It has been nicknamed "Sky
Island." At an elevation of nearly
2200 ft, it is one of the highest
mountaintops in Newton County,
Arkansas. Three hundred- and
sixty-degree views will take your
breath away.
Sky Island is 360 acres of the
natural beauty Newton County
Arkansas has to offer--natural
beauty that will be preserved
for the future. Newton County
includes protected areas such as
the Buffalo National River, Ozark
National Forest, and Upper Buffalo
Wilderness area.
The Buffalo River is designated
as a National Wild River and
a National Scenic River and
runs through Newton County.
Locals have enjoyed the river
for centuries. Many families
have made their trips to the
region a generational adventure.
Recreational tourism in the area
has become increasingly popular
with the development of mountain
bike trails, fantastic lodging
experiences, and great tourist
friendly destinations.
Hundreds of miles of hiking
trails lay within the National Forest
boundaries and provide incredible
year-round hiking with picturesque
views.
Highway 7 in Newton County
has been named one of the most
scenic drives in the country. There
are viewing areas of what is known
as the Arkansas Grand Canyon
that is a sight you will never forget.
It is no secret that the famous
historical theme park known as
Dogpatch, in Newton County,
has recently been sold and is
being transformed into another
incredible destination. Everyone is
excited to see the results.
Recently, we have seen an
increase in the number of people
looking for land in Newton
County--clients that want to find a
place to enjoy the natural beauty,
enjoy a more rural lifestyle, retire
with incredible views, but most
of all know that the beauty of the
county will not be destroyed by
progress.
Sky Island provides an
opportunity for someone with a
vision to build their dream home
overlooking this natural beauty. A
mountain-top dream home with
million dollar views out every
window in the house.
A multi-home development
could be the developer's vision,
each home with an incredible view
from the mountain top. Plenty
of room to develop a private air
