Located near Buckhorn Lake State Resort Park in Eastern Kentucky, this 308-acre reclaimed strip-mine property offers a large block of recreational land in one of the region’s most outdoor-focused areas. With ponds, active wildlife, and extensive public land nearby, the tract gives a buyer a wide range of options for hunting, recreation, and long-term land use. Reclaimed mine land is common across the coalfields of Eastern Kentucky. These properties often have more open, workable ground than the steep, wooded hollows typical of the region. Much of this property is currently overgrown with autumn olive, a shrub that commonly takes hold on reclaimed ground. The autumn olive can be cleared to open up the land and expose wide stretches of usable acreage. A new owner could shape the property around their own goals, whether that means food plots, open fields, trails, or simply cleaner ground for getting around. Wildlife and Hunting: The property supports whitetail deer, wild turkey, and a variety of other wildlife. The mix of reclaimed openings, brushy cover, and on-site water provides food, cover, and water in one place. Autumn olive produces berries that wildlife feed on in late summer and fall, so a buyer may choose to clear selectively and leave some cover standing. For hunters, the size of the tract allows room to spread out stands and blinds and to plan access around wind and travel routes. Water Ponds on the property provide a water source for wildlife and add recreational value. Depending on their size and condition, they may offer fishing potential or a good location for a blind. Energy and Utilities: Reclaimed mine land is often considered for solar projects, and this tract may offer good potential for solar development. Electric service may be available, but it would require an extended line run to reach the property. Buyers are encouraged to verify utility availability and costs, as well as solar feasibility, with local providers. Location and Nearby Recreation: Buckhorn Lake State Resort Park is close by, with its lodge, marina, campground, hiking trails, and elk-viewing tours. Buckhorn Lake covers roughly 1,200 acres on the Middle Fork of the Kentucky River and is well known for its muskie fishing. The area also has a large amount of public land, including the Buckhorn Lake Wildlife Management Area and portions of the Daniel Boone National Forest. That gives an owner even more room to hunt, hike, and explore beyond the property lines. The towns of Buckhorn, Hyden, Jackson, Booneville, and Hazard are all within driving distance of supplies, dining, and services, with Hazard serving as the regional hub. For a buyer looking for a large recreational tract in Eastern Kentucky with water, wildlife, and room to put in their own work, this 308-acre property is worth a closer look.
