Located within that magic hour of Lexington is this remarkable picturesque mountain property along the Kentucky River corridor. Only a short 7-minute drive from Irvine, this versatile large tract of land has it all! From the fertile, river bottom tillable fields to the hardwood ridges and limestone cliff lines, this property provides recreational opportunities in every direction. Miller’s Creek which is a slow meandering stream makes up the southeast boundary of the property, offering a pure kayaking/canoeing/fishing experience as it meanders out to the Kentucky River about a mile downstream to the south as the crow flies. The hillside faces are moderately sloped and are densely forested with a variety of soft and hardwood tree species such as oak, hickory, poplar, maple, walnut, and beech just to name a few. As you move north toward the ridge tops you encounter an intermittent band of unique limestone cliff faces, perfect for exploring with seemingly endless small cracks and crevices providing rock-dwelling creatures lots of habitats. Once at the top of the ridges, the views overlooking Miller’s Creek and the Kentucky River valley are truly something to behold. If its running water you desire, this versatile property has over 2 ½ miles of flowing, blue-line streams and another mile of seasonal streams. The property has a trail system of old logging roads throughout most of the textured landscape to help navigate this large, surveyed property. But it gets better! In addition, this property comes complete with a top-of-the-line 1900+ sq/ft modular home with all the finest amenities. The 64x100 barn preserves all your toys, tools and equipment, keeping them dry and at your disposal. The property has multiple locations for an additional cabin or home sites in that peaceful country setting throughout. This area is known for producing giant bucks and a healthy population with the fertile river bottom crop fields and rugged limestone bluffs with food plotting options everywhere. The turkey population thrives here as these big mountain gobblers keep the spring valleys at a constant rumble. This property would be perfect to settle down and homesteading with a solid farming operation if one chose. You can’t forget yet another pass time that is unique to this area, searching for agate as the streams in this area and property are rich with them. With so many activities like hunting, fishing, kayaking, hiking, camping, horseback riding, agate hunting and more, the possibilities here for constantly exploring a new outdoor adventure is almost limitless. All this is within a very short, scenic drive to nearby towns or cities. If this property/home package sounds like something you’ve been searching for, give me a call now before it’s gone and let’s see if this property is exactly what you’ve been searching for.
