Land Description
Own Your Perfect Balance Property - 0.35-Acre Lot Near Diamond Lake With Expansion Option
Discover the ideal combination of peace and practicality on this welcoming 0.35-Acre lot in Horseshoe Bend's convenient Executive neighborhood. With Diamond Lake just 0.4 miles away, boat launch less than a mile, shops and healthcare nearby, power and water ready, high-speed internet available, weekly trash service, expansion option to 0.68 acres, and owner financing at just $150 monthly, this property isn't just land - it's your opportunity to escape rising city costs and stress while maintaining the modern conveniences that make daily life comfortable, to build the modest, manageable home in the friendly small-town setting where neighbors actually wave, and to finally simplify your life without sacrificing access to groceries, healthcare, and the basics you need.
Why This Property Stands Out:
JUST 0.4 Miles From Diamond Lake: Imagine owning property where the lake sits less than half a mile from your door - close enough for easy daily access yet affordable unlike actual waterfront. Walk to Diamond Lake for morning strolls or evening relaxation without requiring vehicles. Drive less than a minute when bringing fishing gear, kayaks, or visiting with friends. Watch lake conditions easily before planning outdoor activities. The proximity creates genuine lake lifestyle connection rather than just claiming lake access while being miles from actual water. Your retirement or downsized living includes that special lake-area character and convenient access without paying six-figure waterfront premiums or dealing with flood zones and shoreline maintenance. For retirees or anyone seeking simpler living, having the lake this close means outdoor recreation and natural beauty become part of your regular routine rather than requiring elaborate planning. Life is genuinely easier when the lake sits just 0.4 miles away.
LESS Than ONE Mile From Diamond Lake Boat Launch: Beyond the lake itself, the boat launch sits less than a mile away providing convenient water access for fishing and recreation. Launch boats for fishing trips without long drives or complicated logistics. Access the water spontaneously when conditions are right rather than planning all-day expeditions. Return home quickly after fishing to clean your catch properly. Meet fellow anglers and lake enthusiasts at the launch who become neighbors and friends. The convenience means lake activities fit naturally into your routine when desired rather than being occasional events requiring extensive preparation. For people seeking easier living, this convenience eliminates barriers making outdoor activities genuinely accessible rather than theoretically available but practically difficult.
BOX Hound Marina Just 3 Miles Away: Additional water access at Box Hound Marina on Crown Lake sits just 3 miles away providing variety and full-service amenities. Access different water and fishing when desired. Utilize marina services, supplies, and facilities when needed. Enjoy beach access and additional recreation options. The variety means you're never limited to one location or one set of conditions. Life is easier when multiple convenient options exist rather than being dependent on single access points.
EXPAND TO 0.68 Acres With Adjoining Lot: Planning a larger yard, extra privacy, or future flexibility? An adjoining 0.33-Acre lot is available for purchase, allowing you to control 0.68 total acres. The combined acreage creates generous space for comfortable home with substantial yards, extra privacy with additional buffer from neighbors, room for gardens, workshops, or future additions, parking for boats, RVs, or visiting family vehicles, flexibility as needs change during retirement or downsizing. At just $300 monthly for both lots combined, you're securing over half an acre for less than most people pay for car payments while building equity in property enhancing your quality of life.
COMPREHENSIVE Utilities Including High-Speed Internet: Unlike raw land requiring expensive infrastructure, this lot comes with comprehensive modern conveniences making life genuinely easier. Power ready for immediate connection when you're ready to build. Municipal water available eliminating well costs and water quality concerns. Weekly curbside trash removal providing sanitary convenience just like city homes. High-speed internet available supporting modern communication, entertainment, and staying connected with family. These ready utilities mean construction remains straightforward, daily living includes modern conveniences you're accustomed to, and you're not sacrificing basic comforts for affordability. The high-speed internet especially matters for people staying connected with distant family, streaming entertainment, or managing finances and healthcare online.
GENTLY Sloping Terrain Ready For Modest Home: The property's terrain makes construction straightforward and affordable for people building practical, manageable homes. No expensive excavation or complicated foundation work eating into budgets. Simpler construction allowing focus on comfortable living space rather than site preparation. Easier landscaping and yard maintenance for retirees or anyone seeking manageable property. Better accessibility for all ages avoiding steep terrain challenges. This landscape means building the modest home you need remains affordable and practical. For downsizers or retirees, this cooperative terrain ensures your home remains accessible and manageable as you age.
SHOPS, Healthcare, And Restaurants Nearby: Horseshoe Bend provides essential services and amenities close enough for genuine convenience. Grocery stores providing weekly shopping without long drives. Healthcare facilities for routine medical care and urgent needs. Restaurants serving home-cooked meals when you don't feel like cooking. Gas stations and basic services handling everyday needs. This practical infrastructure means retired or simplified living remains comfortable rather than requiring constant drives to distant cities. You can manage daily life easily without isolation or deprivation. Life is genuinely easier when groceries, healthcare, and basics sit reasonably close.
