Directions:

The drive from Fayetteville to Mountainburg is one of the most scenic in Arkansas. While you can take the "fast" way via I-49, the route to this specific property is much more enjoyable if you embrace the curves of the historic highway.

Here are the directions for the roughly 35-minute drive:

️ The Route

1. Start in Fayetteville: Head south on I-49 S toward Fort Smith.

2. Take Exit 53 (West Fork): After about 10 miles, exit the interstate at West Fork.

3. Merge onto Hwy 71: Turn left (south) onto US-71 S / N Archibald Helm Rd.

4. Enjoy the Scenic Drive: Stay on US-71 S for approximately 18 miles. You will wind through the Boston Mountains, passing through the town of Winslow.

5. Arrive at the Property: As you descend toward Mountainburg, look for the property on the East (left-hand) side of the highway.

   • Pro Tip: If you reach the turn-off for Lake Fort Smith State Park, you’ve gone about 4 miles too far south!

️ Traveler's Note

Since this property is a favorite for motorcyclists, keep an eye out for "The Big Dipper" and other famous curves along this stretch. The property sits right in the heart of the most popular section of the Boston Mountains Scenic Loop.

Safe travels—the valley views are worth the drive!
