Zeke Branch Road Lot# WP001 Booneville, KY 41314
Description
Located just east of Booneville in Owsley County, Kentucky, this 171± acre mountain property offers a combination of forested acreage, stream features, road frontage, future timber resources, and recreational opportunities. Situated along Zeke Branch Road just north of KY 30, the property provides convenient access while maintaining the character of a large Appalachian mountain tract. The landscape features diverse topography, including broad hillsides, natural benches, ridgelines, valleys, and elevated crests with exposed rock features. These terrain variations create numerous locations that may be suitable for future cabins, campsites, or recreational improvements, subject to buyer verification and applicable regulations. Several elevated portions of the property provide views of the surrounding mountain landscape. The timber resource includes a natural mix of hardwood species commonly found throughout eastern Kentucky. Young oak and hickory stands dominate upper slopes and ridge tops, while lower elevations and valley bottoms contain red maple, yellow poplar, and American beech. The property's diverse timber composition contributes to wildlife habitat and may offer future timber management opportunities. Buyers should conduct their own timber evaluation regarding species, volume, and potential value. Abundant new forest growth throughout the valleys and lower elevations provides cover and browse for wildlife. The combination of timber stands, regeneration areas, benches, ridges, and stream corridors creates habitat utilized by white-tailed deer, wild turkey, black bear, and other native wildlife species. Recreational uses may include hunting, wildlife observation, hiking, camping, horseback riding, ATV and UTV riding, and exploring the property's natural features. Water is a notable feature of the tract. Approximately 4,200 feet of mapped blue-line stream flows within the boundaries along the western portion of the property. In comparison, approximately 1,500 feet of intermittent stream originates at higher elevations and flows southwest through the eastern valley. These water features add diversity to the landscape and contribute to wildlife habitat throughout the property. Access is one of the property's strengths. More than one mile of county-maintained gravel road frontage extends along the western boundary, providing multiple potential entry points. Existing roads and trails traverse portions of the property and, with maintenance and improvement, may enhance access to various areas of the tract. The extensive road frontage offers flexibility when planning recreational use and property access. Electric service is available near the southern boundary, providing potential utility access for future improvements. Buyers should independently verify utility availability, connection requirements, and associated costs. Whether your interests include hunting, timber management, outdoor recreation, camping, trail riding, or owning a large tract of mountain land in eastern Kentucky, this 171± acre property offers a combination of natural resources, access, and recreational potential. The mix of hardwood timber, stream corridors, road frontage, wildlife habitat, and proximity to Booneville creates an opportunity to own a sizeable tract in the Appalachian region of Kentucky.
