Billy Creek Recreational Cabin – National Forest Area

Location:  This “One of a Kind” property is nestled in the heart of the Ouachita National Forest in a beautiful valley setting between Lenox Ridge and the Winding Stair Mountain Range to the North and the majestic Kiamichi Mountain Range to the South.  The property is less than 300 feet from Billy Creek, which is a near year round source of crystal clear water that provides recreational opportunities for fishing and kayaking. This property is less than 1 mile from the 1.8 million acre Ouachita National Forest, which provides direct access to hunting opportunities for whitetail deer, eastern wild turkey, black bear, wild hog and other small game as well as direct access to an impressive network of ATV, hiking and horseback riding trails that are operated and maintained by the US Forest Service.  The property is located east of the small community or Muse, OK.  Nearby towns include Broken Bow, Hochatown, Talihina and Poteau, which is the county seat.  Broken Bow Lake, which offers some of the best fishing in Oklahoma, is only a short 30 minute drive away to the South.  Sardis Lake, Cedar Lake and Wister Lake are only minutes away as well.  The Talimena Scenic Drive is five miles North of the Cabin.   The property is a 1.5 hour drive from Fort Smith, Arkansas and about 3.5 hours from Dallas, Texas. 

Property Address:  26660 Hidden Pines Lane; Muse, Oklahoma 74949.

Services to Property:  Electricity, rural water, aerobic septic system and propane storage tank. 

Land:  The cabin sits on 1.13 acre (m/l) of surveyed land that is level to gently sloping and completely covered with a nice stand of mature timber that is native to south-eastern Oklahoma inducing a diverse variety of oaks, sweet gum, hickory, eastern red cedar and native shortleaf pine.  A tributary of Billy Creek flows along the North property line with the cabin overlooking the creek.

Access:  This property has legal and all-weather access by means of a paved county-maintained road (Billy Creek Road).  There is a private drive (Hidden Pines Lane) extending off Billy Creek Road with entry gate that provides access to the cabin.

Potential Income Producing Property:  The cabin could easily be rented out on a part time basis to provide an additional income stream when not in use by the owners.  This cabin is conveniently located adjacent to the Billy Creek Recreational Area and an impressive network of ATV, hiking and horseback riding trails throughout the 1.8 million acre Ouachita National Forest.  The cabin provides direct access to these riding trails.

Cabin:  The cabin was built in 2023 and includes roughly 960 square feet of heated and cooled living space.  The cabin has 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, large kitchen/living room and covered porches. The exterior of the cabin was designed with a virtually maintenance free exterior with vinyl board and batten siding, rock wainscoting, covered porches, composite shingle roof and vinyl siding in the soffit areas.  Additionally, the cabin was designed to be very energy efficient to minimize heating and cooling costs with spray foam insulation, vinyl double pain windows with Low-E glass and Argon gas and on demand tank less hot water heater.  The interior of the cabin was finished out with rustic tongue and groove white pine with vaulted ceilings, water proof vinyl plank flooring, knotty pine interior doors and custom made cabinetry.  There are floor to ceiling windows in the living room that provide a great view of the creek. The level of craftsmanship, attention to detail and quality trim work throughout is very impressive. 

Covered Back Porch:  There are nice 10 ft x 32 ft covered back porch that overlooks a tributary of Billy Creek. There is a natural gas outdoor fireplace.

Agent’s Comments:  This is a beautiful custom built cabin with a high level of craftsmanship, attention to detail and quality trim work throughout.  The location provides an ideal setting for a relaxing and peaceful weekend getaway from city life or even a full time residence.  No traffic, no hurrying, just simple life away from the hectic city.  This is a very unique property that provides access to both Billy Creek and the Ouachita National Forest Recreational Area.  This cabin offers “Off the Porch” access to the 4-wheeler, side by side, hiking and horseback riding trails in the National Forest.  In my opinion, this property can be classified as true “Investment Grade Recreational Property”.  This cabin has good income producing potential with the ability for the new owner to cover monthly payments while still booking times to enjoy the property for themselves.
