Description
Spanning approximately 2,000+/- contiguous acres in Knox County, Kentucky, this large acreage property offers a unique combination of recreational opportunity, natural resources, and long-term investment potential. Located southwest of Barbourville and positioned within a federally designated Opportunity Zone, this tract provides a rare chance to acquire a substantial Kentucky landholding with multiple access points from several public roads. The property features a diverse landscape of reclaimed surface-mine acreage, mature timber, brushy cover, open grasslands, numerous ponds, approximately 3 miles of seasonal streams, and approximately 1 mile of mapped blue-line streams. This mixture of terrain and habitat creates a diverse environment for hunting, wildlife management, outdoor recreation, and future land stewardship. The scale and diversity of this property allow a new owner to shape the land around their individual goals. The combination of open ground, timber, water features, and varied habitat types provides opportunities to establish food plots, develop trail systems, manage timber resources, enjoy recreational activities, and explore the many possibilities that come with owning a large contiguous tract. The property's multiple access points provide convenience for navigating the acreage, managing resources, and accessing different portions of the property. Beyond its recreational attributes, this property offers significant investment characteristics. Seller information indicates that valuable coal reserves transfer with the sale, along with partial ownership of oil and gas rights, adding to the natural resource considerations for prospective buyers. The timber component adds another layer of long-term value, with opportunities for responsible forest management and future timber planning. Buyers interested in evaluating timber, mineral, or energy resources should complete their own due diligence regarding ownership, availability, and development considerations. Located in an area known for its rugged Kentucky landscape and abundant outdoor opportunities, this property provides the size and versatility sought by buyers looking for hunting land, recreational property, investment acreage, timberland, and mineral resource opportunities. The combination of reclaimed land, wooded acreage, open fields, streams, ponds, and transferable mineral interests creates a property with many potential uses while maintaining the character and scale of a true large-acreage holding. Properties of this size with multiple access points, significant acreage, diverse habitat, water resources, and natural resource potential are uncommon. Whether the goal is to create a private recreational property, manage wildlife habitat, invest in Kentucky acreage, evaluate timber opportunities, or acquire land with mineral interests, this Knox County property offers a substantial opportunity to own and manage a versatile piece of Kentucky real estate.
