Land Description
Own Your Perfect Lake Country Retreat - 0.62-Acre Lot Steps from Pioneer Lake
Discover the ideal foundation for your family's lake getaway on this generous 0.62-Acre lot in Horseshoe Bend's desirable Pioneer Park neighborhood. With Pioneer Lake just down the street, less than a mile from Pioneer Lake Beach, surrounded by comprehensive recreation from boating to golf to horseback riding, weekly curbside trash service, and all utilities ready, this property isn't just land - it's your opportunity to build the family gathering place where summer memories are made, where children and grandchildren grow up swimming and fishing in Arkansas's beautiful Ozark lakes, and where your investment in quality of life pays dividends through decades of family traditions, outdoor adventures, and eventual retirement living in the setting you've been dreaming about.
Why This Property Stands Out:
PIONEER Lake Just Down The Street: Imagine owning property where the lake that will become central to your family's summer traditions sits just down the street - close enough for easy daily access yet far enough to avoid premium waterfront pricing and flood zone complications. Walk down the street to see Pioneer Lake and scout fishing conditions before breakfast. Stroll to the water for evening family walks becoming cherished routines. Children can safely bike to the lake from your property for supervised swimming and play. The proximity creates genuine lake lifestyle connection rather than just claiming lake access while being miles from actual water. Your family lake house has that special lake-area character and convenient access that makes properties genuinely valuable and usable without paying six-figure waterfront premiums. Evening walks naturally lead families to the water. Daily fishing trips launch from steps away rather than requiring long drives. Your investment captures lake-proximity value that will appreciate and make this property stand out when family eventually gathers here or when you're ready for retirement living.
LESS Than A Mile From Pioneer Lake Beach: Your family's lake lifestyle could revolve around Pioneer Lake Beach less than a mile away - close enough for spontaneous daily visits without elaborate planning or long drives consuming precious vacation time. Load the kids in golf carts or bikes for beach trips without vehicle logistics. Make spontaneous afternoon swimming runs when summer heat arrives. Walk to the beach for evening relaxation and sunset watching as family traditions develop. Meet other lake families at the beach who become friends and create social networks for your children. Return home easily for lunch, rest time, or forgotten items without long drives disrupting the day. The proximity means beach and lake activities become naturally integrated into your family routine when visiting rather than requiring dedicated planning and travel. For families building vacation homes, having the beach this close transforms how you experience property ownership - your lake house sits at the center of activity rather than requiring constant drives to reach actual water access. This convenience is what makes vacation homes genuinely enjoyable rather than creating logistical stress that undermines the whole purpose.
GENEROUS 0.62-Acre Size For Family Home And Activities: At over half an acre, this property provides the substantial space families actually need for lake house living, outdoor activities, and multi-generational gatherings. Build a sizable family home with enough bedrooms for children, grandchildren, and visiting extended family. Create extensive outdoor living areas including covered porches for rainy lake days, stone patios for outdoor family dining, fire pit areas for evening s'mores and storytelling, and lawn games areas for cornhole, badminton, or volleyball. Establish boat and water toy storage without cramping your living areas. Park multiple vehicles when entire family visits for summer gatherings. Add detached garage or workshop for storing lake equipment and outdoor gear. Maintain beautiful landscaping and play areas for children to run and explore safely. The 0.62-Acre size means you're never choosing between adequate home size and outdoor space - you have room for both, creating the complete family lake retreat where everyone has space to enjoy themselves whether they're 5 or 75 years old.
ACCESS TO Four Beaches ON Three Different Lakes: Living in Horseshoe Bend means unparalleled water variety that keeps families engaged and accommodates different ages, preferences, and moods. Pioneer Lake Beach offers convenient swimming and family activities less than a mile away. Diamond Lake provides excellent fishing and different beach access. Crown Lake adds another swimming and recreation option with its own character. The Strawberry River creates unique moving-water experiences and natural exploration. Four different beach access points mean family vacations never become monotonous or limited to one crowded spot. When one beach is busy, shift to another. When teenagers want different activities than young children, split up knowing multiple options exist nearby. When you want variety throughout the week or summer, multiple beaches provide fresh experiences without leaving the Horseshoe Bend area. This beach diversity is what makes lake vacation homes genuinely valuable long-term - families don't outgrow the area or get bored because multiple water settings accommodate changing interests and ages as children grow.
MULTIPLE Boat Launch Points For Comprehensive Water Access: Beyond beaches, this location provides strategic access to three different boat launches supporting varied family water activities throughout vacations and summers. Box Hound Marina on Crown Lake offers full-service launching with amenities, supplies, and rental options if needed. Diamond Lake Boat Launch provides convenient access to quality fishing waters. Strawberry River Launch creates opportunities for river exploration and float trips. This multi-launch access means family boating activities adapt to what you want to do - launch fishing boats for parents and teenagers pursuing bass, put in pontoons for leisurely family cruises with grandparents comfortable onboard, float the river for adventurous older kids wanting moving-water experiences, or launch kayaks and paddleboards for younger children learning water skills. Having three distinct launch points within easy reach provides the flexibility active families need to keep everyone engaged and happy during lake vacations rather than being limited to single-use water access.
