The Lake Town You Rented, Now a Piece You Own
Every summer it's the same. You book a week at some lake, unpack the truck, and by the time you've figured out where the fish are biting it's Sunday and you're loading back up. You've said it out loud more than once: someday a corner of a place like this ought to be yours.
This is that corner. Cherokee Village runs on seven lakes and two golf courses, with the South Fork Spring River threading through the Ozark foothills, and this lot sits a short drive from the water without paying the price of standing on it. Weekend angler, someday-retiree, cabin builder, golfer who's tired of paying to play three states away? There's a spot here for all of you. When you're ready, you put up a single-family place on your own timeline and let the seasons do the rest.
The town straddles Fulton and Sharp counties up in the northern Arkansas hills, close to Hardy and Ash Flat. It started small, 400 acres and a river, back in 1948, and grew into 13,000-plus acres wrapped around all that water. The lot you're looking at is on the Fulton side, in the Zia neighborhood, on a paved and named street like the rest of the 300 miles of them in town.
Here's the straight of it: this is a build-it-right town lot, not a park-the-camper-and-call-it-home lot, and that's exactly what keeps it a neighborhood with paved streets and city water instead of a field of trailers.
A town that started with a river and 400 acres has been making room for one more family for the better part of a century. This is what one more looks like.
