Rare opportunity to own 28.5 acres just outside of Red River Gorge and just a few miles from downtown Stanton. This exceptional property offers a unique blend of natural beauty, privacy, and future potential--ideal for a private estate, recreational retreat, or investment opportunity. The land features two surveyed dams and two privately stocked ponds, creating a picturesque setting rarely found in this area. The rolling terrain provides multiple buildable sites, many offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and countryside, making it well-suited for development into multiple lots or a thoughtfully designed retreat-style property. Utilities are already within reach, with county water on the property, electric available (buyer to verify cost to extend service), and high-speed internet options including fiber through Mountain Telephone and widespread use of Starlink within the community. Additional flexibility: Lot 15 (1.13-acre buildable lot) may be purchased separately, while the remaining acreage will be offered together as one tract--providing options for both individual buyers and larger-scale investors. Opportunities like this in the Red River Gorge area are limited--don't miss your chance to secure a truly special piece of Kentucky land.

Welcome to 170 Birch Hollow Rd in Stanton, Kentucky—where the fireplace is stone, the vibes are strong, and the hot tub is always hotter than your ex's take on country living. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin brings the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern function. It's the kind of place that makes you rethink your entire life plan—because why wouldn't you want a place like this to escape to (or cash-flow from)? Step inside and you're greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings and a jaw-dropping stone propane fireplace that absolutely refuses to be ignored. Whether you're sipping bourbon or just pretending you're off-grid while scrolling Zillow, it's got the kind of energy that makes people stay a little longer and breathe a little deeper. The first-floor bedroom and bath keep things accessible and easy—no stair-climbing marathons required. Upstairs, two more bedrooms await, including a tucked-away primary that feels like a treehouse hideout for grown-ups. The whole place has this "cozy but not cramped" thing going on, and somehow it just works. Out back? That's where the magic happens. The hot tub on the back deck practically begs for late-night hangs under the stars. You'll lose track of time in the best way possible. Out front, the porch is perfect for morning coffee, afternoon naps, or shameless people-watching (if you're lucky enough to spot a neighbor, which you probably won't). And location-wise? Let's just say you're surrounded by everything that makes the Red River Gorge iconic—towering cliffs, underground caves, zipline courses, secret swimming holes, and more trails than you'll ever have time to hike. The big names are close by (you know the ones), but you're tucked just far enough away to enjoy the peace, quiet, and reliable WiFi. Whether you're looking to invest in a turn-key short-term rental or just finally say "yes" to that cabin dream, this one brings the goods. Fully furnished, move-in (or rent-out) ready, and waiting for someone bold enough to call it theirs. Don't let this be the one you tell your friends you almost bought. Come claim it. Buyers to verify all the details—but the vibe? That's certified.
