Located on the border of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, the Ozarks have become an increasingly popular destination for folks in the market for new primary and secondary residences. The hit Netflix series Ozark is one likely reason this region is seeing a resurgence in popularity. But it's also likely due to the burnout many of us feel from living in loud, busy cities.

The Ozarks offer a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. The region covers 47,000 square miles and is home to two expansive mountain ranges—the Boston Mountains and the St. Francois Mountains—offering a little piece of paradise for anyone who loves hiking.

But hiking is just one of many activities that outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy in the Ozarks. Thanks to a large number of lakes, rivers, and streams, you can spend any number of days fishing, swimming, or relaxing the day away on a boat. Don't have a boat? No problem. Boat rental businesses line many of the popular hot spots, like Lake of the Ozarks, so you can rent one for the day without making a long-term commitment.

Speaking of Lake of the Ozarks, the gorgeous lake is found in the largest state park in Missouri—aptly named Lake of the Ozarks State Park. In addition to boundless water activities, the park offers access to large mountainous landscapes and campsites that make it easy to appreciate the region's natural beauty in all of its glory.

Whether you're in the market for a traditional cabin home or a more contemporary dwelling in a cabin-like setting, you can find it among our favorite homes for sale in the Ozarks right now.