FRIENDLY Small-Town Community: What truly makes this property special is the welcoming Horseshoe Bend community where neighbors wave, where locals know each other, and where newcomers are welcomed warmly rather than viewed with suspicion. This is a place where people actually chat at the grocery store, where community spirit still exists, where you're not just another anonymous face. The town hosts local festivals and community events throughout the year bringing people together. Many property owners report the community exceeded expectations - they came for affordability but stayed for the friendships and sense of belonging. For people escaping impersonal cities or seeking genuine community during retirement, this welcoming atmosphere provides the social connection that makes any place feel like home.
MINIMAL Property Taxes Protect Fixed Budgets: At just $19.48 annually per lot - less than $1.63 monthly - property taxes are remarkably low, protecting fixed incomes and retirement budgets. These minimal taxes mean owning property never becomes financial burden. No worry about Social Security or pension being consumed by escalating taxes. Freedom to retire or downsize without financial pressure from carrying costs. The tax affordability is essential for making simple living genuinely sustainable rather than creating new financial stress. Many retirees find these minimal Arkansas taxes are what allows comfortable retirement on modest incomes.

About Horseshoe Bend:
Horseshoe Bend isn't just another small town - it's a genuine refuge where affordable living, practical amenities, lake recreation, and welcoming community create the peaceful, manageable lifestyle you've been seeking.
AFFORDABLE Living Transforms Budgets: One of Arkansas's greatest advantages is making comfortable living achievable on modest incomes, and Horseshoe Bend exemplifies this perfectly. Property taxes are minimal as you've seen. Cost of living is far below national averages and expensive states. Grocery prices are remarkably affordable. Restaurant meals cost reasonable amounts rather than inflated urban prices. Utilities remain reasonable without excessive fees. Gas typically costs less than national averages. Housing costs are a fraction of city markets. This isn't slightly cheaper - it's transformatively more affordable, meaning Social Security, pensions, or working-class incomes suddenly cover everything comfortably with money left over. Many people find they can live well in Horseshoe Bend on incomes that left them struggling in cities or expensive suburbs.
PRACTICAL Amenities Without Big-City Hassles: Horseshoe Bend successfully balances small-town peace with conveniences making daily life manageable. Grocery stores provide weekly shopping efficiently. Gas stations and convenience stores handle quick stops. Restaurants serve home-cooked meals at affordable prices. Medical facilities provide basic care and urgent services. Pharmacies fill prescriptions and offer health supplies. Banks handle financial transactions. Post office manages mail and shipping. Hardware stores supply home and garden needs. For major shopping or specialized services, Mountain Home sits just 30 minutes away. These aren't luxury amenities, but they're exactly what practical living requires - essentials within easy reach without requiring all-day shopping trips to distant cities.
LAKE Recreation Without Premium Costs: Living near Diamond Lake provides water recreation and natural beauty enhancing quality of life without expensive waterfront pricing. Fishing, kayaking, and peaceful lake enjoyment available close to home. Beautiful natural scenery rather than concrete and traffic. Outdoor activities keeping you healthy and engaged. Social opportunities at boat launches and beaches. The lake access adds genuine value to daily life while property costs remain affordable for modest budgets. You get lake lifestyle benefits without six-figure waterfront costs.
SAFE, Friendly Community: Horseshoe Bend offers genuine safety allowing you to relax rather than remaining constantly vigilant. Low crime rates provide real security. The tight-knit community means people notice unusual activity and look out for each other. You can take evening walks without worry. The slower pace means less traffic and fewer accidents. Emergency services are responsive and professional. For anyone coming from areas where safety is daily concern, Horseshoe Bend's security provides enormous relief and peace of mind.
FOUR-SEASON Mild Climate: The Ozark region offers comfortable weather year-round without extremes complicating life or threatening health. Mild winters with occasional scenic snow but without harsh cold or dangerous ice. Warm, pleasant summers without oppressive heat. Spectacular fall weather and beautiful foliage. Early spring extending outdoor seasons. This moderate climate means year-round comfortable living, lower utility costs, easier property maintenance, and year-round outdoor enjoyment. For retirees or anyone concerned about extreme weather, the Ozark climate provides genuine advantages.
SIMPLE, Stress-Free Lifestyle: Perhaps most importantly, Horseshoe Bend offers simplicity and reduced stress making life genuinely more enjoyable. No traffic congestion means arriving everywhere quickly and calmly. No parking struggles or fees. No pressure to keep up with wealthy neighbors. No complicated HOA rules and fees. No constant competition or stress. Life moves at a pace that feels natural rather than frenetic. You have time to chat with neighbors, to notice seasonal changes, to actually enjoy surroundings rather than rushing past everything.
Endless Possibilities Await:
Whether you're building your retirement home where affordability and convenience meet, creating a downsized residence perfect for simpler living, establishing a stress-free base after years of city chaos, relocating for lower costs while maintaining amenities, securing property near family already in the area, developing a modest home supporting peace of mind, or simply investing in the small-town lifestyle you deserve, this 0.35-Acre Executive lot (expandable to 0.68 acres) delivers the perfect balance of nature, convenience, affordability, and community.
