Description
If you have been searching for a private country home with exceptional hunting opportunities and convenient access to nearby communities, this property deserves your attention. Located just north of Greenup along County Road 800 North, this secluded rural property offers the rare combination of peaceful country living, quality wildlife habitat, and everyday convenience. Situated as the second-to-last home on a dead-end road, traffic is virtually nonexistent, allowing you to enjoy the quiet setting and natural surroundings while remaining less than 20 minutes from shopping, dining, schools, and other amenities.
Built in 1976, the home offers approximately four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a full walkout basement, providing ample space for a full-time residence, hunting retreat, or weekend getaway. The main level features a spacious living room and family room that create an open and comfortable gathering space. The large kitchen provides plenty of room for meal preparation and entertaining. Two bedrooms and a shared full bathroom complete the main level. Step outside onto the oversized deck where you can relax, entertain guests, or simply enjoy peaceful views overlooking the front yard and surrounding countryside.
The walkout basement expands the home's functionality with two additional bedrooms and a shared bathroom. A large open area provides excellent potential for a recreation room, media room, or additional gathering space. The basement also includes a mechanical room, a dedicated wood room equipped with a wood-burning furnace capable of heating the home, and an additional room well suited for a home office, hobby room, or craft space. The home also features a fireplace on the main level, baseboard heating, and a window air conditioning unit in the living room. Rural water service is provided through Clear Water Rural Water, while an older well also remains on the property.
Outside, a 24-foot by 32-foot detached two-car garage with a concrete floor provides excellent storage for vehicles, ATVs, equipment, or workshop space.
The land surrounding the home is what truly sets this property apart. Rolling terrain covered with mature hardwoods including oak, walnut, hickory, and a variety of other hardwood and softwood species creates outstanding wildlife habitat and beautiful scenery throughout the seasons. Thick bedding cover is complemented by scattered open areas, making this property especially attractive for whitetail deer and wild turkey. The current owners regularly observe both deer and turkeys feeding in the yard, offering excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing as well as hunting.
A small pond located just north of the home provides a dependable water source for wildlife while adding to the property's scenic appeal. Lost Creek flows through the southeastern corner of the property, and an additional drainage traverses the western portion, creating natural travel corridors that further enhance the property's hunting potential.
Hunters will appreciate the property's excellent habitat improvements already in place as well as the opportunity to develop additional food sources. An approximately one-acre overgrown opening adjacent to the pond could easily be converted into a productive wildlife food plot. In addition, the existing gas line and power line rights-of-way offer ideal locations for strategically placed kill plots or additional habitat improvements that could further increase wildlife activity.
Whether your goal is establishing a permanent country residence, owning a private hunting property, or investing in a recreational tract with excellent habitat and comfortable living accommodations, this property checks all the boxes. The combination of a spacious home, mature timber, multiple water sources, outstanding wildlife habitat, and a quiet dead-end location creates an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find in today's market.
