Diverse Farm With Multiple Lakes And Tradewater River Frontage For Agricultural And Recreational Use In Union County, KY

Sullivan Road, Lot#WP002 Sturgis, KY 42459

Description

This property offers a diverse landscape that blends open agricultural ground, wooded cover, and extensive water features into a single tract suited for a wide range of uses. Tucked off a low traffic road, the farm provides a quiet rural setting while maintaining functional access. The combination of land types creates flexibility for agricultural production, recreational use, and potential future improvements. A standout feature of this property is the presence of multiple lakes distributed across the farm. These lakes contribute significantly to both recreational appeal and habitat diversity. One lake spans more than 23 acres, providing a substantial body of water that supports fishing, waterfowl use, and seasonal recreation. The remaining lakes complement the overall layout of the property and enhance usability for both wildlife and land management purposes. The lakes also contribute to scenic value and create natural focal points throughout the farm. The property is currently utilized for pasture and hay production, reflecting its suitability for ongoing agricultural use. Open fields are positioned to allow practical equipment access and efficient land management. These areas can continue supporting livestock or hay operations, while also offering flexibility for future land use changes based on buyer objectives. The balance between open ground and timber allows for multiple uses to coexist without compromising the functionality of the farm. Wooded areas are interspersed throughout the property and serve as natural buffers, travel corridors, and seasonal cover for wildlife. Where timber, open ground, and water features intersect, natural edge lines are formed. These transitional areas are commonly used by wildlife and offer multiple locations suitable for hunting setups. The layout of the farm allows for strategic access and use without requiring extensive alteration to the landscape. In addition to the lakes, the property features over one mile of frontage along the Tradewater River. This river frontage enhances both recreational and ecological value. The river serves as a natural boundary in portions of the property and provides opportunities for fishing, wildlife movement, and seasonal outdoor activities. River frontage of this length is a notable feature and contributes to the overall diversity of water resources found on the farm. The combination of lakes and river frontage supports a wide range of wildlife species and recreational pursuits. Together with the varied terrain and habitat types, these water features play a central role in the property’s overall character and usability. They also add long term value by offering natural resources within the boundaries. Several areas across the property may also be suitable for future rural build sites. These locations benefit from separation from public roads, access to open views, and proximity to water and timber. Whether envisioned as a primary residence, weekend retreat, or recreational base, the land offers flexibility while preserving privacy and natural surroundings. In summary, this farm brings together agricultural functionality, recreational opportunity, and natural features in a way that supports a broad range of ownership goals. With productive ground, multiple lakes, extensive river frontage, and a quiet setting, the property offers options for buyers interested in farming, hunting, recreation, or a combination of uses. Its balanced layout and diverse resources make it a versatile tract within the local market.
