TL;DR: Exminster Circle is a 0.28-acre level residential lot in Bella Vista, Arkansas, offered at $12,000 and described by the listing as buildable. A builder or homeowner should confirm every requirement with the City of Bella Vista and the Bella Vista Property Owners Association (POA) before committing. To talk through the build path, call Cameron Torabi at Mason Capital Group, 479-925-3333.
What can I build on the Exminster Circle lot?
The listing describes a buildable residential homesite, and what may actually be built is to be confirmed with the City of Bella Vista and the Bella Vista POA.
Per the listing, the lot is 0.28 acres in the Exminster Subdivision (Lot 5, Block 4), with level topography and major road frontage, and it is adjacent to a golf course. The listing says these features support straightforward buildability.
It does not state zoning, utilities, setbacks or flood status. Treat the building envelope, the permitted uses and any design rules as open until the city and the POA confirm them.
What is the path from purchase to a finished home?
The path runs from confirmation to design, permits and construction. Every requirement along it is to be confirmed with the City of Bella Vista and the Bella Vista POA.
- Confirm the site. Ask the city about zoning and setbacks, and ask the POA about its rules for owners. Both are to be confirmed with the City of Bella Vista and the Bella Vista POA.
- Confirm utilities. The listing says the POA operates the local water utility. Ask what service reaches this lot and what connection involves.
- Check flood status and the ground. The listing is silent on flood status, and a survey and a builder's site review will show how the level lot sits.
- Choose a builder and a plan. Share the confirmed constraints with the builder before the plan is drawn, so the design fits the lot.
- Apply for approvals. Ask the city and the POA which approvals and permits apply to your plan, and in what order.
- Build and close out. Ask what inspections and sign-offs are required before occupancy.
No timeline or cost is stated here, because the listing gives none.
How does Mason Capital Group's development service work with brokerage?
Mason Capital Group runs development and brokerage together, so the purchase and the build plan are discussed in one conversation.
Mason Capital Group serves Northwest Arkansas with brokerage, development, property management and investment advisory under one roof. For a lot, the development service helps a builder or owner frame the questions above and sequence them, while brokerage handles the contract and closing.
Cameron Torabi, Principal Broker, Mason Capital Group Real Estate Investment & Trust, leads both. He brings 30+ years of Northwest Arkansas real estate expertise to the table. His record is $2.4B+ in cumulative transaction activity (estimated combined personal, team and affiliated-brokerage activity over 30+ years; not independently verified; not indicative of current assets under management or future results). This post does not predict approvals, and it does not substitute for the city's answers.
What is around the lot that matters to a builder?
The surroundings matter mostly to the future occupant, and the listing names them.
The lot falls within the Bentonville School District, with Tiger Elementary, Bright Field Middle and Bentonville High School all within roughly two miles, per the listing. It is also close to Givens Park, Lake Brittany Dam and the Metfield Fitness Center. Bella Vista lies just north of Bentonville, home to Walmart's global headquarters, and the 2021 completion of the I-49 Bella Vista Bypass put it directly on the interstate corridor, per the listing.

The listing does not say. It notes that the Bella Vista Property Owners Association operates the local water utility, but service at this specific lot is to be confirmed with the utility providers, the City of Bella Vista and the Bella Vista POA.
Do I need POA approval to build in Bella Vista?

Is the lot level enough to build on?
