This 252± acre farm sits on Prewitt Pike, just 1.5 miles from Mt. Sterling in Montgomery County, Kentucky. It combines a large block of productive cropland with strong water resources, perimeter fencing, and solid infrastructure, all in a location that keeps town, services, and Lexington within easy reach. Working farms of this size, this close to town, are rarely available in central Kentucky.

The centerpiece of the property is approximately 157± acres of tillable ground. The fields have historically been rotated between corn and soybeans, and the owner has farmed the ground himself for years. This season, the tillable acreage was leased to a local farmer on a one-year lease and is currently in soybeans, nearing harvest. A new owner will have the flexibility to farm the ground themselves, enter into a new lease for annual income, or adjust the operation to suit their own goals.

Water is one of the farm’s greatest assets. Approximately 0.40± miles of Somerset Creek runs through the property, along with roughly 0.35± miles of a spring-fed stream through the middle of the farm. Two ponds add to the supply: a 1/4-acre pond in one of the drainages and a 1.25-acre pond near the top of the farm along the edge of the crop field. Combined with the farm’s full perimeter fencing, these water sources give the property strong potential for livestock in addition to row crops.

The infrastructure is in place to support a working operation. A 500-foot private gravel road runs from Prewitt Pike to a gated entrance, and more than 1,300 feet of interior gravel road provides access into the farm for trucks and equipment. A 90x50 barn, currently used for drying tobacco, offers plenty of room for equipment, hay, or other storage. Electric service is already on the property, and water is available nearby.

The non-tillable acreage consists of timber- and brush-covered drainages leading to a creek bottom at the back of the farm. An old farmhouse and silo sit within the brush. While neither is functional, they reflect the long agricultural history of this land.

For anyone wanting to build, the farm offers nearly unlimited building sites with beautiful views across the property, making it a strong fit for a home or farm headquarters on a productive tract.

The property also offers excellent recreational value. The mix of crop fields, wooded drainages, and water holds abundant deer and turkey, making it an outstanding hunting farm as well as a working farm.

With its large tillable base, year-round water, full fencing, gated access, barn, electric service, and close proximity to Mt. Sterling and Lexington, this Montgomery County farm is a rare opportunity for row crop producers, cattle operators, land investors, or anyone seeking a productive and versatile central Kentucky farm.
