Description
What a tremendous opportunity to own a stunning 66+/- acre mountain property bordering the Daniel Boone National Forest, providing access to thousands of acres more to explore and hunt right at your fingertips. Nestled in one of the most beautiful regions east of the Mississippi River, this tract combines breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife, and modern conveniences—just a short drive from nearby towns. This secluded property is tucked away in a remote mountain setting where whitetail deer, wild turkeys, and other wildlife flourish. From big, mature bucks and eastern toms to the occasional bear and bobcat, the opportunities for outdoor recreation are endless. The western boundary follows a ridge top with sweeping views of the valleys to the northeast and southeast that are nothing short of spectacular. Not a neighbor in sight, this property offers quiet mountain solitude just the way it should be. The land itself features a seasonal watershed with a natural mix of regenerating oak and hickory hardwoods on the uplands and soft mast maple and poplar along the lower slopes. Lush undergrowth provides excellent cover and balanced habitat for wildlife. At the same time, a network of old roads winds throughout much of the property, offering opportunities for ATV riding, horseback riding, or simply exploring. The diverse topography adds character and provides scenic views, especially from the upper elevations. Adding to its appeal are multiple structures already in place, including a partially furnished 14’x40’ cabin, a second fully furnished 12’x32’ Amish-built cabin, a 20’x30’ pavilion perfect for gatherings, a 10’x20’ storage shed, an 11’x20’ workshop, and a 2019 22-foot camper. With electric, county water, and high-speed internet onsite, this property is ideally suited for a weekend getaway or extended mountain stay. Whether you are looking to hunt, hike, camp, or relax, this property delivers the best of both worlds—rugged adventure with the comfort of modern amenities. If you have been searching for the perfect mountain retreat to relax, hunt, recharge, and explore, this property could be exactly what you have been waiting for.
