Markham Hill sits just minutes from downtown Fayetteville, tucked into one of the city’s wooded hills. From the neighborhood, it’s a short trip down the street to the University of Arkansas, local restaurants and cafés, and the cultural life of the downtown square. Trails from the hill connect into Northwest Arkansas’s broader trail network, making it easy to ride or walk beyond the neighborhood. It’s close to everything that defines Fayetteville, while still feeling like a retreat in the trees.

Markham Hill begins with the land. Instead of reshaping the hill to fit a typical development pattern, the neighborhood was designed to work with the existing forest, topography, and views. About half of the property will remain protected as forest, meadow, and trails, shaping how homes and streets are arranged. The result is a neighborhood that feels rooted in its surroundings, more like a natural extension of the hill than something placed on top of it.

Architecture at Markham Hill is shaped by the character of the hill itself. Homes are designed to sit comfortably within the wooded landscape, using natural materials like wood and stone and colors drawn from the surrounding forest. Shared architectural guidelines help ensure that homes feel cohesive while still allowing for individual expression. The goal is a neighborhood where each home belongs to the hill, and where the overall character grows stronger over time.

Markham Hill includes a mix of thoughtfully designed homes, including townhomes and single-family residences, with the potential for additional housing types in the future as the neighborhood grows. This mix allows people at different stages of life to live on the hill while keeping the overall scale and character of the neighborhood intact. Regardless of size or type, every home follows the same architectural principles and commitment to durable materials, careful siting, and designs that belong to the landscape.

Yes. Markham Hill includes a limited number of custom homesites for owners who want to design and build their own home. Custom homes are reviewed through the neighborhood’s architectural review process to ensure they reflect the design principles and character of the hill. The goal is to allow personal expression while maintaining a cohesive neighborhood.

Life at Markham Hill centers around the land itself. Nearly half of the hill will remain protected as forest, meadow, and trails, creating space for walking, biking, and quiet time outdoors. Shared spaces throughout the neighborhood, including porches, paths, and gathering places, are designed to make it easy for neighbors to cross paths. At the heart of it all is The Stonebreaker, a place for meals, celebrations, and the everyday hospitality that helps a neighborhood feel like home.

Yes. Markham Hill has a Property Owners Association that helps care for shared spaces and maintain the long-term character of the neighborhood. The POA oversees architectural review, supports stewardship of the land and trails, and helps ensure that the neighborhood continues to reflect the design principles it was built on. Its role is to protect the quality of the place for everyone who lives here.

Markham Hill is a natural fit for people who value the beauty of the Ozaks and enjoy knowing their neighbors.

Those who land here find their homes to be intentionally designed, built to last, and healthy to live in. Life on the hill appeals to those who value good neighbors, thoughtful homes, and a strong connection to the land that surrounds them.
