There is a concrete slab foundation and an electric meter on the East wall of the shop building.

Agent’s Comments:  This is the ideal setting for a relaxing and peaceful weekend getaway from city life or even a full time residence.  This is a very unique property that provides direct access to the Ouachita National Forest Recreational Area.  In my opinion, this property can be classified as true “Investment Grade Recreational Property”.  A very private, secluded and peaceful setting.  This would be the perfect location for a weekend cabin or full time residence.
