Here is our seller (listing #0192) with a gorgeous catfish caught right in his own backyard! Catfish is just one fish that is found in Cherokee Village lakes which are also stocked with croppie and bass and other native fish. You can have fresh fish year round!

<+71 Lots for $75,000 (including closing costs)
+Lots are 1/3 acre (m/l) each = approximately 24 acres
+Platted & filed at the courthouse, surveyed, and roads roughed in
+Utilities (rural water and electric) are close and can be extended
+Easy access from Arkansas Hwy. 62/412
Located between the cities of Mammoth Spring, Hardy and Cherokee Village, AR, this subdivision is not in a city, but in the county and has no restrictions!
These wooded Ozark Mountain lots are close to a small lake and the South Fork of the Spring River where fish and wildlife abound.
Come and see why they call Arkansas the “Natural State”!

If you have never been in real estate, let me show you why this purchase is such a bargain. Normally, with a Real Estate Development, you would have the following steps:
1. Purchase the undeveloped acreage. ($2,000-$3,000 per acre)
2. Hire a civil engineer to layout the roads and lots on paper.
($1,000 per acre average)
3. Have a survey co. stake all of the lots. ($1,500 per lot)
4. Hire dozer co. to rough-cut the roads.
5. Contract the installation of the water lines. ($10 per foot)
estimate $80,000
6. Improve the roads for cars and RVs, ($85,000 estimate)
7. Build 8 concrete pads for RVs and Campers. (10ft x 30 ft x 4 in.
at $1,000 each) Put the pads on every other lot.
8. Install 2 complete septic systems. ($2,500 each) These should go
on 2 lots that do not have Pads.
9. Blacktop the entrance just beyond the first 20 Lots. ($20,000-
$30,000)
BUT, with these lots, the engineering and platting have already been done and the roads are rough-cut in. The lots were staked many years ago so you can start at #5 and go from there. To bring this property to a level #8, you would have an investment of about $300,000.00

QUESTIONS THAT HELP
MAKE A HOUSE SELL FASTER
(WILL THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS HELP ME GET MORE CASH FOR MY HOME, IN A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME, AND WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE?)
1. Does the house or any part of the house need painting (exterior— do it, interior—light)?
2. Shall I reseed the lawn and get my landscaping in top shape?
3. What about the screens? Any holes? What about the windows,
do they work well or do they need attention? (ammonia takes out
most water stains.)
4. Does the carpet need cleaning? How about replacing?
5. Are pets under control at all times?
6. Are all appliances in good working order?
7. Should I stay out of a prospective Buyer’s way?
8. What is the Buyer’s first impression of the exterior of our
home? What can I do to improve it?
9. What is the Buyer’s first impression as they step inside my
home? What can I do to improve it?
10. Since the Buyer will be looking in the closets, should I take some
of the clothes out to make them look roomier?
11. Can I take items from kitchen cabinets to make them more
spacious?
12. Is there any furniture I could store or dispose of to make the
appearance of rooms seem larger?
13. Do any cabinets need to be touched up or refinished?
14. Should I give my agent a list of things my family likes about the
house and the neighborhood?
15. What about the doormats? Should I replace them with new ones
that are neutral and omit our family’s name? Should I have a
throw rug for boots and shoes inside?
16. Should I replace an ornate item that a Buyer may want as part of
the home? For example, a special chandelier or wall system?
17. Should I ask my agent for a list of recommendations prepared
specifically for helping market my home?
18. Is the price and terms offered going to appeal to most of the
buying public in my price range?
19. Do I need to be aware of other homes similar to mine also being
offered for sale?
20. Are the garage and storage areas as clean and neat as they

TEN REASONS WHY NOW
IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY A HOME!
1. Selection, selection, selection. There are plenty of homes on the market in Cherokee Village, Highland/Hardy area. Whether you are looking for a lake or golf course home or lot, the buyer will find plenty of options.
2. No Bidding Wars. There is no competitive bidding in this buyer's market.
3. You can make an offer. Today the sale price, list vs. price ration, is about 96%. A seller will not be insulted if you make them an offer they can't refuse.
4. Patience is tolerated. Today a buyer can take their time. Look at several homes and think about their decision for a few hours.
5. Due diligence is welcomed. In this market a buyer is encouraged to obtain a home inspection, termite inspection, and appraisal. In 2005 many buyers waived these contingencies in order gain an advantage with multiple offers.
6. There are new homes available at discounted prices. In today’s market new homes are being offered at greatly reduced prices.
7. Repair requests are welcomed. After a buyer completes a home inspection, they are allowed to submit a repair request to the seller and not worry about the seller deciding to go with back-up buyers instead of making the necessary repairs..
8. Few, if any investors. In 2005 and 2006 a lot of sales were to investors. These non-owner occupied buyers caused the market to inflate and affordability to decline. Mortgage fraud became commonplace. It's a great time to buy without having to compete with hundreds of prospective landlords.
9. Location, location, location. Today's buyers can find reasonable priced homes in the areas they want to live.
10. Real Financing is available. The 'wink, wink' zero down, no doc, adjustable, sub-prime loans are gone. Fixed rates are back. FHA financing, first time homeowner bond programs, special loans for teachers, and police officers are back in business. It's a great time to buy real estate!
