Here’s how to sell recreational and hunting land in Arkansas quickly, what buyers look for, and how to maximize your land’s value.
Introduction
Arkansas is rich with forests, rivers, and wildlife, making recreational and hunting land highly desirable. But if you own land you’re not using — or if the upkeep and taxes have become a burden — selling it for cash may be the smartest choice.
Here’s how to sell recreational and hunting land in Arkansas quickly, what buyers look for, and how to maximize your land’s value.
Why Buyers Want Recreational Land
- Hunting: Deer, turkey, duck, and small game are plentiful in Arkansas.
- Fishing & Water Access: Creeks, rivers, or ponds make properties more attractive.
- Cabins & Retreats: Many buyers want private escapes from city life.
- Timber Value: Mature hardwoods or pine can increase land value.
Factors That Affect Value
- Access: Legal road access boosts demand; landlocked properties are harder to sell.
- Water: Lakes, ponds, or streams make land more desirable.
- Timber: Standing timber can significantly increase price per acre.
- Acreage Size: Larger tracts often appeal to hunters and investors.
- Proximity: Land near Little Rock, Hot Springs, or NW Arkansas sells faster than very remote parcels.
Average Price per Acre
- Hunting land in Arkansas ranges from $1,000–$3,500 per acre depending on access and features.
- Smaller recreational parcels (5–20 acres) often sell faster to individuals.
- Larger tracts are usually purchased by hunting clubs or investors.
Steps to Sell Recreational Land
- Gather Information – Parcel ID, deed, taxes owed.
- Check Title – Make sure ownership is clear, or work with a buyer who handles title issues.
- Market Effectively – Hunters, investors, and outdoor enthusiasts are your target audience.
- Consider a Cash Buyer – Companies like Shamrock Lands buy land as-is, even with back taxes or title issues.
Example
A landowner in White County had 40 acres of wooded hunting land but lived out of state. After years of paying taxes without using it, they sold directly to Shamrock Lands. We closed in 30 days, covered all costs, and the owner finally walked away with cash.
Conclusion
Recreational and hunting land in Arkansas has value, but selling it on the open market can take months or years. If you want to sell quickly, a cash buyer is often the fastest and simplest option.
