Lata and Steve Lovell, owners of the Queen Anne Mansion, seek partners who are looking for a second home or a regular retreat. “A hundred years from now, we want this property to still be here,” says Lata Lovell.
The house originally was constructed in Carthage, Mo., in 1891 and moved piece by piece to Eureka Springs. The 21-room mansion, renovated at a cost of $10 million, features elaborate woodwork and period decor.

Disick visited the Queen Anne after meeting the Lovells and said it was a one-of-a-kind property.
“When I first walked in,” he said, “I had one word and that word was ‘Wow.’”
Disick also said the growth of northwest Arkansas, including the opening of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, made the Queen Anne an appealing option for those interested in fractional ownership.
“It’s an area that’s coming of age, and that’s what makes Eureka Springs an exciting venue for a project like this,” Disick said.
Perhaps more than that, though, Disick said, those who purchase partnerships will benefit from the Lovells’ investments of time and money.
“The Queen Anne has been a labor of love for the Lovells, and you’re going to feel that as you go through it,” he said.
