Description

This +/- 240.68-acre property located at 1113 Whites Run Road in Carrollton, Kentucky, offers a large and versatile tract with an excellent mix of open ridge tops, wooded cover, and water features. Conveniently positioned just off Interstate 71, this farm provides easy access from Louisville, Cincinnati, and Lexington, while offering a private setting with substantial acreage and proven wildlife habitat.

The property includes multiple potential building sites, both along the road and within the interior of the tract. Several sites feature expansive ridge-top views overlooking the surrounding valleys and hardwood timber. Water and electric utilities are available at the road, creating options for a future residence, hunting cabin, or recreational retreat.

Access throughout the property is well-established, with an existing entrance road and an internal trail and road system that allows vehicles to navigate between open ridge tops, wooded draws, and water features. The road infrastructure supports both recreational use and potential development projects.

Approximately 75 acres of open ridge ground are spread across the property, currently in hay production, and also provide an excellent opportunity for food plots or pasture conversion. These openings are connected by wooded travel corridors, creating an abundance of edge habitat that benefits deer, turkey, and other game species. The mix of habitat types across the farm supports strong biodiversity and consistent wildlife activity.

The property has undergone significant habitat improvement work through a conservation plan implemented by the current owner. This plan included extensive eradication of invasive species, such as bush honeysuckle, to promote native vegetation growth and enhance wildlife habitat. The results of these efforts are visible in the quality of the timber, the regeneration of native understory plants, and the landscape's overall health.

Carroll County is located within Kentucky’s Zone 1 hunting region, providing extended hunting opportunities and liberal bag limits. This property also has a documented history of producing trophy-class whitetails. Its thick cover, hardwood timber, open ridge tops, and reliable water sources offer a strong foundation for managing and sustaining a quality deer population.

In addition to its hunting and recreational appeal, the property includes multiple ponds and the year-round waters of Whites Run Creek. These natural water features enhance the property's aesthetics and provide essential water sources for wildlife and potential sites for small-scale livestock or agricultural uses.

The topography varies across the property, featuring approximately 310 feet of elevation change from ridge to creek bottom. This variation creates multiple vantage points, scenic views, and natural travel corridors for wildlife. The combination of ridges, hollows, and creek frontage provides a diverse and engaging landscape for recreational users and land managers.

The location adds further value. The property is situated just a few miles from downtown Carrollton, offering quick access to amenities while maintaining a secluded feel. Louisville lies approximately 48 miles southwest, Cincinnati is about 62 miles north, and Lexington is roughly 75 miles southeast. This central location makes the farm easily accessible from several major metro areas.

Overall, this 240.68-acre property represents a strong opportunity for buyers seeking large contiguous acreage in northern Kentucky's high-quality hunting and recreation area. With utilities available, established access, habitat improvements, and a history of trophy whitetail harvests, it offers a versatile foundation for long-term land use, investment, and enjoyment.
