Small Farm, Big Potential: 40 +/- Acres of Hardin County Pasture and Woods

Property Description

These 40 +/- acres outside Cecilia stretch south from St. John Road and widen into a point at the back, an arrow-shaped farm with pasture and a pond up front and thick cover behind. There is no house and nothing to tear down, just open ground and woods ready for whatever the next owner has in mind: a few head of cattle, pasture rented for income, a cabin or future homesite, and a place to hunt in one of the most respected whitetail counties in Kentucky.
The open ground sits up front along St. John Road. Pasture fills the north end of the property, with a small farm pond tucked into the field, and the setup suits cattle as well as it suits a hay or grazing arrangement. A new owner can run his own livestock or rent the pasture ground to a neighbor and let the farm generate income while he decides on his long-term plans. Neighboring cattle fence and boundary stakes already mark the property lines on all sides.

Past the pasture, the farm turns to woods. The timber was last harvested likely 20-30 years ago, but many hardwoods were left standing, including a couple of truly massive oaks that are worth the walk on their own. What the harvest left behind is exactly what a deer wants: Edge. Thick regrowth and cover. Multiple areas of heavy mass acorn production, thick conifer hillside, a tulip poplar grove, and early successional in both the pasture field and the farthest south point of the property. A wet-weather creek crosses the property where the two meet, running after a good rain and carving a natural travel line through the cover. Multiple spots across the farm could easily lend themselves to food plots.

Hardin County has long been known for trophy whitetail, and this tract sits in the middle of it. The neighboring landowners have managed their ground for wildlife, and this farm has a history of holding mature whitetails and being a natural transition area for all times of the year. There is no house on the property, which leaves the vision entirely to the next owner. Whether a potential off-grid cabin or even a getaway to call your own. This is truly a blank chalkboard.

The location is a straight shot to everything you need. Elizabethtown is 25 minutes away, Fort Knox and Brandenburg are each about 25 minutes, and Louisville is an hour up the road. Hunting ground, pasture income, and a potential build site in one of the most respected whitetail counties in Kentucky. Call today and come walk it.
