a beautiful level lawn with massive trees providing a canopy of shade around the home. 2 cut stone chimneys on either end of the house are. .. remarkable statements all of their own. The interior retains much of it's historic charm despite the modernization of city water, a septic system & electricity. The main level has a formal living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The upper level offers 2 very large bedrooms, 1 has a tub shower installed & the plumbing stubbed for a sink & commode. (The house had some renovations in the 1990s to become a bed & breakfast). There is also plumbing stubbed in the large closet of the other upper level bedroom. The interior contents can convey! There is a large barn toward the back of the property that with some clearing appears to be a beautiful structure and remnants of some of the old fencing just give all the basis to revive this homestead. This property is in a high traffic, very visible location on the road traveling between Batesville, Mountain View, Heber Springs. The land is very level with 2 road frontages.
