97.97 Acre Franklin County KY Hunting And Recreational Land
St. Johns Road WP001 Frankfort, KY 40601
Description
Location and access are key components of this ±97.97-acre recreational property in Franklin County, Kentucky. Situated just 8.6 miles from downtown Frankfort, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, usable acreage, and proximity to town. The tract features approximately 150 feet of road frontage along Hwy 1570, with water and electric available at the road, providing future development or cabin potential near the road, or the option to develop a driveway and build further into the property.
The land is primarily composed of mature hardwood timber, including marketable species that contribute both aesthetic and long-term management value. The timbered landscape provides excellent cover and habitat diversity while maintaining a natural woodland setting. A well-established internal trail system provides access throughout much of the property, making it easier to navigate on foot, ATV, or UTV for recreation, land management, or hunting.
A year-round blue line creek known as Sudduth Branch flows through the center of the property. This consistent water source enhances wildlife habitat and contributes to the overall diversity of the land. The terrain features approximately 120 feet of elevation change across the property, offering a mix of ridges, slopes, and lower creek-bottom areas. This variation in topography creates multiple potential building sites, stand locations, and management opportunities depending on the intended use.
Located in a Zone One hunting county, the property lies in an area known for strong deer genetics and trophy history. The combination of hardwood timber, water, elevation changes, and seclusion supports both resident and seasonal wildlife. The tract is well-suited for deer and turkey hunting, as well as general outdoor recreation such as hiking, trail riding, and nature observation.
With its convenient location near Frankfort, this property provides a balance between accessibility and a rural setting. It can serve as a recreational getaway, a hunting tract, or a long-term land investment with potential for future improvement. The acreage, utilities at the road, and existing trail infrastructure allow a new owner to shape the property according to their specific vision while maintaining its natural character.