GOLF Course Just Three-Quarters Mile Away: Turkey Mountain Golf Course sits remarkably close at just 0.75 miles from your property, adding valuable recreation for multi-generational families. Parents and grandparents can play beautiful rounds through Ozark scenery at affordable rates. Introduce children and teenagers to golf in stunning natural settings. Enjoy morning rounds before afternoon lake activities creating varied daily routines. Walk or bike to the course for exercise combining golf with outdoor activity. The proximity means golf becomes easily accessible rather than requiring extensive travel, allowing families to incorporate it naturally into vacation routines. For families where different members enjoy different activities, having world-class golf this close alongside comprehensive water access means everyone finds pursuits they love, making family gatherings harmonious and enjoyable for all ages and interests.
COMPREHENSIVE Family Recreation Within Walking And Short Driving Distance: This location provides exceptional access to diverse activities keeping every family member engaged during visits. The public pool and library sit just half a mile away providing rainy-day activities, convenient lap swimming, and air-conditioned refuge during peak heat. Horse stables 3 miles away offer trail rides introducing children to riding and Western experiences. Downtown stores and restaurants less than a mile away provide convenient provisions and dining when nobody feels like cooking after lake days. This comprehensive recreation access means multi-generational family gatherings remain harmonious because everyone finds activities they enjoy. Teenagers can golf while younger children swim at the pool. Grandparents can read at the library while parents boat with kids. Families can ride horses together creating shared memories. The variety prevents boredom during extended summer stays and accommodates the reality that large family gatherings include diverse ages and interests requiring different activities.
WEEKLY Curbside Trash Removal: The availability of weekly curbside trash service provides crucial practical convenience often missing in rural vacation properties. No need to haul trash to distant dumps during vacation stays. Simple, sanitary waste management keeping your lake house clean and pleasant. Convenient routine trash service just like suburban homes. Reduced pest and odor issues from proper waste removal. This seemingly small amenity makes enormous difference in vacation home comfort and convenience - you're not spending vacation time dealing with trash logistics or leaving properties in poor condition between visits. The weekly service supports extended family stays and full-time retirement living equally well.
GENTLY Sloping Terrain Ready For Family Home Construction: The property features buildable terrain that makes construction straightforward while providing the ideal canvas for designing the family lake house you're envisioning. No expensive excavation fighting difficult slopes eating into construction budget. Simpler foundation work allowing investment to focus on home size and features families need. Easier positioning of the home to optimize outdoor spaces and access to the lake down the street. Straightforward landscaping creating safe play areas for children without terracing complexities. Better accessibility for elderly grandparents and young children avoiding steep terrain challenges. The level nature means your architect and builder can focus on creating the functional, beautiful family space you need rather than fighting topography. For families investing in vacation homes expecting to use them for decades as children grow and eventually bring their own families, this cooperative terrain ensures the property remains accessible and functional throughout all life stages.
UTILITIES Ready Including Paved Road: Unlike raw land requiring expensive infrastructure that consumes construction budgets, this lot comes with modern conveniences already in place. Power lines ready for immediate connection when you're ready to build your family retreat. Municipal water available at the street eliminating well costs and water quality concerns for family drinking and cooking. Paved road access providing year-round reliability and the polished appearance befitting a quality family lake home investment. These ready utilities mean construction timelines remain predictable, unexpected infrastructure costs don't derail budgets, and you can begin building on your schedule without delays for utility extensions. Whether you're planning to build next summer or in several years as children finish school or retirement approaches, knowing infrastructure is ready provides flexibility and certainty for family planning.
Affordable Ownership Options:
Cash Price: Own it outright for just $7,225 plus $249 doc fee (total: $7,474)
Owner Financing - No Credit Check Required: We believe family lake property ownership should be accessible to middle-income families pursuing quality of life investments, which is why we offer straightforward owner financing with no bank involvement, no credit checks, no interest and no complicated approval processes.
• Initial deposit: Just $349 to get started (includes $249 non-refundable doc fee plus $100 down payment toward purchase price)
• Monthly payments: Only $200 per month for 42 months - less than many families spend monthly on activities and entertainment that create no lasting value or memories
• Total financed amount: $8,500 over 42 months
• Deed transferred upon completion: Once your final payment is made, the deed is transferred and filed with the county recorder in your name - it's that simple.
No hidden fees. No balloon payments. No interest. No prepayment penalties. Just honest, transparent terms that make lake property ownership achievable for working families who value experiences and memories over material possessions. The modest monthly payment means securing your family's lake land doesn't require choosing between current financial responsibilities and future quality of life - you can manage both simultaneously while building equity in property that will serve your family for generations.
About Horseshoe Bend:
Horseshoe Bend isn't just another lake town - it's a genuine family-friendly community where Ozark beauty, comprehensive water recreation, safe atmosphere, and welcoming spirit create the perfect setting for your family's lake traditions and eventual retirement dreams.
