Description
Located just minutes from downtown Frankfort, I-64, and approximately 0.3 miles from Elkhorn Creek, this +/- 72.49-acre property in Franklin County, Kentucky, offers a combination of residential living, recreational use, and small-scale homestead features in one well-rounded tract.
The property includes a 2,640 square foot home with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1 half bathroom. The home is a charming one-and-a-half-story design and features an enclosed addition that provides additional usable space for everyday living, storage, or flexible use, depending on the new owner’s needs. The layout offers a functional footprint for full-time residence or for a weekend and seasonal property.
A major highlight is the extensive improvements and outbuildings. There are two external, two-door garages, including a 500-square-foot garage and a larger 720-square-foot garage. These provide substantial covered parking and workspace options for vehicles, equipment, tools, and recreational gear. The additional structures on the property include a greenhouse and chicken setup with a coop, supporting gardening and small livestock activities.
The land itself has been thoughtfully utilized and maintained by the current owners. An established trail system runs throughout the property, providing ATV access to most areas of the tract. This makes it easier to move between food plot areas, hunting locations, and general property maintenance zones.
For the sportsman, this property is located in a Zone 1 hunting county and includes four elevated shooting houses positioned for use during the hunting season. The property boasts a history of trophy-class deer and turkey activity. The improvements already in place allow for comfortable hunting setups and the ability to hunt in a range of weather conditions.
Beyond hunting, the property has supported a wide range of outdoor and self-sufficient lifestyle uses. The current owners have enjoyed canoeing on nearby Elkhorn Creek, gardening, raising chickens, orchard production, and keeping bees for honey production. The combination of open usable areas, trails, and proximity to creek recreation gives the property broad appeal for buyers who want both privacy and convenience.
The location is another key advantage. Being only minutes from Frankfort means access to shopping, dining, medical services, and employment opportunities without giving up acreage, hunting opportunities, and a rural lifestyle. Proximity to I-64 provides additional regional connectivity for commuting or travel.
If you are looking for a tract that combines a move-in-ready home, multiple garages and outbuildings, recreational trails, and established hunting infrastructure in a convenient Franklin County location, this +/- 72.49-acre property offers a strong mix of features and proven usability.
