Entire Farm Description:
For those looking for their own private piece of the Bluegrass, look no further. Located just minutes from Frankfort, this spacious multifunctional farm recently used for working cattle is far enough out to call country, yet close enough to enjoy the convenience of town. On the southern section of this property, up from Stony Creek, the driveway extends to an elevated homestead, once the centerpiece of this thriving farm. It is evident the property’s founders enjoyed its seclusion as well as the views from the ridge top. The northern section also shows evidence of an old homestead and could pave way for another building site once again. Nearly complete with fencing, this farm has the potential for not only farming practices but also some of the great recreational activities Kentucky is known for! Access throughout the farm from the recent excavation of roads/trails provides ease of travel whether it be ATVs, horseback or just exploring. If needed there are dual entrances to the property both from the main southern entrance as well as a northeast entrance accessed via easement. This property consists of mostly open areas with some mature hardwoods scattered throughout. Barrell Branch splits the larger North and South sections of the property and there are multiple stock ponds providing added benefit. Thick areas with soft wood mass and undergrowth are also present providing cover and browse for an abundance of wildlife. With minimal effort for the management of deer and turkeys, the hunting opportunities here are endless. Not only that, but the chance for weekend getaways with something for the entire family is not out of the question!

Tract 1 Description: 85.036 acres+/- surveyed acres
Located just minutes from Frankfort, the largest parcel of this farm most recently used for working cattle remains fenced for the most part and is ready for farming practices once again. Accessed from Hwy 421, up from Stony Creek, the established driveway extends to an elevated homestead, once the centerpiece of this thriving farm. The potential for building here once again is possible as well as multiple farming activities. There are three stock ponds located on this parcel adding benefits to livestock as well as wildlife. The posterior portion of this property gently slopes downward to border Barrell Branch which for the most part has water throughout the year. Intermittent mature timber and open areas increase the line of sight, giving extended opportunities for hunters and wildlife management. Its size and location not only provide investment opportunities but also allow for increased development and a multitude of recreational activities.

Tract 2 Description: 61.059 surveyed acres
Located just minutes from Frankfort, yet residing clear off the main path, this parcel of the farm is the most secluded and has remained untouched for many years. Like most of the farm, this northern section is nearly complete with fencing and access via easement from Harvieland Road or the southern tract(Tract 1). The potential for building here is notable as there is evidence of a homestead that once occupied the central area of the farm. The southern portion of this property gently slopes downward to border Barrell Branch which for the most part has water throughout the year. At some point, this parcel appears to have been mostly pasture for livestock as it is now comprised of thick undergrowth and smaller trees. It is obvious the wildlife has enjoyed its size and seclusion as there are many natural trails that wind through the thick brushy landscape. Excavation of UTV trails has been roughed in recently allowing access to most areas…… great for getting into position this fall for deer season! This property not only provides recreational opportunities but also allows for improvement developments, farming and investment potential.
