About this property

EXTRAORDINARY Home at Sky Hawk Ridge, a 185-acre Refuge next to Buffalo River

ALL NEW AND SUPER-COOL.

Sky Hawk Ridge is place of extraordinary natural beauty, a 185-acre private refuge at the gateway to Buffalo River National Park. This extraordinary, luxury vacation home is brand new and sparkling clean! It’s farmhouse style on the outside, but bright, open and modern inside. The home affords breathtaking views of the Buffalo River Valley and manicured grounds all around. The expansive, private-park setting is shared with just three other cabins.

THE LAND

When you stay at Sky Hawk Ridge, you won't stay inside for long. Roam the land and discover the wonders of the beautiful landscape. Enjoy misty morning walks through dew-covered fields. Watch radiant sunsets over Ozark Mountains. When you walk along Sky Hawk's long ridge, you see up the Buffalo River Valley to layered green hillsides and distant blue ridge lines. You see rolling meadows with sentinel oaks, cattle grazing in lush pastures, deep green woods, nature's beauty at every turn.

Explore miles of private trails that wind through dense forests and beside crystal streams. Wildlife is everywhere -- deer, turkey, fox, owls, songbirds, and all sorts of woodland creatures. Be dazzled by spring flowers, blue summer skies, rich fall colors, or foggy winter mornings. Sky Hawk Ridge is a nature-lover's paradise all year long.

LOCATION

Sky Hawk is just off US 65 on the north side of the Buffalo River. Restaurants, canoe rentals and river access points at Grinders Ferry, Gilbert and Tyler Bend are less than ten minutes away, but at Sky Hawk you’re secluded and surrounded by natural beauty, away from it all.

The entrance is on the Gilbert Road (Hwy. 333), just 0.4 mile east of US 65. The cabin is at the end of a long drive, about 3/4 mile from the entry. Sited at the end of a prominent ridge, surrounded by meadow and framed by a trio of stately, old oaks, the house affords sweeping views up the river valley.

The property has 3/4 mile of park frontage, and the Buffalo River Trail is just steps from the property corner. The park trail leads about a mile down to a long, wide gravel bar at Shine Eye Bluff -- the perfect spot to picnic, swim, fish or enjoy a lazy afternoon. (Shine Eye is also accessible by road, a five minute drive.)

ACCOMMODATIONS

Completed in September, 2023, this comfortable home has plenty of room for your family or two couples. Stunning architecture and tasteful furnishings make the house memorable in its own right. High dormer windows in the two-story living area and large windows in every room let you see forest and sky all around. The interior is sunny and uplifting, warm and inviting. Flanking the great room are two spacious bedroom suites. Separate bathrooms have large, walk-in showers.

703 Sky Hawk Drive is the newest of four vacation homes at Sky Hawk Ridge. (Refer to VRBO listing numbers 1005119 and 1468267 and 2844541 for more information.) Houses are spaced 500-1,200 feet apart, allowing plenty of separation for everyone's privacy. The land is for all to enjoy, so feel free to discover what lies around the bend.
