Pencil Bluff Land for Sale
THE LAND
163 Barbie Lane represents one of the most extraordinary riverfront land offerings in the Arkansas Ouachita Mountains. Spanning 81.87 acres, the property features thousands of feet of direct Ouachita River frontage — a genuinely rare asset in a region where river access commands a premium and simply cannot be manufactured. The Ouachita River borders the property with wooded bluffs, exposed rock outcroppings, and some of the most scenic water views in Montgomery County. Rolling green pastures stretch back from the river's edge, enclosed by cross-buck wood fencing, and rise gently toward the compound of structures at the heart of the property. The Ouachita Mountain range frames the entire northern horizon, providing a dramatic backdrop that changes with every season.
THE ARRIVAL
Pass through the stone-pillared automatic gate and follow the gravel drive as the full scale of the estate gradually reveals itself. The board-and-batten fencing that lines the drive, the lush pastures on either side, and the mountain views ahead combine to create an arrival experience that sets the tone for everything that follows.
THE MAIN RESIDENCE — 4,340 SQ FT | 6 BED | 3.5 BATH
Completely remodeled in 2024, the main residence is a masterclass in rural luxury. Step through the oval glass front door into a welcoming foyer with arched doorways and a staircase that signals immediately — this is not an ordinary farmhouse.
The great room is the heart of the home: cathedral vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, rich dark hardwood floors, and a breathtaking floor-to-ceiling native stone fireplace wall with a clerestory window above the peak flooding the room with natural light. The scale and craftsmanship of this space are rarely found outside of high-end custom builds.
Elegant arched passages connect the great room to a formal dining room with wainscoting and designer chandelier, a chef's kitchen outfitted with floor-to-ceiling black raised-panel cabinetry, granite and butcher block countertops, Tiffany-style pendant lighting, and stainless appliances, and a sunlit breakfast room and sunroom with abundant windows. Every room flows naturally into the next, creating a home that is as functional for everyday living as it is impressive for entertaining.
The primary suite is a genuine retreat — vaulted ceilings, wide plank hardwood floors, French doors opening to the upper deck, and a spa-inspired bath with a deep soaking tub and a separate walk-in shower finished in floor-to-ceiling wood-look tile with a river pebble mosaic floor, built-in bench, and rainfall fixtures. Additional bedrooms are generously sized with hardwood floors throughout.
Step outside to the full-width upper deck overlooking the pastures and, beyond them, the river. Below, a lower covered patio with timber posts is anchored by a stacked-stone outdoor fireplace — an outdoor living space that rivals many interior great rooms in ambiance and scale.
THE BASEMENT APARTMENT — 2 BED | 1 BATH
Included within the main residence's total square footage is a fully finished walk-out basement apartment — a completely self-contained living space with its own full kitchen featuring a granite island and pendant lighting, an open plan living area, hardwood floors throughout, two bedrooms, a beautifully finished bathroom, and its own exterior access. This space provides extraordinary flexibility: multi-generational living, a private caretaker suite, or an additional income-producing rental unit, all within the footprint of the main home.
THE FINISHED BARNDOMINIUM — 1,800 SQ FT | 2 BED | 2 BATH
The finished barndominium at 163 Barbie Lane is not a converted storage building — it is a fully appointed luxury residence that happens to be housed in a barndominium structure. High ceilings, dark hardwood floors throughout, a shiplap fireplace wall with mounted television, a full granite kitchen with stainless appliances, a formal dining area, and a stunning primary bedroom anchored by a deep navy accent wall and framed horse artwork give this space a boutique hotel quality that will not fail to impress.
The primary bath is a particular standout — a walk-in shower finished in floor-to-ceiling wood-look tile, a river pebble mosaic floor, a built-in bench, and a rainfall shower head. Guests, family, or short-term rental guests on the Ouachita River will not feel they are roughing it.
The income potential of this unit alone — as a premium Airbnb or VRBO on one of Arkansas's most beloved recreational rivers — is exceptional.
THE UNFINISHED BARNDOMINIUM — 2,800 SQ FT
The second barndominium on the property presents a rare opportunity: 2,800 square feet of blank canvas, already framed, insulated, electrically roughed-in, and ready for a buyer's vision. Arched doorway framing is already in place, hinting at the elegant finish that the completed barndominium demonstrates is possible. Whether transformed into additional living quarters, a luxury event venue, a workshop compound, or a fourth income-producing rental unit, this structure's potential is limited only by imagination.
THE EQUESTRIAN FACILITY — 5,184 SQ FT
Built entirely in 2024, the equestrian facility at 163 Barbie Lane was designed and constructed for the serious horse owner. The 5,184 square foot barn features four stalls, a cedar-lined tack room, a dedicated wash bay, generous hay storage, and a covered sand riding area — every amenity a discerning equestrian buyer would require, built to a standard that reflects the quality of the entire estate.
THE WELLHOUSE & WORKSHOP — 330 SQ FT
A dedicated wellhouse and workshop with a 1,550-gallon fresh water storage tank ensures fully self-sufficient operation of the estate year-round — a practical and significant asset for a property of this scale.
THE INVESTMENT CASE
163 Barbie Lane is exceptionally rare in that it offers not just a luxury primary residence, but three fully finished self-contained living spaces — each with its own full kitchen — on one of the most scenic stretches of Ouachita River frontage available anywhere in Arkansas. The income potential across the basement apartment, the finished barndominium, and the potential of the unfinished barndominium shell creates a compelling case for buyers evaluating both lifestyle and return on investment.
Properties combining this level of riverfront access, equestrian infrastructure, residential quality, and multi-unit income potential on 80+ acres in the Arkansas Ouachita Mountains do not come to market often. When they do, they do not last.
