About 0000 Knox Lillard Road
207 +/- acres in Gallatin County, split by Knox Lillard Road and offered here as a whole. Tract A, approximately 47 +/- acres, sits on the west side of the road, and Tract B, 160 +/- acres, on the east, and the two halves together make a farm that is almost entirely timber: mature stands, diverse species, and younger growth coming behind it, laid across gentle, rolling slopes with multiple creeks running throughout. This is a trophy deer and turkey habitat. Right now the farm is under a hunting lease it is producing, and it is generating income for the owner as it sits. A buyer does not have to wonder whether the deer are here. That lease expires upon closing, so the next owner takes the farm free and clear and hunts it his first season. One thing to be clear about up front: the blinds, feeders, and stands on this farm belong to the current lessee and do not convey with the sale. That is the opportunity rather than a drawback. The next owner inherits proven ground and a blank chalkboard on top of it: acreage, cover, water, topography that a deer can use, and trails already cut throughout the property so a new owner can get on it and see what he has from the first day, with no one else's stand locations to work around and no setups hung for somebody else's wind. The open ground on this farm exists in three places. Approximately 651 yards of power line easement crosses the northern portion, roughly 500 yards on the west side and 150 on the east, creating cleared lanes of the kind that make excellent food plots and travel-corridor management. A 600-yard pipeline easement runs the south end of the east side, doing the same thing on the opposite corner of the farm. And approximately seven acres on the west side was tillable ground, last planted in tobacco about fifteen years ago and now grown into native grasses. That field is either early-successional cover exactly where a deer wants it, or it is seven acres a new owner can turn back over and plant. An abandoned tobacco barn sits near the road on the west side behind a gated entry. It is still standing, but it is leaning and coming apart in places and should be considered a piece of this county's history rather than a usable building. Electricity is on the road on both sides. Beyond that, the farm is timber, and that is the point. Access is unusually good for a tract this private. The property fronts Knox Lillard Road on both sides, and the east half carries 770 yards of I-71 frontage at the Exit 55 interchange, which means visibility and an easy approach from the interstate without a long county-road haul to reach it. Between both tracts, it also holds over 1000 yards of road frontage on Knox Lillard Road. Gallatin County sits on I-71 roughly midway between Cincinnati and Louisville, with Sparta, Warsaw, and Carrollton all close by and the Kentucky Speedway just up the road. Whether the next owner is stepping into a proven trophy hunting property and building it out his own way, looking for acreage to build a home on down the road, or buying timber and topography to hold, 207 contiguous acres in one ownership on a hard-surface road does not come along often in this part of Kentucky. Call today and come walk it.
