Listing of the Day
Location: Little Rock, Arkansas
Price: $5.9 million
The highest-priced residential listing in Little Rock, this custom-built fieldstone house, complete with a tower, offers a combination of city and country living.
In a private gated residential community, the estate is a 15-minute drive from the restaurants, shops and cultural attractions of West Little Rock.
“You think you’re in the country,” said Sharon Adkins, an owner and executive broker at Adkins & Associates Real Estate, who’s been marketing the home since June. “It’s set atop a mountain, so you get 360-degree views of the city.”
She noted that its combination of convenience and privacy—“it’s 100 acres; the surrounding estates are only 10 to 20 acres each”—make it distinguishable and desirable.
Although the house, which took two years to build, is large, it’s “comfortable and has a livable, homey feeling. It’s a family home. The sellers raised their children there. They are downsizing and retiring,” Adkins added.
The house, made of 8-inch Arkansas fieldstone, is modeled after an English estate.
