Description
PRICE REDUCED! It is rare that one can say they have actually owned a piece of history in one’s life, but Blue Wing Landing coming to the public market offers you just that opportunity. Not only is this one of the top recreational farms I have seen in my 10 years of serving Central Kentucky for Whitetail Properties, it’s also steeped in history. John Brown, one of Kentucky’s first two U.S. senators, purchased this property in the late 1700’s through the Virginia Land Company before Kentucky was even a state, and his son Mason Brown later built the main home at Blue Wing Landing in 1850. Lovingly renovated, this 3,000 square foot Gothic Revival home retains its original features -- woodwork, floors, stately rooms, high ceilings – but is updated with modern conveniences.
This is truly one of the most unique properties the region has to offer, including seclusion beyond compare, yet just a short drive from downtown Owenton. To access the property, you drive through a Wildlife Management Area that offers public hunting, but no motorized vehicles except those visiting Blue Wing Landing are allowed entry. Once through the WMA gate, you will travel a well-maintained gravel road to the main entrance of Blue Wing Landing, where you enter your own 247 secluded private acres, which is bounded to the south and east by approximately 1.5 miles of the Kentucky River!
This farm simply has something to offer to any and all who visit. The Kentucky River bottoms draw in trophy-class whitetails and turkey. The six-acre stocked fishing pond, and the Kentucky River offer abundant opportunities for fishing or boating. The property has miles of established trails -- great for hiking and accessing the various parts of this dynamic property. The farm boasts approximately 57 acres of open river bottom ground suitable for row crops, food plots, hay production, or a cattle operation. The remaining 190 acres is a mix of marketable timber and scrubby cover, which is ideal for wildlife habitat. Additionally, Blue Wing Landing has recently been offered as a short-term rental, creating a ROI for the current owner.
This is your chance to own a piece of history and an incredible Kentucky gem! Call agent Jason Wallin today to set up your private showing.
