896 MT Riante Rd, Hot Springs, AR 71913

Perched atop Mt. Riante with panoramic views of Lake Hamilton and the Ouachita Mountains, this 7,300 square foot mountaintop estate offers seven bedrooms, five and a half baths, and three full levels, each opening to its own private deck. The arrival sets the tone with a soaring timber-frame entry portico, hand-laid stone chimney, and an arched wood door opening into a vaulted foyer wrapped in floor-to-ceiling native stone. The entry level flows openly from a chef's kitchen with bold teal cabinetry, marble countertops, stainless appliances, and designer lighting into a living room anchored by a massive stone fireplace, then into a dining room that seats twelve beneath floor-to-ceiling windows framing the view, and two bedrooms on this level each enjoy their own full bath, offering true single-level living for guests or family. Upstairs, a cozy sitting area with its own fireplace leads to the primary suite, where panoramic windows and French doors open onto a covered deck and the spa bath offers a jetted soaking tub overlooking Lake Hamilton, a dual granite vanity, and a marble walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms, each with its own tasteful character, share an oversized bath and laundry. The lower level is made for gathering, with a bunk room, a game room with pool table, and an expansive great room that walks out to a patio and covered hot tub. Fully renovated down to the systems in 2020-2021, the home is as practical as it is beautiful: mini-split HVAC keeps electricity to an average of $339 per month, well water and septic eliminate city utility bills. Offered fully furnished and priced below the March 2026 appraisal, the property currently operates as a successful short-term rental with revenue data available upon request for qualified buyers. Located in a gated community with a $1,200 annual HOA covering road, gate, and dumpster, in the Lakeside School District, and just minutes from downtown Hot Springs and the National Park.