THREE Lakes Providing Lifelong Family Variety: The exceptional three-lake system defining Horseshoe Bend creates water experiences that families never outgrow across decades of ownership. Pioneer Lake just down the street offers excellent fishing for teaching children angling skills and family bonding. Crown Lake provides larger water for boating adventures and beach activities. The Strawberry River adds moving-water experiences, float trips, and natural exploration creating variety. This diversity means your family lake house remains relevant and exciting as children grow from toddlers to teenagers to adults eventually bringing their own children. Preschoolers safely play at calm beach areas. Elementary children learn fishing and kayaking skills. Teenagers challenge themselves with river floats and water sports. Adults enjoy peaceful fishing and boating relaxation. Grandparents appreciate varied options accommodating different mobility and energy levels. Your property investment serves multiple generations precisely because the three-lake variety prevents outgrowing the area.
SAFE, Family-Friendly Community Atmosphere: Horseshoe Bend provides the safe, welcoming environment families need for vacation homes where children will grow up and eventually bring their own families. Low crime rates allow children to bike to beaches and explore safely. Friendly locals welcome seasonal families warmly rather than treating visitors with suspicion. Other property owners tend to be like-minded families pursuing similar lake lifestyles and family traditions. Clean, well-maintained beaches and facilities reflecting community pride. Local businesses and restaurants cater to families rather than rowdy party atmospheres. This family-oriented culture means your lake house becomes a place where children thrive, where parents relax rather than constantly worry, and where the memories created are positive and wholesome rather than stressful or concerning.
AFFORDABLE Property Taxes Support Long-Term Ownership: At just $53.72 annually - less than $4.50 monthly - property taxes on this lot are remarkably low, ensuring your family lake property remains affordable to own across decades. These minimal taxes mean holding the property long-term never becomes financial burden forcing sales. Family ownership can continue through career changes, economic shifts, or transitions from vacation home to retirement residence. The next generation can inherit or purchase the property without prohibitive ongoing costs. This tax affordability is essential for making lake homes genuinely sustainable family investments rather than short-term luxuries eventually abandoned due to cost pressures. Many families find these minimal Arkansas property taxes are what allows multi-generational lake property ownership that creates lasting family heritage.
PRACTICAL Amenities Supporting Vacation Home Living: Horseshoe Bend successfully balances lake recreation with practical conveniences that make vacation home ownership comfortable and sustainable. Grocery stores provide weekly provisions for extended summer stays. Restaurants offer family dining when nobody feels like cooking after lake days. Gas stations, hardware stores, and basic services handle routine needs efficiently. Medical facilities provide urgent care and routine services if needed during visits. Banks and other essentials are all nearby. For major shopping or specialized needs, Mountain Home sits just 45 minutes away. This practical infrastructure means vacation home living remains comfortable and convenient rather than requiring constant planning or doing without necessities. Families can settle in for extended summer stays without feeling deprived or constantly driving long distances for basic needs.
FOUR-SEASON Beauty Creates Year-Round Appeal: The Ozark region's seasonal changes transform Horseshoe Bend throughout the year, creating varied beauty that makes the property appealing beyond just summer. Spring brings dogwood blooms and fishing as lakes warm. Summer provides classic lake living with swimming, boating, and outdoor activities. Fall explodes with spectacular foliage creating photographer-worthy scenery for family gatherings and Thanksgiving visits. Winter offers peaceful beauty with occasional snow creating postcard scenes without harsh conditions preventing access. This four-season appeal means your family investment works year-round rather than sitting idle most of the year. Weekend visits throughout spring and fall. Summer extended stays. Holiday gatherings during beautiful autumn weather. Your lake house serves the family across all seasons rather than being single-season property with limited annual use.
INVESTMENT Potential And Property Appreciation: Lake-access property in desirable areas like Horseshoe Bend generally appreciates steadily as lakefront becomes increasingly scarce and expensive. Your family investment builds equity while creating memories and quality of life. The combination of three-lake access, comprehensive recreation, established neighborhood, and ready infrastructure positions this property well for long-term value growth. Whether you eventually transition from vacation home to retirement residence, pass the property to children, or someday sell for retirement funding, the investment dimension supports the quality of life benefits. You're not just spending money on vacations that create no lasting value - you're building equity in an appreciating asset that also happens to enhance your family's life immeasurably.
Endless Possibilities Await:
Whether you're building your family's summer lake house for decades of memories, establishing your future retirement residence while children still enjoy it, creating the family gathering place for reunions and traditions, investing in lake property while it remains affordable, developing a weekend retreat from suburban stress, securing lake-area property before retirement, or establishing the legacy property where grandchildren eventually bring their children, this 0.62-Acre Pioneer Park lot delivers the lake proximity, comprehensive access, generous space, and established infrastructure families need for successful lake home ownership.
Picture your family gathered on a large deck, children running between your yard and Pioneer Lake down the street. Imagine teaching grandchildren to fish while teenagers golf nearby. Envision summer traditions forming around beach days, boat launches, and evening walks to the lake. Consider family photos with Ozark scenery as backdrops creating visual records of children growing up. Think about the investment appreciation building wealth while memories accumulate. Visualize retirement years when your family lake house becomes your permanent residence surrounded by decades of memories. This property offers you the lake-area canvas with perfect infrastructure - you provide the vision for the family traditions and retirement dreams.
