This remarkable, highly versatile mountain property is located within that magic hour of Lexington 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 aspect. Miller's Creek, 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 densely forested with various 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 that provide a premium habitat for rock-dwelling creatures. Once at the top of the ridges, the views overlooking Miller's Creek and the Kentucky River valley are truly something to behold. If it's running water you desire, this versatile property has over 2 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 with a 64x100 barn to preserve all your toys, tools, and equipment while keeping them dry and at your disposal. The property has over 1000' of blacktop county road frontage and a house seat all ready for your dream home, complete with water, electric, and septic hook-up, ready to build. The property has multiple locations for additional cabins or home sites in a quiet, peaceful country setting. This area is known for producing giant bucks with a healthy deer population. The fertile river bottom crop fields and rugged limestone bluffs provide excellent habitat, and to top it off, this property has seemingly endless food plotting options for drawing them in from every direction. The turkey population thrives here as these big mountain gobblers keep the spring valleys at a constant rumble. If one chose, this property would be perfect for settling down and homesteading with a solid farming operation. You can't forget yet another pastime unique to this area, searching for agate as the streams and property in this area 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 are 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, call me before it's gone, and let's see if this property is exactly what you've been searching for.
