Description
Located in western Breathitt County near the Turkey community, this 59-acre tract offers a wooded mountain setting for hunting, recreation, and long-term land ownership in Eastern Kentucky. The property is reached via a 60-foot-wide easement, providing a defined route onto the land, and a third-party estimate indicates a potential carbon credit value of approximately $2,549.40 per year. For buyers looking for hunting land in Kentucky with a standing forest that may qualify for a carbon program, this tract is worth a close look. The terrain is mostly steep, which is typical of the hill country in this part of the state. Based on topographic mapping, elevations on the property range from roughly 880 feet at the lowest point to around 1,300 feet along the upper boundary, representing about a 400-foot elevation change. A central hollow cuts through the middle of the tract, with hillsides and points rising on each side toward the ridge. This mix of hollows, side slopes, and ridgelines creates the kind of layout that whitetails and wild turkeys commonly use for travel, bedding, and cover. It can give a hunter options for setting stands along benches, points, and the ridgeline, depending on wind direction. A rocky branch runs down the hollow, with a shale-and-stone bottom, moss-covered boulders, and small pools of water visible at the time the photos were taken. Rock ledges and outcrops along the drainage add character to the property and make the lower ground an interesting place to explore. Buyers should walk the branch in different seasons to see how it flows throughout the year. The timber is a mix of young trees across much of the acreage, with mature trees on the ridge and larger hardwoods scattered through the property. Younger growth provides cover and browse that deer often rely on, while the bigger trees add diversity to the habitat and contribute to the standing forest considered in the carbon credit estimate. A consulting forester can help a new owner evaluate the stand and plan any future management. Wildlife activity is evident throughout. Deer and turkey sign have been observed up top on the ridge, and the photos show multiple deer scrapes and a shed antler found on the property. Kentucky offers archery, crossbow, muzzleloader, and modern gun seasons for whitetail deer, along with spring and fall turkey seasons. Hunters should check with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources for current season dates, license requirements, and regulations. The carbon credit potential is a notable feature of this tract. A third-party carbon estimate indicates potential carbon credit value of approximately $2,549.40 per year. This figure is an estimate only and is not guaranteed. Actual payments, if any, depend on program eligibility, contract terms, enrollment requirements, and market conditions. Carbon programs can also place limits on timber harvest and other land uses. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence on any carbon credit estimate, consult with carbon program providers or a qualified forester, and should not rely on this estimate alone when making a purchase decision. With 59 acres, the property has room for a variety of uses. It can serve as a private hunting tract, a getaway for hiking and exploring, or a long-term land hold. Buyers interested in a cabin or camp should verify utility availability, easement terms, and any local requirements before making plans. The property sits south of KY 30 in the Turkey area, roughly 8 miles from Jackson, the Breathitt County seat, and about 9 miles from Booneville in neighboring Owsley County. Hazard and Lexington are both within driving distance for supplies, services, and travel.
