Our Boomer Story

OUR BOOMER STORY

Before Bob and I decided to make the escape from our life long Chicago home, we pictured Mountain Home, Arkansas as remote, endless dirt roads, no shopping and far from all the creature comforts we had grown to want in the big city. We were wrong. Mountain Home, Arkansas, had many things we wanted in our new home town.

 

Some of these include: Baxter Regional Hospital in the center of town, ASU Mountain Home campus, the New Vada Sheid Auditorium, New Reynolds Library, 5 Star golf course Big Creek, the largest Super Wal-Mart in the state of Arkansas, Lowes and Home Depot, banks, churches, schools, fast food places galore, fine dining, live theater, two multiple screen movie houses - both have 1st run selections. 

 

BOOMERS RETIRE TO MOUNTAIN HOME ARKANSAS!

I will never forget the day we moved into our new mountain home. It had grown dark by the time we were done getting all the furniture in the house. As we sat down on the back porch to rest, we looked up and saw that the night sky and honestly it was breathtaking with no "city lights" to lessen their wonder.

 

We had heard about the great real estate values in Mountain Home, Arkansas from other empty nesters & boomers like ourselves who had already moved to the Twin Lakes area. One of the main factors for our decision to leave the big city was the high property taxes, and what we found here was amazingly low in comparison. We fell in love with Baxter County and all of North Central Arkansas. We were so happy with what we found that we decided to retire to Arkansas!

A question we hear a lot from customers and clients.....”What is the Corp Line” and “Why can't we build on the shore of the Norfork and Bull Shoals Lake?”


Answer: Until the 1940’s our Ozarks area had many very beautiful rivers such as the White and Buffalo. In the towns of Bull Shoals and Norfork, the U.S. Army Corp built two hydro power dams. It took several years to fill up and form Bull Shoals and Norfork Lake. These lakes are quite deep, 300 feet in many places, and in times of heavy rains, they fill up further. The Corp Frontage is an area designated as the “high water” mark or the 100 year flood line.

 

By keeping that area free of homes and businesses, we reduce monumental losses and pollution by flooding. Not all lakes have this protection….and people often complain that they cannot build on the water’s edge like other areas. Flooding can bring loss of life, property, top soil, raw sewage going into the lake and river water, garbage, pollution and more.  We hope this helps you understand the corp's line is protection for home owners and keeping our beautiful lakes and rivers clear and clean for all to enjoy for generations to come.

 

Marion and Baxter County Arkansas are located in the Ozark mountains of North Central Arkansas, with beautiful rolling hills, stately oaks, beautiful bluff walls 300 feet tall, graced with tall pines, wild flowers and fields of pasture grasses.
