This remarkable property encompasses an entire block in downtown Bentonville, bounded by W Central Avenue, F Street, and NW 2nd Street. The 0.31-acre corner lot features two distinct residences: a 3,018 SF main home with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, original refinished hardwood floors, and an open floor plan with historical architectural details; plus a 688 SF furnished 1-bedroom bungalow on NW 2nd Street with its own address, separate utility metering, and proven rental income history. Both residences have been recently remodeled and updated. The main house includes a large bonus/entertainment room, walk-in pantry, covered patio, and generous garden courtyard. The property presents exciting redevelopment opportunities given its rare downtown footprint.

Contact Mason Capital Group to schedule your private showing of both residences and the full property. We can walk you through the main house, the income-producing bungalow, the courtyard garden, and the complete block footprint. Our team can also discuss development potential, comparable sales, and the downtown Bentonville market in detail.

This property represents exceptional value in downtown Bentonville. Comparable downtown luxury homes have sold from $1.5M to $2.5M, and premium land prices downtown range from $3M to $5M per acre. At $1,580,000 for 0.31 acres spanning an entire block with two income-producing residences, this property is priced well below the per-acre cost of nearby vacant land parcels. The Blue Crane and Riverside mixed-use project just blocks away is adding residential, retail, and dining, reinforcing downtown's growth trajectory. Bentonville is one of America's fastest-growing markets, and entire-block opportunities in the downtown core are exceptionally rare.

Property details

Location advantage

This property sits on W Central Avenue, the historic heart of Bentonville featuring the area's most prominent homes. The entire block spans from W Central Avenue to NW 2nd Street with F Street frontage. Walking distance to Bentonville Square, Walmart's new corporate campus, Crystal Bridges Museum, The Momentary, Compton Gardens, bike trails, and upscale dining and shopping.

Property details

The main house is a white brick residence with a covered front porch and architectural shingles, featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, original refinished wood flooring, open floor plan, formal dining area connecting to a spacious second living area, large bonus/entertainment room, and walk-in pantry. The NW 2nd Street bungalow offers 1 bedroom, 1 bath, a compact car garage, and comes fully furnished with great rental history. A central courtyard and garden connect both residences.

Market position

Downtown Bentonville luxury homes have sold from $1.5M to $2.5M in recent transactions. Premium downtown land is trading at $3M to $5M per acre on parcels far smaller than this one. At $1,580,000 for 0.31 acres spanning an entire block with two residences, this property offers a rare value proposition in a market where downtown inventory is exceptionally scarce.

Investment merit

The property works as a residential investment with proven rental income from the bungalow, or as a redevelopment play for luxury townhomes, mixed-use projects, or upscale single-family homes. Both units are metered separately for all utilities. The entire-block footprint is a development advantage that simply cannot be replicated in downtown Bentonville. Recent downtown townhomes are closing in the $1.3M to $1.9M range.

Neighborhood character

W Central Avenue is part of the Bentonville West Central Avenue District, one of two National Register historic districts in the city. This corridor features Bentonville's most prominent historic residences. The neighborhood blends historic charm with the energy of a rapidly evolving downtown where new mixed-use development and cultural institutions are reshaping the landscape.

Schools and amenities

Bentonville School District serves the area with top-rated schools. Compton Gardens is nearby, along with the full range of downtown amenities including restaurants, retail, and cultural venues. The NWA trail system and bike infrastructure are accessible from the property, connecting to Crystal Bridges and Coler Preserve.

Future outlook

Downtown Bentonville is experiencing a historic transformation. The Blue Crane and Riverside mixed-use project is adding residential, retail, and dining just blocks away. The city's Future Land Use Plan focuses on walkable neighborhoods and vibrant public spaces, driving demand for upscale infill projects. Walmart's expanding corporate campus continues to draw executives and professionals seeking downtown living. Opportunities of this scale in the core are disappearing fast.

Next steps

Contact Mason Capital Group to schedule a private showing of both residences and discuss your vision for the property. Whether you plan to live in the main house and rent the bungalow, or explore the redevelopment potential of this entire-block footprint, our team can walk you through every option.
