Located a short drive southeast of Beattyville, just across the Lee and Breathitt County line, this 117+/- acre recreational property offers a secluded setting with a diverse combination of mountain terrain, timber resources, wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation opportunities. Positioned at the end of a private access route, the property is reached by approximately 0.6 miles of dirt road (Smackum Road) extending from Bryant's Creek Road, providing a sense of privacy while remaining accessible from nearby communities. The landscape consists of rolling mountain topography with a mix of ridges, upper benches, valleys, and hillside terrain. Elevation changes of more than 420 feet across the property create a variety of terrain features and potential use areas. Several ridgelines and benches may be suitable for seasonal camping, recreational use, or future cabin development, subject to buyer verification and any applicable regulations. Many of these locations offer views of the surrounding forested mountains and valleys that characterize this portion of eastern Kentucky. A network of established trails extends throughout much of the property, providing ATV or UTV access to many areas. The trail system also creates opportunities for hiking, wildlife observation, and horseback riding. The ability to access various parts of the property enhances its overall usability for recreational purposes. The property recently underwent a selective timber harvest. While portions of the landscape reflect this activity, a healthy stand of young to mid-sized timber remains throughout the tract. Upper elevations and ridge systems are primarily dominated by oak and hickory species, while lower slopes and valley areas contain red maple, yellow poplar, and American beech. The harvest has opened sections of the forest canopy, allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor and encouraging natural regeneration. This new understory growth contributes to habitat diversity and provides cover and forage commonly used by wildlife in the region. Wildlife habitat is a significant component of the property. The combination of timber, regenerating growth, varied terrain, and water resources creates favorable conditions for a variety of native wildlife species. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, and black bear are commonly found throughout this portion of eastern Kentucky, making the property well-suited for hunting and wildlife observation. Adding to the property's natural features is approximately 1,200 feet of seasonal stream corridor originating on the tract from two different valleys. This seasonal water feature contributes to landscape diversity and provides additional habitat value. The stream corridor, combined with the surrounding forest cover and varied topography, enhances the property's recreational appeal for activities such as hiking, hunting, and exploring the outdoors. Utility infrastructure is limited at the property. Electric service is estimated to be approximately three-quarters of a mile away from the property boundary. Water service is not currently available, and future water needs would typically require a drilled well or alternative water collection system. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding utility availability and development considerations. The property's remote setting and limited infrastructure may appeal to those seeking a more off-grid or semi-remote recreational ownership experience. The location also places owners within reasonable driving distance of several notable outdoor recreation destinations. The area offers convenient access to Buckhorn Lake for boating and fishing, while the Red River Gorge region offers extensive hiking, rock climbing, camping, and sightseeing. These nearby attractions complement the property's recreational offerings and expand the range of outdoor activities available year-round. Whether used as hunting property, a recreational retreat, a seasonal getaway, or a future cabin site, this tract offers a combination of privacy, timber, wildlife habitat, trail access, and mountain scenery. Its diverse terrain, natural features, and proximity to regional recreation destinations create a versatile property with multiple potential uses for outdoor enthusiasts seeking land ownership in eastern Kentucky.
