The house is in Arkansas, there is no water around lakes, streams, etc. The burrows are right next to the house walls.

Yes, it's perfectly safe. The proximity of the water table has nothing to do with it's likelyhood of flooding. We routinely hit water less than 2' below the surface here and (except for Katrina) have never been flooded. Crawfish mounds are in the yards of many houses that didn't even flood during Katrina.
If you like the house and can deal with the site of the burrows, buy it. If you want to get rid of the mudbugs, start bringing in dirt or improve the drainage. If the ground dries out after the rain, the crawfish problem will disappear.

I don't mean to be dis respectable but that's funny. If you have that much water you might want to check to see what kind of water rights you have to that water and start selling it.

No it is not unless you buy PLENTY of flood insurance, and expect it to be costly. Is it in flood plain?

Perhaps - if the house is on stilts!
