Description

This 95.96± acre property located near Frankfort offers a combination of privacy, natural features, and improvements suited for recreational use, hunting, or a private retreat. The land is approximately 12 miles from Frankfort and 19 miles from Owenton, offering a balance of seclusion and access to nearby amenities.

The property is predominantly wooded, with a strong presence of mature hardwood timber, including mast-producing species that support local wildlife.

Open ridge top areas offer space for food plots or habitat management, while the existing topography supports a variety of hunting setups and recreational use.

Approximately 66 acres of the property are enrolled in a conservation program that restricts access to foot traffic only and maintains the land in its current natural state.

Additional improvements include a 30 x 40 metal building with utilities, a traditional tobacco barn, and a firewood shed. City water, electric, and septic are already in place, making the property ready for immediate use. The northern boundary adjoins Kentucky American Water Company property, which helps limit future neighboring development.
