If you’ve been searching for a rare property that combines river frontage, recreational opportunities, and a ready-to-enjoy getaway cabin, spectacular caves and waterfalls, a natural spring, and a build site, you have found it all in this stunning tract. With more than one mile of frontage along the East Fork Obey River, this property offers an incredible amount of private river access where you can fish, canoe, kayak, swim, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful sounds of flowing water.
A charming weekend cabin, within earshot of the river, is already in place, providing a perfect basecamp for hunting trips, family weekends, or quiet escapes to the outdoors. A short walk from the cabin is the river and Lints Cove, a beautiful swimming hole complete with a rope swing and canyon views.
The property is full of natural character, featuring multiple creeks, natural springs, waterfalls, and a large cave accessible to adventurous hikers. The Cave adds a unique feature rarely found on properties like this and highlights the diverse landscape and natural beauty throughout the tract.
Near the cave are more swimming holes, trail trees used by Native Americans as markers for river crossings or shelter, and Dragon's Breath Spring, a natural spring producing more than 3 million gallons of mountain fresh water daily. Lick Branch Creek begins at the ridge lot and flows over cave overhangs, creating several breathtaking waterfalls and stair-step falls as it makes its way to the East Fork of the Obey River.
For those looking to build, the property also includes a beautiful 5±-acre ridge-top building site with level to gently rolling terrain, offering an expansive view overlooking the canyon and privacy while still connected to the rest of the acreage. Electric and fiber-optic internet are available, making it an excellent location for your forever home, with over 275± acres to play on!
Walking, hiking, and ATV trails are scattered across the property, and wildlife is abundant. The area is known for strong populations of whitetail deer, wild turkey, black bear, wild hogs, and small game, making it an outstanding hunting and recreational tract for the outdoor enthusiast. Fentress County does have a private lands black bear season. The property is full of large old-growth timbers, including black walnut, oaks, red cedar, hickory, and more. Prolific foliage abounds as well, including morel mushrooms, ginseng, wild berries, and a dozen other rare botanicals.
Beyond the property lines, you’ll find some of the region’s best outdoor destinations. Across the canyon is the Xanadu, a 23-mile cave system and East Fork stables. And just a short drive away, Standing Stone State Park, Pickett CCC Memorial State Park, and the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area offer endless hiking, horseback riding, and outdoor exploration.
