Description
Here’s a tremendous opportunity to own a beautiful mountain hunting property on the doorstep of Buckhorn Lake State Park, bordering the Daniel Boone National Forest! Situated in the heart of Kentucky’s prime Elk Zone—home to some of the state’s biggest bulls—this land provides the ideal habitat for the ever-growing elk population that so many seek in eastern Kentucky. Along the ridgetops, you’ll find some of the most breathtaking terrain and expansive views anywhere east of the Mississippi River, with the kind of solitude that makes a true getaway possible. Tucked deep into a remote mountain setting, this gorgeous recreational tract is the kind of place where wildlife of all types flourish—elk, mature mountain bucks, eastern wild turkeys, black bear, and even the occasional fox or coyote. With over 1 mile of common boundary with the Daniel Boone National Forest along the southern edge, you’ll have even more room to roam and hunt. A major watershed runs through the property, with a beautiful blue-lined stream flowing southward across the National Forest and ultimately feeding into Buckhorn Lake, less than a mile away. The land is a healthy mix of regenerating oak/hickory hardwoods, soft mast-producing maples and poplars along the lower slopes, and open reclaimed strip mine fields with intermittent wildlife watering holes scattered throughout. Lush undergrowth provides excellent cover and natural forage, supporting the thriving local wildlife populations. A well-positioned network of old roads winds through much of the property, offering excellent access for ATV, horseback, or hiking. The heavily textured topography features countless potential off-grid cabin sites with panoramic views—perfect for a weekend getaway in the mountains to hunt, camp, hike, or explore. Elevation across the property runs from about 900’ in the valley to just over 1,600’ at the highest points, giving you diverse scenery and seclusion. This is the kind of place where you and your family or friends can truly spread out—plenty of room to hunt, relax, and enjoy the mountains without ever crossing paths. If you’re searching for a big-woods hunting property with unlimited potential for relaxation and adventure, call me. Let’s see if this beautiful mountain tract is the one you’ve been waiting for.
