47 +/- acres on the west side of Knox Lillard Road, and a piece of ground that punches above its size. The tract is mostly thickets and timber: a few stands of mature hardwood, a diverse mix of species, and younger growth coming behind it, set across gentle, rolling slopes with a creek running through. Trails are already cut throughout. The entry is gated off Knox Lillard Road, and an abandoned tobacco barn stands near the road just inside it, still standing, but not a usable structure. For someone looking for that blank chalkboard satellite farm, this is trophy deer and turkey habitat, and it is hunted today under a lease that is producing income for the owner. That tells a buyer the ground is proven rather than promising. The lease expires upon closing, so possession is clean; the next owner hunts it himself the first season. The blinds, feeders, and stands here belong to the current lessee and do not convey with the sale. Not all of it is timber, and the open ground is what gives this tract its options. Approximately seven acres were tillable, last planted in tobacco about fifteen years ago and now grown into native grasses. That field is early-successional cover sitting in the middle of thickets, thermal hubs, and timber, which is exactly the kind of edge a deer herd uses hard. It is also 7 acres a buyer can work back up and plant, or the level, open ground a home eventually sits on. Add roughly 500 yards of power line easement across the northern portion of this tract. Between the field and the easement, this 47 +/- acre tract has two separate pieces of open ground to work with. Electricity is on the road. Beyond that, this is a blank chalkboard for someone who wants to build a small, private hunting property exactly the way he wants it, or who wants a wooded, gently rolling piece of Kentucky to put a home on down the road. The topography here is forgiving enough to give a buyer real options on both counts. Gallatin County sits on I-71 roughly midway between Cincinnati and Louisville, with Sparta, Warsaw, and Carrollton close by and the Kentucky Speedway just up the road, close enough to reach easily on a Friday evening, far enough to feel like it is yours. Call today and come walk it.

Timber is the defining feature of this 160 +/- acre tract. Located on the east side of Knox Lillard Road, this is the larger and more varied half of the farm, consisting of approximately 160 acres of predominantly wooded ground. The property offers a combination of mature timber, diverse species, and younger growth developing throughout the tract, providing both immediate timber resources and long-term growth potential. The timber stands across gentle, rolling terrain with creek drainage throughout the property. A diverse mix of hardwoods creates a strong natural resource component, while the combination of mature timber and younger regeneration gives the tract the characteristics buyers look for in a long-term woodland investment. A professional timber cruise or forestry evaluation would be recommended for buyers interested in determining current merchantable timber volume and value. Established interior trails provide access throughout the property, making it practical to inspect the timber, navigate the acreage, hunt, and manage the property. For a tract of this size, the existing trail system is a significant asset and provides a foundation for future timber, recreational, and wildlife management. The property also offers quality habitat for deer and turkey, with the combination of timber, water, rolling terrain, and areas of early successional growth creating varied wildlife habitat. The property is currently being hunted under a lease that generates income for the current owner. The hunting lease expires upon closing, allowing the new owner to take possession without an existing hunting lease. Blinds, feeders, and stands belong to the current lessee and do not convey with the sale. Several open and transitional areas provide additional opportunities for a buyer interested in managing the property for wildlife or recreation. The open area consists of about 3 places on the property. About 1/4 acre of open ground is located in the heart, while approximately 150 yards of power line easement cross the northern portion and a 600-yard pipeline easement follows the southern end. These areas are currently in early successional growth and provide potential locations for future habitat improvements, food plots, bedding areas, or travel corridors, subject to applicable easement restrictions and landowner preferences. Approximately 700 yards of I-71 frontage provide excellent highway exposure and convenient access to the property. Electricity is available along the road, while the majority of the tract remains undeveloped, giving a buyer flexibility to determine how the property is utilized. For the recreational buyer, this property offers a substantial block of timber, established trails, water, rolling topography, and multiple habitat types. For the buyer focused on timber, the combination of mature stands, species diversity, and younger growth provides the foundation for a long-term woodland asset with potential future timber income. The property also offers potential for a buyer interested in future improvements or a private rural retreat, with electricity along the road, quick highway access, and substantial acreage. Located in Gallatin County with convenient access to I-71, the property is approximately midway between Cincinnati and Louisville, with Sparta, Warsaw, Carrollton, and the Kentucky Speedway within the surrounding area.
