About 165a Open Fork Road
165± Acres Adjoining U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Land at Grayson Lake Discover approximately 165 acres of Eastern Kentucky wilderness in the scenic Gimlet Creek area of Carter County. This exceptional recreational tract features frontage along Gimlet Creek Road and directly adjoins U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land surrounding Grayson Lake, creating outstanding privacy, expanded wildlife habitat, and the feel of owning significantly more acreage than the deeded boundaries alone. A newly improved gravel entrance with gated access welcomes you onto the property, while recently established trail systems provide access throughout much of the tract by ATV, UTV, horseback, or on foot. Several food plot locations have already been established, allowing hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to immediately enjoy the property's recreational potential. Predominantly wooded, the tract offers a diverse landscape of rolling ridges, deep hollows, seasonal drainages, natural benches, and elevations ranging from approximately 660 feet to nearly 1,000 feet. The varied topography creates excellent habitat for deer, turkey, and other native wildlife while providing numerous opportunities for hunting, hiking, camping, and exploration. Topographic features throughout the property include ridge tops, saddles, draws, and natural travel corridors that experienced hunters recognize as prime wildlife movement areas. The adjoining Corps of Engineers property further enhances hunting opportunities by providing a substantial undeveloped buffer and additional surrounding habitat. Located near Grayson Lake and within reasonable driving distance of Cave Run Lake, Interstate 64, Morehead, Olive Hill, and Grayson, this property combines seclusion with accessibility. Whether you're seeking a private hunting retreat, recreational getaway, long-term investment, or family property to enjoy for generations, this tract offers a rare combination of size, access, location, and recreational appeal.
