Townhomes for Sale in Piggott, AR

Ernest Hemingway once wrote that if he couldn’t be in Paris, Piggott, Arkansas in the fall is one of the places he’d rather be. The novelist lived here with his second wife, Pauline Pfieffer, between the late 1920s and 1940, writing part of “A Farewell to Arms” during his time there. This Clay County town has the same small-town, rural vibe today that attracted Hemingway back then. Maple, gum and oak trees bathe the narrow streets in shades of yellow, orange and red in October. And agriculture is still a top industry. “If you’re a row crop farmer, this is the place to be,” says Pamela Welch, who grew up nearby and is the lead broker/owner of Mossy Oak Properties Selling Arkansas. “It’s got small town roots, and those roots are agricultural. It’s not retail, it’s not commercial, it’s land,” she says. Cottages and ranch-style homes are most prevalent in Piggott, but Cape Cods, cottages, New Traditionals and farmhouses are also available. The median sale price of $137,000 is below the Paragould median of $180,000. Prices start under $100,000 for modest cottages on small lots and rise to about $750,000 for large New Traditionals with dozens of acres of land. Clay County, in the Dixie
