I love living in Arkansas. Especially here, in the Ouachita National Forest near the Ouachita River and Lake Ouachita.

My family has deep roots in Arkansas. I am a lifelong Montgomery County, Arkansas resident. I’ve spent countless hours exploring the Ouachitas and can personally attest to the endless beauty and adventure available here for all those who seek it.

Sharing my love of the “Natural State” is rewarding work. Getting out and seeing this beautiful country and helping folks find their next home is a genuine pleasure. I enjoy being among the first to welcome home new neighbors and friends.

In my 17 years working in real estate, I’ve learned a lot. I look forward to sharing my experience and expertise with my clients, both new and old.

Montgomery County, Arkansas is a great place for a vacation home, summer retreat, and to call “HOME”. Whether you’re looking for a summer getaway, starting a family, relocating to maximize your retirement income, upsizing, or downsizing, I can help you find the property you’re looking for.

Buying or Selling? If you’re thinking of buying a home in or near Mount Ida, Arkansas, or looking for a new owner for your special spot in the country, call me!

At Ouachita Real Estate, I’m not just selling property… I’m actively building my community and welcoming home new neighbors and friends. Won’t you be my neighbor?

I fell in love with Lake Ouachita on my first visit to Arkansas. Three years later, after an extensive property search, I purchased a home less than a mile from the lake with the help of my real estate agent, Edwenna Rowland.

Living here, enjoying a quiet life in the country near the lake, surrounded by woods, wildlife, and quartz, has deepened my appreciation of the Ouachitas.

The Mount Ida area offers countless opportunities for community engagement. Whether you’re interested in art, theater, music, or history, or prefer book clubs, senior programs, ministry, or local events, there’s a place for everyone who wants to connect.

My professional background includes information technology, small-business marketing, and small businesses ownership, including a vintage kitchenware shop. Over the past 15 years, I’ve also worked with and for Edwenna on community initiatives and supported her real estate business.

Working at Ouachita Real Estate has given me a valuable behind-the-scenes understanding of how the real estate industry works. I’ve provided technical and marketing support to the team and managed multiple vacation rentals.

What I enjoy most is helping people, especially those who are drawn to the natural beauty of the Ouachitas and want to call this place home.

Mary Gail Cook

Secretary, Receptionist

“I was born in Mount Ida, when there was a hospital located at the Annex.(Guess I just revealed my age.) My husband and I raised our children outside Oden on our family cattle farm, which I continue to operate. In the spring of 2023, Edwenna asked me to fill in at the office; it was to be a temporary position. Needless to say, I am still here. I enjoy the company of our community members and clients who stop by for information or conversation. Returning to the office brought new personal challenges, such as catching up with current technology. At the end of the day, I find it rewarding to work with friends and serve my community.”
