Wilson Auctioneers Sells 385 Acres of Arkansas Farmland for Nearly $2.5 Million

Stuttgart property attracts bidders from seven states, sells for $6,490 per acre

STUTTGART, Ark. (October 22, 2026)  Wilson Auctioneers sold approximately 385 acres of farmland near Stuttgart, Arkansas, for $2,498,650 at auction on Wednesday, October 21, averaging $6,490 per acre.

The property, located at 2226 Stovesand-Prislovsky Road, was sold on behalf of Donath Trust. The transaction represents a significant agricultural real estate sale in the Stuttgart area, a region with a rich history of farming. 

The auction attracted bidders from seven states: Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Illinois, Mississippi, Florida and Kansas. Despite the multistate participation, the winning bidder was from Stuttgart, keeping ownership of the property in the local community.

“Arkansas farmland has an enduring appeal because it offers something investors have valued for generations: a tangible, productive asset with long-term utility,” said David Brewer, President of Wilson Auctioneers. “While agricultural markets and commodity prices will always fluctuate, quality farmland remains a finite resource. The interest we saw from bidders across seven states reflects the continued appeal of Arkansas agricultural land to both local buyers and investors from outside the region.”

The historic Maxwell-Hinman home at 902 N.W. Second St. near downtown Bentonville is headed for public auction at 2 p.m. June 9.

Wilson Auctioneers of Hot Springs will conduct the auction on-site. David Brewer, the company president, said the owner, S.K. Morrison Trust, is selling the property to settle the estate of the late Dr. Samuel K. Morrison, who died in March at 94.

 

The Morrison family has owned the property since 1963.

Brewer described the home as a unique property because of its Walton Boulevard frontage and proximity to the downtown square. It’s also zoned C-2 for general commercial development.

The L-shaped Italianate brick house is 3,352 square feet and sits on 0.97 acres. Brewer said a returning Civil War veteran supposedly built the home in 1881. The National Register of Historic Places listed the property in 1988.

Wilson Auctioneers will auction three additional Bentonville properties at the June 9 sale, all owned by the Morrison Trust. The others are a 0.98-acre commercial tract at 1200 N.W. Third St. (adjacent to the Maxwell-Hinman House), a 1,822-square-foot residential property at 208 S.W. E St. and a 5.6-acre parcel (C-2 zoning) at 2200 N. Walton Blvd.

“Wilson Auctioneers is excited to have the opportunity to work for the Morrison family and offer four unique properties in Bentonville,” Brewer said. “The Maxwell-Hinman home has a tremendous amount of potential as a residence, or possibly a real estate or law office. With the proximity to the new Walmart headquarters, it could also be redeveloped into a commercial application.”

Brewer said interested buyers could also submit offers before June 9, which is typical in the current real estate market, so the properties may sell before auction.

Per TB&P, The city of Centerton agreed at auction Thursday (Feb. 28) to purchase a 20-acre lot on Keller Road in Centerton for $598,840. The purchase price equals $0.34 per square foot.

Thursday’s absolute real estate auction was conducted by Hot Springs-based Wilson Auctioneers Inc., and included three parcels totaling about 38.3 acres at the northwest corner of Keller Road and Arkansas Highway 102. Norm Banwarth paid $919,160 for the remaining two tracts, which includes a 1,988-square-foot residence and frontage along Highway 102. The purchase price of that property equals $0.55 per square foot.

Centerton Mayor Bill Edwards said the fast-growing city will develop the 20-acre site but a specific use hasn’t been determined. He mentioned the possibility of additional sports fields. The city built the 17-acre Kinyon Sports Complex off Gamble Road near Centerton Gamble Elementary School in the past two years. It has four fields for baseball or softball and a multipurpose field for football or soccer.

“For a city with 18,000 people, that ain’t many ballfields,” he said. “We’re growing like crazy and we thought this would be a good investment.”

The 38-acre site was once a turkey farm and homestead owned by Laurence Keller. The owner at the time of the auction was Keller’s daughter, Connie Cloe, president of Jack White Hatcheries Inc. The land has been family owned since 1964 and is currently zoned for agriculture use.

Chuck Dicus, a Wilson Auctioneers agent, said he showed the property to several prospective bidders from Arkansas and surrounding states in the weeks leading up to the auction.

“As soon as the [auction] signs went up, the phone started ringing, and we had some offers,” he said. “But the seller trusted the auction method and the outcome far exceeded her expectations.”

Centerton Land Auction Totals $1.151 Million

Per TB&P, Groundbreaking for a new neighborhood in southwest Rogers was held June 14.

The $4.2 million project is called Savannah Estates, located on Wallis Road and situated between the Liberty Bell South subdivision and Pinnacle Memorial Gardens.

The land owners are John George of Springdale and Nathan Fairchild of Rogers. Their JONA Development LLC acquired the land (20.75 acres) earlier this year in two separate deals for a combined $905,000, which equals $1 per square foot. The previous landowners were the Blevins family (4.83 acres) and a limited liability company owned by Johnelle Hunt (15.92 acres).

“We’re excited to turn a grass field into something useful for 57 families,” George said. “Pinnacle Gardens is a beautiful neighbor, and so is Liberty Bell to the west. This will put a good inventory of homes into the city of Rogers and will be good for the economy for the city of Rogers.”

Savannah Estates will have 57 single-family lots, and Buffington Homes of Fayetteville is the exclusive homebuilder and developer. The company’s in-house real estate division, Neighborhood Realty, will be the exclusive listing agent.

Clay Carlton, a principal of Buffington Homes, said homes in Savannah Estates will range from approximately 2,900 square feet to 3,700 square feet, and in listing price from $115 to $135 per square foot. He compared the neighborhood to another Buffington Homes neighborhood in Rogers, Silo Falls.

“We’re just about done building in there, so [work-wise] this neighborhood will essentially be replacing that one,” he said. “It’s a growing area with a lot of amenities.”

Bates & Associates in Fayetteville is the civil engineer and Adams Excavating in Rogers is doing the excavation and site work. Lots could be ready for construction by the end of the year.

Grand Savings Bank in Bentonville is the primary financier the project, with a one-year construction loan of $2.15 million.
