Rural living on the cusp of Arkansas
On the far western edge of Arkansas, homebuyers can find a quiet piece of land that feels removed from civilization while just a 30-mile drive from one of the state's largest cities. The Summers community is mostly quiet, with stretches of country roads and gently rolling hills. The area is ideal for residents who commute to one of the larger cities but also want to spend their time in the countryside. "Summers is mostly farmland with a lot of cattle, but you'll also see some poultry farms because the land is so flat," says Stacey McSpadden, the owner of SoHo NWA brokered by eXp Realty. Tyson Foods is a major employer in the area, and McSpadden says many farms have contracts with the company. The community offers abundant outdoor activities with rivers, lakes, National Forest land and popular hiking trails nearby.
Lincoln Lake Park offers a variety of hiking and biking trails.
Summers residents enjoy the peaceful country living, about 30 minutes from Fayetteville.

Ranch-style homes and farmhouses
Many streets are country roads that stretch through green pastures with distant mountainside views. Due to the area's rural nature, homes are often spread out from one another, and residents might not have neighbors nearby. "These are homes that have been passed down from generation to generation. It's a real small-town feel," McSpadden says. Homes are mostly ranch-style on large lots, some of which include working farms. Farmhouses are also common, with spacious front porches and features like exterior wooden beams. There are manufactured homes available, in addition to plots of land for building a private countryside haven from the ground up. House prices in Summers depend on the amount of land coming with the home. A home on less than 10 acres may cost between $275,000 to $500,000. However, established farmland on 40 or more acres can range from $900,000 to over $2 million. Arkansas is susceptible to tornadoes, which have recently affected nearby communities. Washington County's Hazard Mitigation Plan works with local and state governments to aid in disaster preparation and responses.
Ranch homes are common in and around the Summers neighborhood.
Many homes in Summers still sit on less than 10 acres, for those not needing a farm.

Exploring Northwest Arkansas' natural beauty
The natural beauty of the landscape offers diverse recreational opportunities. "Oh my gosh, there's so much to do. There's hiking and biking,” says Tony Chrisco, the principal broker at Whitetail Properties Real Estate, who works in the area. “There are also quite a few rivers, so there's floating and fishing. Anybody who loves the outdoors would love this area." Lincoln Lake, spanning 90 acres, has several trails for mountain biking and hiking as well as rock climbing. Residents can launch a boat and spend the day on the water kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Siloam Springs Kayak Park is a popular spot to hang out on a warm day. Located on the Illinois River, the waters are designated Class I and II rapids. There is also a family swimming area on the banks of the river. Residents can head to Lake Wedington Recreational Area in the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest for more activity, like camping, boating and fishing.
Cincinnati Creek meanders through the Summers neighborhood.
Siloam Springs Kayak Park, located south of Siloam Springs, offers whitewater adventure.
