Description

Located in Lee County, Kentucky, this 200 +/- acre tract offers an appealing combination of mature hardwood timber, beautiful flowing creek frontage, extensive trail systems, and excellent hunting and recreational opportunities. With over 2,400 feet of frontage along KY 399 and an established gated entrance, the property provides convenient access to a large, predominantly wooded tract with diverse terrain and natural features. Approximately 2,100 feet of Duck Fork Creek flows from east to west through the northern portion of the property, creating an attractive natural feature and providing a year-round water source for wildlife. The terrain ranges from approximately 680 feet in elevation along the creek bottoms to over 1,000 feet along the upper ridges and plateaus, offering a mixture of wooded slopes, broad ridge lines, natural drainages, and more level areas suitable for a variety of recreational and potential residential uses. Much of the property consists of mature hardwood timber, with several areas containing above-average timber quality and potential merchantable timber value. Portions of the property along the existing electric transmission line feature stands of younger to moderately sized pines, reflecting the property's history of coal mining activity many years ago. An extensive and well-established trail system provides access throughout much of the acreage, making it convenient to explore the property by ATV or UTV, access hunting locations, and manage the land for wildlife. The transmission line right-of-way creates additional opportunities for wildlife habitat management, with several areas suitable for establishing or maintaining food plots. The combination of mature hardwood forests, natural travel corridors, wooded ridges, creek bottoms, and open areas along the power line provides diverse habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkey, and the occasional black bear, all of which are found in this area of eastern Kentucky. In addition to its hunting and recreational appeal, the property offers numerous potential locations for a cabin or permanent residence. Several areas near Duck Fork Creek provide opportunities for building in the lower elevations, while the upper ridges and broad plateau areas offer additional possibilities for more elevated building locations with potential long-range views. Electric service is available along the northern boundary, and public water service is located a short distance from the property's northwestern corner, although availability and connection requirements should be verified with the utility providers. The substantial road frontage along KY 399 may also provide flexibility for additional access points or future land use opportunities, subject to applicable regulations and site conditions. The property offers opportunities for hiking, camping, trail riding, and general outdoor recreation, with enough acreage to accommodate multiple recreational activities across different portions of the tract. The combination of substantial creek frontage, mature hardwood timber, existing internal access, varied topography, and abundant wildlife habitat makes this property well suited for buyers seeking a large recreational holding, hunting property, or wooded acreage with potential for future improvements. Located in the hills of Lee County, this tract provides an opportunity to own a sizable piece of eastern Kentucky land with established recreational infrastructure, valuable natural resources, and a variety of potential uses.
