A magical place filled with whimsical elements, 20612 S. Hwy 71 in Winslow, AR, captures the imagination and lifts the spirit. Perched high above the
street on a bluff, this property has a 180 degree view of the Boston Mountains Scenic Loop and valleys below and, there's plenty of outdoor living
spaces to enjoy the spectacular surroundings and wildlife. This 2-acre property is professionally landscaped with +/- 40, fifty-year old trees, includes
more than 4,000 square feet, a dry sauna, an aviary, a bunkhouse, a hen house, a horse stable with electricity, a pavilion with a fountain
and several outbuildings.

Originally built in 1925, this enchanting mountain villa has ornamental iron work, stone walls 18" thick X 20' high, sidewalks, archways, 2 whirlpool tubs,
a spiral wrought-iron staircase, 5 bedrooms and 5 baths, large porches, a library, an office with a built-in safe, a sitting room, gardens and much more. Because the
property is so unique, and the second story can be accessed from the west and east decks, it would make a wonderful bed and breakfast or retreat.

The main living area has soaring beamed ceilings, a massive floor to ceiling "volcanic" stone fireplace with an over-sized insert, two hand-made wooden
doors, an arched recessed curio nook, and a bay window that fills the room with natural light. Open to the living room, the dining room has a natural
stone wall and a second bay window that is topped by a fan light which ties the arches together. A guest bath off the living room has a handicap-
accessible shower and beautiful tile walls.

Connecting the great room to the breakfast room, a galley kitchen has a stainless steel refrigerator, a stove and a dishwasher that will convey with
the home. The charming breakfast room features built-in bench with storage, a spacious pantry, and large window that overlooks backyard. Breakfast
room also has a creative exit to covered deck for morning coffee and food "al fresco." Adjacent to the deck, the tree room is an interesting space
because a tree grows through it. Stone stairs lead to the basement where there is a laundry room, a full bath with an over-sized whirlpool tub and
exercise area.

Also located on the first floor level, a parterre oversized master suite boasts cedar-lined closet, ceramic tile floors, a firebox with a stone chimney, stone shelves
and stone walls. The suite opens to the outside patio where there is a handmade table with a mosaic top and a great view of the property. Three
additional bedrooms are located on the second level of the home along with second whirlpool tub and a library. Walk out onto the spacious balcony
from either the bedroom or the library.

Because I-540 has pulled traffic away from Hwy 71, the street is now quiet. You have to see this property for yourself to understand how unique and
special it is. The seller suggests a minimum of two visits to experience the pleasure of country life, i.e., visit at dawn, noon, dusk and after nightfall.
Buyer may accept the extra commuting distance for shopping or employment to enjoy country life a 100+ days per year versus suburban life in
"cages for all ages" track home.

Firm price of $345000, however save $20K commissions, fees, and other closing costs. Owner financing with 1/3 down at 5% p.a. or 1% less than
available bank or mortgage co. rates (i.e., DITECH), or a negotiable one year lease with option to buy ($1,800/per month), +/- 10-year monthly mortgage rate.
Seller offers one-year home warranty. Write to Prof. ECM, PO Box 887, Huntsville, AR 72742. (Se habla espanol).
