47 +/- Acre Kentucky Tract With Big Potential

Property Description

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.
