Fayetteville homebuilder Baumann and Crosno Construction has picked up a three-year funding agreement from Searcy-based First Security Bank worth $4.98 million.

The funding is tied to 21 acres Baumann and Crosno recently acquired on West County Line Road in Springdale north of the Benton/Washington county line for $2.27 million. The purchase price equals $2.48 per square foot.

The company paid The Steve and Linda Geels Revocable Trust $1.12 million for 10 acres and Berean Properties, managed by Kathy Howerton, $1.15 million for 11 acres. City Title & Closing of Fayetteville was the title agent for both deals.

The contiguous site is bordered by South Downum and Pinkley roads near Shaw Family Park.

Michael Crosno, the construction company’s managing partner, said the land will be developed as a 59-lot residential neighborhood called County Line Square. Home sizes will range from 2,700 to 3,200 square feet with list prices starting in the $600,000s.

Paving contractor Pavecon of Cave Springs, led by Ben Shankle, is handling the site development work. Crosno hopes to begin that work by the first of July and have it completed by next spring.
