Billy Creek Recreational Cabin – National Forest Area

Location:  This “One of a Kind” property is nestled in the heart of the Ouachita National Forest in a beautiful valley setting between Lenox Ridge and the Winding Stair Mountain Range to the North and the majestic Kiamichi Mountain Range to the South.  This property is less than 1 mile from the 1.8 million acre Ouachita National Forest and the Billy Creek Recreational Area, which provides direct access to hunting opportunities for whitetail deer, eastern wild turkey, black bear, wild hog and other small game as well as direct access to an impressive network of ATV, hiking and horseback riding trails that are operated and maintained by the US Forest Service.  The property is located east of the small community or Muse, OK.  Nearby towns include Broken Bow, Hochatown, Talihina and Poteau, which is the county seat.  Broken Bow Lake, which offers some of the best fishing in Oklahoma, is only a short 30 minute drive away to the South.  Sardis Lake, Cedar Lake and Wister Lake are only minutes away as well.  The Talimena Scenic Drive is five miles North of the Cabin.   The property is a 1.5 hour drive from Fort Smith, Arkansas and about 3.5 hours from Dallas, Texas. 

Property Address:  26627 Hidden Pines Lane; Muse, Oklahoma 74949.

Services to Property:  Electricity, rural water and aerobic septic system. 

Access:  This property has legal and all-weather access by means of a paved county-maintained road (Billy Creek Road).  There is a private drive (Hidden Pines Lane) extending off Billy Creek Road with gated entry that provides access to the cabin.

Cabin:  The cabin is new construction and includes approximately 750 square feet of heated and cooled living space with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, large kitchen/living room and wrap around covered porch. The exterior of the cabin was designed with a virtually maintenance free exterior with vinyl board and batten siding, rock wainscoting, composite decking on all porches, metal roofing and vinyl siding in the soffit areas.  Additionally, the cabin was designed to be very energy efficient to minimize heating and cooling costs with spray foam insulation, vinyl double pain windows with Low-E glass and Argon gas.  The level of craftsmanship, attention to detail and quality trim work throughout is very impressive.  NOTE:  This cabin comes completely furnished with all furniture and appliances shown in the pictures. 

Land:  The cabin sits on 1.5 acre (m/l) of level land that is mostly open with a scattering of mature hardwood timber that is native to south-eastern Oklahoma.  The land is part of the Hidden Pines Development with some minimal deed restrictions that are designed to protect property values inside the development.

Income Producing Potential:  This cabin is conveniently located adjacent to the Billy Creek Recreational Area and an impressive network of ATV, hiking and horseback riding trails throughout the 1.5 million acre Ouachita National Forest.  The cabin provides direct access to these riding trail and would make a great short term rental to provide the new owners with a passive income stream when not in use by the owners.  All furniture shown in the pictures is included in the list price.

Garage:  There is a garage that can be used for ATV and small tool storage.  The garage has concrete flooring, electrical wiring, insulation and lighting. 

Agent’s Comments:  This is a beautiful custom built cabin with a high level of craftsmanship, attention to detail and quality trim work throughout.  The location provides an ideal setting for a relaxing and peaceful weekend getaway from city life or even a full time residence.  No traffic, no hurrying, just simple life away from the hectic city.  This is a very unique property that provides access to both the Billy Creek Recreational Area and the 1.8 million acre Ouachita National Forest.  This cabin offers “Off the Porch” access to the 4-wheeler, side by side, hiking and horseback riding trails in the National Forest.  In my opinion, this property can be classified as true “Investment Grade Recreational Property”.  This cabin has good income producing potential with the potential for the new owner to cover monthly payments while still booking times to enjoy the property for themselves.
