Description

Welcome to this phenomenal Appalachian Mountain oasis nestled in the heart of Johnson County, near the quaint community of Flatgap. This remarkable property presents a captivating blend of history and modern comfort, where the past seamlessly merges with the present. Once the site of a historic old schoolhouse, this sprawling estate has been lovingly transformed into a magnificent 3200+ square feet rustic retreat-style home, offering an idyllic haven for both serene getaways and vibrant family gatherings. You can almost hear the sounds of years past of school kids being taught, see their walking paths and hear the ringing of the schoolhouse bell. Upon entering through the custom stone pillar gate entrance off of KY 1624, you'll be greeted by a landscape that exudes tranquility and meticulous care and serenity. The home boasts over 1000 square feet of expansive back deck space, providing an inviting setting to relish the beauty of the surrounding natural panorama as well as space to entertain a large crowd. With two fireplaces gracing the interior, cozy evenings by the crackling fire are a hallmark of this haven on a fall evening or winters day. A true haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking respite, the property features two well-stocked fishing ponds that beckon anglers and provide a serene backdrop for reflection. The melody of quiet blue line streams, stretching nearly a mile, weaving through the landscape, enhancing the calmness and solitude of the environment. Majestic rock cliffs and geological features add a splash of drama and adventure in the lower elevations, creating an awe-inspiring landscape that invites exploration. Surrounded by vast open farm meadows, this property offers endless possibilities for leisure, recreation and potentially even farming. With over 1/2 mile of state highway road frontage, access is seamless and simple, making your retreat easily reachable yet maintaining an air of seclusion from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. For the outdoor enthusiast, the property's excellent deer and turkey hunting opportunities make it a sportsman's paradise. The expansive land, meadows, and natural features provide an ideal habitat for wildlife, allowing for both observation and hunting pursuits with plenty of space and opportunity for wildlife habitat projects. This property is more than a home; it's a legacy, a testament to the harmonious blending of history, nature, and modern comfort. Quite possibly one of the most versatile properties you will ever come across. Whether you're considering it as a private family retreat, an everyday home, or envision transforming it into an inviting Airbnb destination, the potential is boundless.
