The County / Neighborhood:

Friendly country folk are your neighbors. Having lived in foreign countries and 5 other US States I can tell you that the biggest benefit to this property are your neighbors. They never bother you and a quick to lend and helping hand if you need it.

This is a very rural area and 75% of the year ( because of the leaves on the trees) you can not even see your nearest neighbor who is about ½ a mile away.

This property is ½ hill top and ½ valley.

The surrounding area is predominantly owned by 3 major land holders:

• The Catholic Church ( in Liberty).

• Amish Community / Farmers.

• Mennonite Community / Farmers.

All 3 of the above groups are very community oriented and thus tend to buy as much conjoining land as possible. Community growth and prosperity are key to all three as well. The Catholic Church holdings are land only where as our Amish and Mennonite neighbors live on the land which they farm. We greatly appreciate the tranquil nature of our neighbors as they truly do live in harmony with their surroundings.

These same neighbors supply wonderful locally grown products like: Honey, Meats, Eggs as well as all types of Fruit & Vegetables.

Many also have small businesses that provide essential services like: Landscaping / Nurseries (trees and plants), Greenhouses, Carpentry, Tool Making including Blacksmiths and Knife Sharpening, etc.

The advantage is that all three are 100% focused on agricultural land ownership. Buying 75+ acres of land in this area is very rare. Land is bought and sold for farming and not for development or homes.

In short you own your own view!

The Property is zoned agricultural, but in KY you can use it for just about anything.

There are NO RESTRICTIONS as to how you use or develop the land.

Current Uses:

• Residential

PRIVACY & SECURITY:

This is a key selling point for those who are looking for privacy and security. While KY in general has a very low crime rate compared to the rest of the USA, this is one of the reasons we bought this land.

ADDITIONAL ACREAGE: There is an additional 109 acres available that borders our property. This area has very restricted access as we block all utilities and driving access to it. The asking price is really low due to this access problem. Asking $140,000.00. So if you buy our place and this added acreage the new 109 acres will double in value over night as you control the access.

As you can see these 109 acres has lots of Creek Frontage. It also blocks access to all the land on our side of the valley same as we do. This means that any land you buy beyond this point also will greatly increase in value as you alone control the access to power, city water and road ways. About 75% is nice wooded valley floor, hill side and hill top. There are fantastic views on top as there are on our hill top. The fields are some of the best bottom land in the area!

WESTERN BOUNDARY:

KY State HWY 70 is the property's Western Boundary. There is 1000+ feet of highway frontage that is potentially accessible and another 1800+ feet that is inaccessible. The key thing here is that the highway and the sloping terrain of the hill side denies access / provides privacy.

This same access point has only one road that crosses a small bridge ( over a small creek, but the bank drops 8 to 12 feet ). You own the road and the bridge. The creek runs bisects the front field and runs from the hill side of the HWY to Dry Creek ( the major creek ). By closing the gate at the bridge you deny access to the entire property as well as the rest of the North Eastern portion of the valley (which we do not own).

The thin red line on the map below marked "Private Roads" are your roads. You will see an exit at the far Eastern corner. This road is blocked by a fence and there is no public access on the opposite side as it is blocked by our up stairs Mennonite neighbor's property.

This access restriction is important as there is no easy access to perhaps a 1000 acres of hill side and premium pasture / farm land due to the size of Dry Creek at this point. There are no bridges that span Dry Creek either which limits access to only a few weeks per year. This makes Via San Miguel ( the private road ) the ONLY real access to that part of the valley which is locked in by the creek. Basically making the land in this area ( outlined in ORANGE and labeled "Very Limited Access" in the above map ) far less valuable. Thus making for great potential to expand in the future.

The part of HWY 70 that is not accessible / can NOT be used as an exit as it is on a cliff. This area of the highway is almost completely tree lined. Making for a magical approach to the property as light dapples the road way.

NORTHERN BOUNDARY:

Dry Creek is our Northern boundary. More than a ¼ mile of natural winding water front. Please note that there is nothing dry about Dry Creek. Some maps also mis-label this as Casey Creek. Water constantly flows year round even in the worst drought years. Water depth & width ranges from 15 feet wide and 1 foot deep ( drought ) to 35 feet wide and 7 feet deep after a heavy rain. This make the creek impassable 90% of the time. Creek banks range from 2 feet to 15 feet high and there are many small swimming holes that dot the creek's path. These swimming holes are homes for fish and turtles and make the creek impossible to navigate ( lengthwise ) by foot ( unless you are prepared to swim ) or any vehicle.

EASTERN & SOUTHERN BOUNDARIES:

The Eastern boundary is half valley floor and half steep hill side. The lower Eastern edge of the property is the only real access to the rest of the valley by use of Via San Miguel.

The Southern edge is steep hill side. We own the side of the hills as well as the top. So no one can build or over look the property. There are many nice views of the valley from the top of the hill.

KY Farm # 956 Farm Agency 606-787-6581

As we mentioned above, the property could be easily sub-divided to maximize your investment. Personally, I like large lots of land and the privacy that brings. Ideal if you had multiple family members or just wanted a smaller piece of property yet, wishing to control your view & neighborhood. The property could easily be divided into 4 mini farms / 4 nice size lots for those who want to own horses and have a beautiful and diverse area to ride. You could own and manage your own riding community.

The Top of the Hill:

Click photo to enlarge image.

There is a field at the top of the hill which is about 15 + or - acres. Incredible views of the surrounding country side. Include a 7 acre perimeter of trees on the hill side to insure privacy for future generations. Ideal for several home sites with views and privacy. Best place on the property to see the sun set.

The Shop / Eastern Area:

This is where our shop is currently located. 35 + or - acres of pasture and bottom land with another 23 + or - acres of hill side / hollows. Access to creek and a great area to build another big pond just below the shop. Plenty of room to erect more buildings or expand.

This is the area that has access to the rest of the valley as this is where Via San Miguel ends.

The entire property has access to Electrical Power, Natural Water Ways, City / County Water and Telephone.

The Creek & Pond Areas:

There are lots of beautiful tree lined areas of the creek for picnics or home sites. The large pond is stocked with catfish, blue gill, bass and crappy. Makes for a great day of fishing & swimming with the kids or just playing stick with the dogs.
