Beautiful Estill/Powell County Recreational Hunting Land

This large tract of land is located just minutes from Clay City and the Mountain Parkway, providing convenient access while maintaining a private rural setting. The property is accessed by a single gated entrance from Jackson Chapel Road or by a 1+ mile stretch of Frames Branch Road along the east boundary, offering controlled entry points into the interior of the land. The property is encumbered by a permanent conservation easement that limits development and helps preserve the natural landscape. Along the east and west boundaries, there are three designated building sites totaling nearly five acres that are not subject to the same restrictions, allowing for potential cabin or residential construction in those specified areas. Electric, county water, and telephone services are available along the county roads bordering the property on both the east and west sides, providing utilities for these approved locations. The land features a diverse mix of terrain, including rolling open fields, established meadows, hardwood forests, brush, and areas of secondary growth. One blue line stream and several seasonal streams originate on the property and flow toward the Red River, contributing to the natural drainage and habitat diversity across the tract. The combination of open ground and timber creates a varied landscape that supports a wide range of wildlife species. The property offers opportunities for hunting and other recreational activities, including hiking, wildlife observation, and outdoor exploration. The mix of habitat types, including edge cover, timber, and natural forage areas, supports wildlife activity across the property. Open meadows and natural growth areas provide forage, while wooded sections offer cover and travel corridors. The property's layout provides multiple access points to different sections of the land from the main entrance. The size and configuration of the tract provide separation between the designated building areas and the more remote portions of the property, which may be suited for recreational use. Located within approximately one hour of Lexington, this property offers a balance of accessibility and seclusion. Its proximity to the Red River Gorge region adds additional recreational opportunities in the surrounding area. This tract offers an opportunity to own a sizable parcel of land with conservation protections in place, along with limited designated building areas. Buyers should review the conservation easement details to understand permitted and restricted uses.
