495 Acres in Jackson, KY - $299,000

PRICED TO SELL!! TREMENDOUS TIMBER INVESTMENT TRACT!!  This property has a recent timber cruise indicating nearly $800K worth of timber value at the mill. Located in the northeast portion of Kentucky’s Elk Restoration Zone is this gorgeous Appalachian Mountain property, just minutes from the town of Jackson.  This tract has some of the most stunning views and impressive rock features found anywhere!  Wake up to a fall morning listening to the forest just come alive here as the experience is almost surreal, in this beautiful landscape.  If you’ve wanted to own a large forested property in some of the most gorgeous terrains anywhere on earth, you may have just found what you’ve been looking for.  With county blacktop road access and utilities, building your own cabin or bringing in a camper is no problem.  The views from the peaks on this property are breathtaking as you can see for miles when the leaves are off.  This tract is only 23 short miles from the town of Hazard and less than 18 miles from the nearby 1,231 acre Buckhorn Lake State Park which provides opportunities for fishing, boating, swimming and skiing all in itself.  The State Park offers lodging, cottages, and dining as well.  Just to the southeast approximately 17 miles is the Daniel Boone National Forest providing even more room to take your outdoor game to the next level.  This remote big-woods landscape is home to everything roaming the wild Appalachian Mountains including big mature whitetails, eastern toms, black bear and the occasional bobcat and gray fox.  In the upper reaches of this property, the mountain streams begin, descending through the valleys below providing clean, liquid life which jumpstarts the entire ecosystem here.  This tract is made up primarily of a natural mix of poplar and beech in the valleys, while the hillsides and narrow ridge tops are predominantly oak, maple and hickory.  The gas well access roads lead through much of this property and its challenging terrain helping to create good hiking trails, as well as potential horseback riding or ATV/UTV riding.  There are several potential spots throughout the property that would be suitable for a private “off-the-grid” small cabin.  This property would be perfect for an ultra-private weekend get-away for family and friends to hunt, hike, camp, or explore and make memories while taking in all that nature has to offer.  Give me a call and let’s see if this is the recreational property you’ve been dreaming of!
