Built in 1900, Sandiff was originally a logging camp with a post office situated on the Little Red River, north of Higden Arkansas. Sandiff was once a true township. In 1933 Mr. George Washington Washburn purchased Sandiff and built, what is today, the main house. He then transformed Sandiff into a working farm. Sandiff was purchased by the Jones family as a summer vacation spot in 1942 and soon became their part-time residence. They were so enamored with the land that it eventually became their full-time home. In 1963 the Little Red River was dammed to form Greers Ferry Lake. Sandiff's 90 acres of meadows and hardwood forests sit on the middle fork of Greers Ferry Lake. In 1994 Sandiff was converted into, what is today, a "Mountain Lake Retreat". Sandiff is rented to individual groups and is perfect for the family get away; reunions, group vacations and meetings, church groups, boy/girl scout troop camping or as a secluded "Honeymoon Hideout." Sandiff includes a recently built 46' x 24' screened-in pavilion, complete with a modern kitchen and a full bathroom. |
