Magnet Cove, AR

Set in a scenic valley in the Ouachita foothills, Magnet Cove is a quiet rural community about twelve miles southeast of Hot Springs. The area gets its name from the mineral-rich soil and magnetic rock deposits that have fascinated geologists and rock collectors for generations. Surrounded by rolling, wooded ridges, it offers a peaceful setting where residents enjoy larger properties, quiet roads, and plenty of green space.
