A private, gated 42-acre estate where the city melts away, two beautiful vacation homes, your own stretch of the Ouachita River, slate bluff lookouts and quiet, groomed forest trails.
Our family homesteaded this land sixty years ago, and the towering pines, cedars and oaks that shade the trails have stood for many years as part of the Ouachita National Forest. In spring, redbuds and dogwoods bloom across the property. Today, Riverglen is a private retreat carved out of that forest, a gated estate where you can sip your morning coffee as fog rolls through the valley and the squirrels forage at your feet.
Wander a serene grassy trail through deep forest, watch the sunset paint the river gold from a slate bluff, dig for clear quartz crystals at the nearby mines, or float the Ouachita on a lazy afternoon. Two thoughtfully appointed homes await. Choose the one that fits your getaway.
Both homes share the river, the bluffs and the forest trails, so the only question is how you like to wake up.
