24 Acres Bordering National Forest! Privacy, Proximity, and Public Land Access! This unique 24-acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a private retreat that borders the US National Forest on two sides. Located only 5-6 miles from Manchester's shopping and hospital, you can enjoy the ultimate "sportsman's lifestyle" without sacrificing the convenience of town. The Land: 24 sprawling acres split by Otter Creek Road. The terrain offers incredible natural beauty and direct access to thousands of acres of National Forest for hunting and hiking. While a portion of the acreage near the creek sits within a flood zone—providing a beautiful natural water feature—all primary improvements, including the home and garage, sit safely outside of the flood zone. A comfortable 1,100 sq. ft. residence (expanded from a single-wide) featuring 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, a kitchen, and an impressively large living room perfect for gatherings. The detached one car garage features an unfinished upper-level room, offering the perfect canvas for a studio, guest quarters, or extra storage. Includes a sheltered picnic area, ready for summer cookouts and enjoying the sights and sounds of the Kentucky hills. Whether you're looking for a permanent residence or a premier hunting camp, this property offers unmatched location and potential. Sold As-Is.
