The search is over! You have found the premier, turn-key deer, and turkey hunting property you've been looking for! This tremendous hunting tract with the perfect blend of whitetail and turkey habitat is located just 25 minutes north of Frankfort, about 1.5 miles from the Kentucky River and Owen County line. With the main entrance along the south boundary , this private, gorgeous upland property has been refined and tweaked to have everything it takes to turn out quality whitetails. Even the positioning and construction of the blinds with well-planned entrance and exit routes provide the opportunity to slip in and out undetected. Taking in the entire upper reaches of several main valleys and linking the main ridge all together provides many hunting options and the many uses this property works so well for. This gorgeous property comprises what once was 2twoadjoining tracts, with open-ridge top fields, brushy buffer zones that feather the fields , and timbered hardwood draws. All this provides a multitude of habitat transition zones in which deer and turkey thrive. This property is a true recreation/outdoorsman's playground, with great deer and turkey hunting, ATV and horseback riding, camping, hiking,…and the list goes on. There is almost no limit to the options this tract provides. If it's an activity you do outdoors? You can probably do it here. Did someone say hunting? The large tracts of open fields along the ridge tops provide numerous possibilities for additional food plotting options and ambush locations. The lush field forbs and old field growth that are found throughout the property provide tremendous deer browse and cover for bedding and help dramatically facilitate daylight movement during hunting season. The lush clover fields provide an excellent food source for the deer throughout the year and the perfect strutting zones for those spring toms. This property is loaded with excellent turkey and deer signs throughout! When my co-agent and I were walking the property to take photos, we found several sheds, a couple of which should be a nice buck this coming year (see pictures)! In addition, this property has a three bedroom/1 bath fixer/upper home sitting along the south boundary that would make for a perfect hunting lodge with some work—also included a few small buildings and 2 barns in need of a little TLC. If you've been looking for these things in your dream property, your search just might be over! Call me, and let's see if this property is where you'll spend those crisp November mornings!
