Exceptional building site, prepped and ready for foundation. Incredible view of surrounding farmland and woods. Consists of 8.16 acres with a running brook and nearly 3/4 acre pond (installed in 2018). New road installed, with two (2) 4' x 30' culverts over gorgeous creek (with #2 gravel below the culverts and heavy shot rock around and on top to promote stability), and road bed prepped and graveled to site. Water is on lot side of road, and can be connected without tunneling (Connection fee is $650). Bluegrass Energy has indicated they will install line from either Hopewell Rd or Jackson Pike to top of hill at no cost. Site tested and found suitable for leach septic system (sized for 245' - 3 bedroom capacity. If additional bedroom, then would need 80' more of leach chambers). Ready to lay foundation and start to build. The excavation was for a 3600' square foot home.

Great place to build that dream home in the country. This 3 acre tract, located in central Mercer County, is convenient to city and to major highway (US 127), but provides privacy and gorgeous country views. Convenient to Harrodsburg, Danville, Frankfort and Lexington.
