The Sellers Farm was a historic farmstead in Maysville, Arkansas. The main house was a two-story I-house, with a rear wing giving it an overall T configuration. The main facade faced west, and was covered by a porch that extended the full width on the first floor, and for three of the five bays on the second. There was a front-facing gable above the three center bays. Built c. 1910, it was an example of a little-altered I-house. Outbuildings on the property included a feed barn, chicken house, milk shed, and privy. All of the buildings on the property were in Arkansas; the associated land extended into neighboring Oklahoma. [2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, [1] at which time most of its outbuildings were described as being fair-to-poor condition, with the house in good condition, [2] but the house and most, if not all, of the out buildings have since been destroyed. [3]
