Ranch Land, Your Very Own Private Box Canyon For Sale in Bradfordsville, Kentucky USA

The Ultimate Unique, Private, Secure Retreat

Asking Price: $1,295,000 USD

Hidden Hollow Preserve is the personification of privacy and security. The ranch offers over 711 acres of lush, secure privacy, beautiful hardwood hills containing vast hardwood timber reserves and gorgeous rolling green pastures. The property contains the headwaters of Rush Branch Creek and is a box canyon controlling the land all the way around the rim so that the watershed starts on the property and the land cannot be polluted. One way in and one way out access guarantees privacy and security. There are only two other families living on the three mile long road leading in to the property and the nearest one lives a mile down the road.

There are approximately 659 acres of hardwood covered hills containing approximately $500,000 in mature hardwood timber. In addition, there are approximately 52 acres of beautiful rolling pasture, three ponds, multiple streams and a perfect place to construct a 3 acre lake. The property is 2.65 miles deep along the ridge road and over 1.25 miles across at its widest point. The northern border is the defined topographical dividing ridge in the State of Kentucky along which is a ridge-top road constructed by the Forestry Department in the early 1900s for access in case of fire. Rain striking the north side of the ridge road flows north to the Ohio River while rain striking the south side of the road, only 20 feet away, flows south to the Tennessee River.

Although the dividing ridge is only 1300 feet in elevation, it often acts as a weather barrier, protecting the property from colder weather in winter months while capturing moisture from southerly winds in times of heat and drought. As a case in point, while the worst ice storm in the state’s history, February 2009, devastated the state just north and west of the property (folks were without power for 2 weeks, whole forests were shattered, no water or telephone service), Hidden Hollow Preserve lost only a half dozen small tree branches and power to the area was only lost briefly on the first day of the storm. Further, the mega hail storm of 2000 destroyed every roof and vehicle caught outside in Marion County but never dented a single shingle at Hidden Hollow Preserve. Due to the unique topography, the land is essentially protected from tornadoes, hurricanes or other catastrophic natural weather events.

Trophy white tail deer, Eastern Wild Turkey, red fox, bobcat, coyote, squirrel, white tailed rabbit, wood duck, Bald Eagle, Golden Eagle, red tailed hawk, and many other species abound on the property. A mated pair of Eastern Red Wolves has been seen on the property, a claim supported by multiple sightings by several individuals.

The ranch is less than 90 minutes drive from Lexington or Louisville, within 3 hours of Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Knoxville or Nashville and within 30 minutes of 3 local airports with 5,000 ft runways.

The 711.54 acre property was professionally appraised in 2008 for $1,423,000. The appraised value reflects the average price paid for “knob-land” in the area in a depressed market. It does not take into account the value of the timber on the property nor the extraordinarily unique location and privacy features that define it as perhaps the most unique property in Kentucky.

Nonetheless, the owner is motivated and has priced the property at a firm bargain price of only $1,295,000 … 10 % below the appraised value.

ALSO AVAILABLE: There is a contiguous property owned by the same individual that contains 177.46 acres and Cedar Keep, perhaps the most unique home in the State of Kentucky. In addition to Cedar Keep, the property also contains a separate 3 bedroom Manager’s home, a Kentucky Steel Truss barn, corrals, paddocks, arenas, a waste treatment building, horse run-in shelters, a tobacco barn and miles of high tensile steel fencing.

SEE VIVIUN AD NUMBER AD-125714 to learn more about this contiguous property which is available at $1,295,000.

The combined property, consisting of 889 acres and all improvements is available for $2,500,000
