PROFILE
The Stonebreaker restaurant is bustling with activity. And with the very first taste, I’m filled with unadulterated exhilaration. Fayetteville’s newest culinary destination is located on Markham Hill, attached to a 78-room hotel with a vibe and feeling that toes the line between modern design and nostalgic comfort. The experiences at The Stonebreaker, whether hospitality, food or lodging, are centered around taking time to enjoy the world at hand — and I’m a fan of any place that allows me more time to enjoy life.
Perched high on a ridge above the Kings River, an unpretentious house with a modern flair offers a lovely retreat for its owner. The homeowner built it there to take advantage of the expansive view of the river below. It is her second home, so the house is meant as a getaway for peace and relaxation. “I grew up in the country — way out in the country — and hated it as a kid, but as an adult, I just need to get to the woods every now and then for a refresh,” she said.
Laurice A. Hachem, a dynamic philanthropist and seasoned real estate investor, has firmly established her second home in the vibrant community of Northwest Arkansas. Although she adeptly balances her life between Rogers and the bustling city of Tampa, Florida, her love for Northwest Arkansas remains at the core of her endeavors. Laurice recently made a $1 million gift to Arkansas Children’s Northwest, underscoring her ongoing support for a community that prioritizes advanced health care options and exceptional care for its youngest members.
