This is a tremendous chance to own a beautiful 420± acre mountain hunting property with breathtaking views. Situated deep in the heart of Kentucky’s prime Elk Zone, this remote mountain tract provides the perfect habitat for the ever-growing elk population, along with trophy whitetails, eastern wild turkeys, black bears, and the occasional fox or coyote. If you’ve been dreaming of a big woods property, they don’t get much better than this. Gorgeous rolling ridges and valleys sprawl out in nearly every direction, offering panoramic views you’d expect west of the Rockies, not east of the Mississippi. Tucked far away from the hustle of everyday life, this is true mountain solitude—no neighbors in sight, just quiet, fresh air, and wildlife at every turn. The property takes in a major watershed with over a mile of blue-line stream running through it and a picturesque pond, now home to a thriving beaver family. The habitat is a healthy mix of regenerating oak and hickory hardwoods, soft mast trees like maple and poplar, and wide reclaimed strip mine fields with pockets of wildlife watering holes scattered throughout. Dense undergrowth across much of the tract makes for exceptional wildlife cover and forage. A good network of old mining roads and trails allows access throughout by ATV or horseback, perfect for exploring, hunting, hiking, or just escaping into the mountains. Several beautiful off-the-grid cabin sites are scattered throughout the upper elevations, ideal for a hunting lodge or family getaway. The land is accessible by two routes—one from a gated, deeded easement at the north entrance (video of this access available upon request) and another from the south along old mine roads, reaching the higher ridges. This is a rare opportunity to own a true mountain hunting retreat with room to roam, relax, and reconnect. Call me if you’d like to learn more or schedule a visit.
