4050 Highway 71, Mena, AR 71953

Some properties whisper “opportunity.” This one stands on the front porch of Highway 71, cups its hands around its mouth, and hollers it at passing traffic. Welcome to the best remodeled brick home in Polk County sitting on a full 28 acres of upslope privacy. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath house got the full 2019 glow-up: new windows, added insulation, fresh paint, laminate floors, and a kitchen that no longer looks like it lost a fight with the 1980s. The open living-dining-kitchen layout means the cook is no longer banished to solitary confinement while everyone else pretends the dishwasher is just “background music.” Outside you’ve got scenery, elbow room, and enough land that borrowing sugar from the neighbors is a multi-day expedition. The layout is already eyeing future cabin sites like a real-estate matchmaker, and that Highway 71 & CR-168 frontage hands you easy access, plus commercial potential (buyer to verify the fun stuff with the powers that be). Toss in a huge shop, a rear porch...
