Ranch With Unique Home And Ultimate Privacy For Sale in Bradfordsville, Kentucky USA

Unique, Private, Secure Scantuary Surrounded By Waterfalls

Asking Price: $1,295,000 USD

Hidden Hollow Preserve … the personification of privacy and security. The ranch offers over 177 acres of lush, secure privacy, vast hardwood timber reserves, and Cedar Keep, one of the most unique private homes in the State of Kentucky.

Nestled in mature hardwoods, perched on a red sandstone outcropping and surrounded on three sides by flowing streams and waterfalls, the house is clad entirely in western red cedar. Aptly named Cedar Keep, the house features a spectacular two story high 18’ x 18’ octagon living room and a 16’ x 22’ vaulted ceiling library, connected by two magnificent back-to-back, wood burning, natural field stone fireplaces.

The 3,600 sq. ft. house is surrounded by an additional 1,000 sq. ft. wrap around porch, overlooking the pristine beauty enveloping the site. During summer months, the porch is home to scores of Ruby Throated Hummingbirds that dazzle and entertain family and visitors alike.

The largest private water garden in the State of Kentucky graces the back yard, home to many varieties of both hardy and tropical water lilies along with lotus, water hyacinth and countless gold fish. Containing over 70,000 gallons of water that free flow into the pool from the stream alongside, the pool also provides a ready water reserve for fire protection.

In addition to the extraordinary water garden, the yard and grounds around the house sport numerous flower gardens, perenial bushes and flowering trees.

Beauty and practicality meet as the home features heavily insulated 6” thick walls, Marvin double pane windows and doors, a 50 year guaranteed cedar shake roof with seamless gutters, geo-thermal heating and air conditioning, a central vacuum system, built-in oak bookcases, oak trim and solid oak interior doors and oak hardwood or ceramic floors throughout the entire home.

The ranch offers a total of 177.46 surveyed acres measuring over half a mile deep and 6/10 mile across, with 127 acres of mature hardwoods and 50 acres of cleared pastures for horses or livestock, miles and miles of hiking or horse riding trails, 4 miles of high tensile fencing and an extensive orchard containg several varieties of plum, cherry, peach, nectarine, pear and apple trees. There is approximately $150,000 worth of mature hardwood timber currently on the 177 acre property.

To accommodate your horses or livestock, there is a large corral with livestock handling equipment, a 60 x 72 foot, 12 stall KY Steel Truss Barn, two paddocks, a 50 x 100 foot outdoor arena, a 36 x 48 foot waste disposal building with an attached 12 x 50 foot shelter, a large tobacco barn, several outbuildings and unparalleled views, privacy and security. Both paddocks and the main pasture contain automatic, heated Freedom Fountain water tanks.

There is also a separate, completely furnished, 1,200 sq. ft. manager’s home, located between the main house and barn, containing two 12' x 12' bedrooms, a 12' x 24' living room, a 12' x 24' loft for sleeping or storage, a 12' x 12' kitchen, and a 12' x 12' bath and utility room, not to mention both front and back porches.

Although all improvements (houses, barns, pastures and paddocks) are hooked up to city water, there is a rare sweet water spring on the property with perhaps the best spring water available in the state. The spring was one of half a dozen in the State of Kentucky that was moderated and tested periodically for a period of two years by the University of Kentucky. It never ran dry, even in periods of drought, and it always tested pure.

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

NOTE:

There are an additional 711.54 acres of contiguous timber land and pasture available to the enterprising individual who would like to protect their privacy and security further by purchasing the entire 3+ mile deep box canyon.

SEE VIVIUN AD NUMBER AD-125466 for additional information regarding this unique additional property.

This additional 711.54 acres contains approximately $500,000 worth of mature hardwood timber and it is available separately for $1,295,000

A single purchaser can purchase the entire private, secure, box canyon of 889 acres, with Cedar Keep and all improvements for only $2,500,000
