Over the past couple of weeks, I received two emails from couples approaching retirement. Both couples currently own acreage. They raise cattle. They garden. They enjoy space, quiet, and independence. One couple is devoted golfers. The other wants to avoid dense development and infrastructure projects. Both asked the same question in different ways: Can we have land and still enjoy Hot Springs Village? The short answer is yes, but not inside the Village.

Let’s take a drive from Hot Springs Village to Benton (toward Little Rock on Hwy 5) and enjoy the remnants of the winter storm. At the same time, we discuss how a couple might retire to Arkansas, where they can enjoy the amenities of Hot Springs Village and still raise their own cattle, chickens, and have a large garden.

The 2026 winter storm (hopefully, it’s the first and last) arrived last Saturday in full force. Forecasters claimed we might get up to 24″ of snow. Thankfully, they were wrong. We got closer to 8″, but some places inside the Village likely got more.

I continue to encourage folks to visit Hot Springs Village during the winter. If you love it now, you’re sure to love it at other times of the year.

Help us come up with a good name for this part of our show. It began tongue-in-cheek: “Stump Your Realtor.” We were never trying to stump Rick – just wanted our questions answered. You must know that Rick never knows the questions in advance. That’s not to trip him up, but rather to demonstrate how much of a pro he is.

Give us your suggestions for a great name for this segment. You know how to reach us. And I may give a gift to the person who gives us something we select.
