Land Description
Cheap Hunting & Residential Land in Harlan County, Kentucky.
Hunting properties that border government forest land are highly sought-after across America, and very few of those properties also have power, water, and paved access available. This one of those very few. After this land was granted as an award for meritorious service during the Civil War, it stayed in that family until just recently, so it's safe to say that this property is hitting the open market for the first time in history. Hunting land that checks all the boxes like this one - borders gov't forest, paved access, utilities, river proximity - sells extremely fast. Don't miss out.
No Restrictions
Priced about 50% below market
Very Low Taxes (only in 2020)
Power & Water Available
Paved Access
Right across Highway from Poor Fork Cumberland River
Borders Kentenia State Forest
PROPERTY: This wooded, mountainous, and “L” shaped 52 acre parcel offers something special for a premium hunting tract - over 200 feet of paved road frontage, which is provided by Highway 522. The property is undeveloped but a dirt driveway has been carved into the lot in switchback-style from the road. Bordering the north property lines is the Kentenia State Forest, a tax-exempt government space rich in deer and wildlife. It's not just for hunting and recreation though - you can live here too, since power and water run along the road frontage. Live here however you want, in fact, because there are no restrictions. You may want to build close to the road like the neighbors have done, or even up on one of the ridges above in order to take advantage of breathtaking views of the Poor Fork Cumberland River valley below. The river is less than 500 feet from the property line, across the highway, and is a quality source of bass and catfish. “Own a mountain, fish a stream, live the dream.” The city of Harlan is just 10 minutes down the road and offers an excellent mix of stores, restaurants, and services, including a Walmart.
