Nearly 70 acres of quintessential Kentucky countryside await, offering a rare blend of privacy, recreation, productive land, wildlife habitat, and breathtaking Bluegrass views. Properties of this caliber seldom come available, especially those that directly adjoin the Kleber Wildlife Management Area, creating an incredible natural buffer and expanding your recreational opportunities beyond the property lines. The land itself is exceptionally diverse and well-balanced, featuring a harmonious mix of open pasture, mature timber, rolling terrain, scenic ridgelines, and natural travel corridors that attract abundant wildlife. Hunters will appreciate the property's proven habitat, excellent tree stand and ground blind locations, food plot opportunities, and a year-round water source that draws deer, turkey, and other native wildlife. Mature hardwood timber includes desirable walnut and white oak, while fruit trees scattered throughout the property add both beauty and functionality. A stunning 500-foot pond serves as a centerpiece to the farm, reflecting the surrounding landscape and enhancing the property's peaceful setting. Several established recreation trails wind through the acreage, allowing easy exploration by foot, ATV, horseback, or side-by-side. Bottom land acreage across the road offers creek frontage, rich in potential. For livestock enthusiasts, the farm includes small fields with run-in sheds designed to support proper rotational grazing. Located in the lower fields, there is a stock barn that one can appreciate for its historical and aesthetic value. Whether your interests include homesteading, gardening, crop cultivation, or simply enjoying the outdoors, this property offers the flexibility to support a wide range of lifestyles. The farmhouse was thoughtfully revived during a major renovation around 2010 where the back half was made new at the time. It retains much of its historic charm while offering modern comforts. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting open-concept layout highlighted by beautiful cherry, walnut, and poplar flooring. A wood-burning stove provides both ambiance and a reliable secondary heat source. Additional features include Haiku ceiling fans, bamboo blinds, a unique split landing staircase, spray foam insulation, and a metal roof for long-term peace of mind. Beneath the home, a poured concrete foundation basement provides valuable storage and utility space, while a limestone root cellar offers both character and practical functionality. The detached 2.5-car garage includes electrical service and an expansive upper level, creating opportunities for a workshop, studio, equipment storage, hobby space, or future expansion. The beautiful sunsets here are real! The property's size and layout provide several attractive building locations, offering a rare opportunity to create a private compound, or multigenerational estate where generations can live, gather, and enjoy the land together while still maintaining privacy and independence. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a weekend retreat, hunting property, working farm, homestead, or a second home to escape the demands of city life, this remarkable property delivers some of the very best that Kentucky has to offer. Rich in history, abundant in wildlife, and surrounded by some of the most captivating views in the Bluegrass, this is a truly special opportunity that must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
