We are just less than 5 miles to one of the full-service marinas (lake Desoto), 10 miles to Lake Ouachita, a 20-minute drive from historic Hot Springs and 45 minutes from Little Rock, Arkansas’s capital city. Outdoor adventure,  many attractions and cosmopolitan amenities are all close by. Arkansas is in the Top 10 in the nation for the lowest real estate property taxes in the US. Combined with low taxes, low housing costs and 4 distinct seasons, Hot Springs Village is a great choice to live, work and/or play.  Lake Ouachita has lots of scuba dive sites with visibility that ranges from 35' or more under ideal conditions (usually early spring and late fall) to 3 - 5' under adverse conditions. Generally the Eastern half of the lake (nearer the dam) will be clearest.
