Land

Resting in the quiet hills of Laurel County, this 58-acre recreational retreat offers the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and accessibility. Located just minutes from both East Bernstadt and London, Kentucky, and a short drive from Interstate 75, this property feels worlds away from the rush of everyday life while remaining close to modern conveniences. Whether you're looking for a private hunting getaway, a future home site, or a long-term investment in Kentucky's scenic countryside, this tract checks every box.

The land is a rare mix of old-growth cutover and hardwood regeneration, forming a diverse landscape that attracts wildlife and provides endless opportunities for exploration. Rolling ridges and gentle hollows weave through the property, creating a natural rhythm of elevation changes that reveal new perspectives at every turn. These timbered ridges and valleys have a story to tell - one of untouched natural processes, deep-rooted growth, and Kentucky heritage.

Scattered throughout the tract are seasonal and natural runoff creeks that meander gently through the terrain. In wetter months, the soft murmur of running water adds an extra layer of serenity to the property, while the subtle trickles that remain through summer serve as wildlife magnets. Deer trails and turkey tracks mark the soft earth around these creeks, telling the story of a property rich in game and ecological balance.

The combination of old-growth cutover and young timber also creates a vibrant mosaic of habitat. Mature hardwood stands offer mast production and cover, while younger growth provides ideal bedding and browse areas for whitetails and other wildlife. For hunters, land stewards, or anyone who appreciates thriving ecosystems, this mix of timber stages is invaluable

Recreation

Recreation, Hunting, and the Great Outdoors

If your vision of a perfect weekend involves dawn breaking over a misty ridge, the distant gobble of a wild turkey, and the rustle of deer moving through hardwood leaves, you'll feel right at home here. This property offers exceptional deer and turkey hunting thanks to the combination of habitat diversity, natural food sources, and low pressure.

And when you're not hunting, the property doubles as a personal outdoor playground. Trail riding, hiking, camping, and creekside relaxation all come naturally here. It's the kind of place where weekends stretch into long afternoons, and the only deadlines are the ones you set for yourself.
