A rare opportunity to have your own modern hunting and fishing retreat on the beautiful, meandering Kentucky River. This prime farm and wooded land are situated within the majestic Daniel Boone National Forest. It is currently being used as a “gentlemen’s farm” with 20-head of prime beef cattle grazing on 6 lush, river-bottom grass fields. With wooded timber hillsides and benches, and a network of elevated hunting blinds, there is plenty of room for you and your guests to comfortably absorb the complete outdoors experience. This property also has a whopping 1 ½ miles of Kentucky River frontage, with its own private boat ramp and floating dock—perfect for boating, kayaking, and fishing. The main residence on this farm is that from a house-beautiful magazine. “Where elegance meets rustic” may describe this gorgeous house:  When you first enter through wide double doors, you are greeted with high vaulted ceilings and a stone fireplace in the main living room. The other rooms also boast spaciousness:  a large, modern kitchen and bedrooms with adjoining baths, and a vaulted-ceiling sunroom with an Endless Pool, sauna, and hot tub/Jacuzzi. To complement the dwelling’s custom craftsmanship, there are large decks and porches surrounding the house—perfect for entertaining numerous guests or to kick back, put your feet up and just watch the slow-moving Kentucky River go by while you gaze upon the backdrop of beautiful, forested mountains and cliff lines. If it is more space you want to accommodate family and multiple visitors for extended stays, then the on-site guest house and apartment provide that additional space, so no one ever feels cramped. And if you are looking for space to store your belongings, tools, or equipment? — look no further. The property has a huge walk-up attic, 3 oversized garages, a spacious workshop, and separate equipment and garden/boat sheds. If you are serious about taking the next step to making your dreams a reality, give me a call and let’s schedule an appointment to see what this beautiful property can offer you.
