About the property

Vintage 1959 Cabin on 0.44 Acre with A‑Frame Bonus

Walk up the covered front porch and immediately feel the character that defines this 1959 cabin: a vaulted living area with wood-frame construction and a metal roof, set on a level 0.44-acre lot along North Double Springs Road. The interior's modest footprint (918 sq ft) is accentuated by the vaulted ceiling in the main living space, creating an airy sense of openness uncommon in homes this size. Newer appliances in the compact kitchen and a straightforward floor plan make this property easy to live in as-is, while leaving room for cosmetic updates to add value.

Outside, the property’s acreage is the standout. Mature shade trees and a generous yard give children's play, gardening, or a future addition plenty of room. An 18x20 metal shed currently serves as a single detached carport and covered storage, and a 240-sqft A-frame bonus structure sits on the lot—ideal for a workshop, studio, guest suite conversion, or supplementary rental unit subject to approvals. The lot's level topography and frontage on North Double Springs Road provide uncomplicated access and clear development potential under the existing Residential-Agricultural (R-A) zoning.

Systems are simple and practical: public water and electric are available, gas is present, and the home uses ductless heating and cooling. A septic system is in place; buyers should confirm condition during inspection. The home presents an affordable entry point for owner-occupants, university-affiliated buyers, or investors targeting rental demand from the nearby University of Arkansas (approximately 4.5 miles).

From an investment perspective, recent local sales and the property's own recent transaction history support steady value retention—most comparable sales in the immediate area cluster between $115K and $130K, with a midpoint valuation near $122,500. Farmington School District schools carry strong ratings, and recreation such as Lake Wedington is within regional reach, further broadening appeal. Bring a vision for modest upgrades and you'll find a property with practical bones, flexible outbuildings, and a rare half-acre footprint so close to Fayetteville.

Editorial neighborhood context

Wedington Woods sits on Fayetteville’s western edge with a semi-rural character that still places city amenities within reach. The property falls inside the Farmington School District, which is known locally for strong school ratings. Residents enjoy a quieter pace, larger lots, and easy access to regional recreation like Lake Wedington. Proximity to Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas keeps shopping, dining, and campus events a short drive away while preserving a country-road lifestyle.

Nearby access summary

Good regional recreation access: Lake Wedington Recreation Area is roughly 10 miles away for hiking, fishing and paddling; the University of Arkansas (4.5 miles) adds athletic and cultural amenities, and local country roads offer biking and walking routes.

Editorial market perspective

This portion of the Fayetteville market is stable and moderately active. Area metrics show about 3 months of inventory and an average days-on-market near 45 days, which points to a balanced market—neither hyper-competitive nor buyer-heavy. Median sale prices in the local trade area sit around $150,000; single-family homes similar to this 2BR/1BA cabin have recently sold in the $115K–$130K range, supporting the valuation midpoint of $122,500. One-year appreciation is modest (roughly 5%), with a stronger five-year gain near 20%, reflecting steady, long-term demand driven in part by proximity to Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas.

For smaller, affordable single-family properties—especially those appealing to students, faculty, or small families—turnover is consistent. Rental comps suggest gross rents near $1,200/month, producing healthy cashflow potential for investors willing to manage minor updates. Low inventory and solid school ratings enhance buyer interest; however, buyers should budget for possible infrastructure updates (septic, HVAC conversion) given the home's 1959 construction. Overall, this market favors sellers slightly for well-priced, value-add opportunities and rewards buyers who can move quickly on inspections and targeted renovations.
