Buying Land for Weekend Use

Before you reserve

• Door-to-door drive time, not just miles. Hot Springs is 4 hours from Dallas, 5 from St. Louis, 6 from Memphis.
• Gate hours, if the parcel sits inside a gated community.
• County property-tax rate. Garland County runs among the lowest in Arkansas.
• Satellite view of the parcel. Look at neighbor density and how recent the imagery is.

What we have already verified

• Clean title and current tax status.
• Recorded plat with parcel boundaries.
• Utility availability to the lot line, where applicable.
• Road access. Every lot we sell has county-maintained road frontage.

Things to check yourself

• Whether the POA allows RVs, campers, or tents on undeveloped lots. Rules vary by section.
• Whether you want timbered, cleared, or lakefront. We tag each lot.
• How elevation and slope shape your camping spot.
• Insurance coverage for any structure you eventually park.

After you reserve

• Drive out and walk the parcel within 30 days. Most buyers do.
• Photograph every corner. Flag any disagreement with the plat immediately.
• Set payments to auto-draft so you never miss one.
• Tell your insurance agent you own land. Some bundle it.
