Gritton Gate - Exceptional Whitetail Property + recreational retreat

Tucked away on a quiet dead-end road in Mercer County, Kentucky, Gritton Gate encompasses 296.68 surveyed acres where exceptional wildlife management and seclusion have created a true sanctuary for trophy whitetails and abundant wild turkeys. Currently serving as the flagship property for Central Kentucky Outfitters, the farm has earned a reputation for producing exceptional hunts while creating lasting memories for clients, family, and lifelong friends. Today, Gritton Gate offers an exceptional combination of premier wildlife habitat, comfortable living accommodations, and the infrastructure needed to support year-round recreation and land management. The farm has been carefully managed with a long-term focus on producing mature whitetails, creating a meaningful distinction for sportsmen seeking a premier recreational investment. Since 2014, Gritton Gate has operated exclusively as an archery-only property, significantly reducing hunting pressure while allowing bucks to reach mature age classes. Outfitted clients are held to strict antler size requirements, giving deer the opportunity to achieve their full genetic potential. As a result, mature bucks harvested here can score in the 150- to 170-inch class. Designated sanctuary areas remain completely undisturbed throughout most of the season and are entered only during peak rut conditions under ideal circumstances. This disciplined approach has helped establish an exceptional hunting environment for both whitetails and wild turkeys. Spring mornings are regularly filled with gobbling activity, even on warm or windy days. A spring-fed creek meanders through the front pasture before feeding a scenic pond that provides a reliable year-round water source for wildlife. An exceptionally maintained trail system allows easy side-by-side access across the entire farm, connecting strategically positioned bow stands and making navigation throughout the property both efficient and enjoyable. Gritton Gate is equally well suited as a private residence, weekend retreat, or premier hunting lodge. The primary residence, built in 2002, features a full wraparound porch positioned to take in the peaceful rural surroundings. Supporting improvements include a shop garage, grain silos, a detached two-car garage, and three additional storage buildings that currently support outfitting operations and equipment storage. Whether you are searching for a turnkey hunting property with a proven record of producing mature bucks or a private Kentucky landholding with exceptional recreational appeal, Gritton Gate offers a rare opportunity to own one of Central Kentucky's truly distinguished sporting properties.
