PROPERTY: Welcome to 14.78 acres of natural bliss! This gorgeous, gently rolling land inside the Helena-West Helena complex – which itself was settled in the shadows of Crowley’s Ridge (the area’s naturally protective barrier against flooding) – offers an abundance of features that make it the perfect dual-purpose residential and recreational property. Enjoy 812 feet of direct frontage on Springdale Road, a paved public road lined with all city utilities – power, water, sewer – to make your life as easy as possible. The ridge along the road frontage also acts as a great privacy and noise barrier, ensuring your peace and tranquility here. It’s extremely hard to find tracts like this inside the city limits and, best of all, you can do what you want with it – no restrictions apply! A survey is available to help guide your development too. Beyond its practical applications, this land will draw deer and other wildlife into the area thanks to the creek running through its southeast corner that ultimately feeds a pond on the north side of this property. Considering how cheap the taxes are here too (only $150 last year), you have nothing stopping you from enjoying this beautiful piece of nature today . . . all at an unbeatable Acretown price!

OWNER FINANCING: We do not offer owner-financing but you could get a loan through a bank or another lender and we’d be happy to coordinate with them.
OUTSIDE FINANCING: Your best deal for financing will come from a local bank or credit union and we can help you find a great deal. Land loans typically require about 15-25% down.
Call or text Scott directly at 314.639.9777 or email at info@acretown.com if you’d like to discuss an offer.
FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.
WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).
DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, build-ability, and approved/allowable use-age for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
