Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a revenue-producing retreat in one of Eastern Kentucky's most desirable outdoor destinations. Situated on 12 private, wooded acres in Lee County, KY. This exceptional property has the Sheltowee Trace Trail running through it and is fully surrounded by Daniel Boone National Forest (except for one other 11 acre property that could be purchased as well), offering a level of peace, privacy, and natural quiet that is truly unmatched. The property features two newly constructed short-term rental cabins, showcasing cedar shake siding and classic Appalachian design. Already generating income, the land also offers multiple prime building sites, making it well-suited for future expansion with additional cabins, glamping sites, or eco-lodging concepts. At least one of the built sites has sweeping views of Daniel Boone National Forest that will remain forever unchanged. A scenic creek runs through the property, and a natural spring supplies water to both cabins. Enveloped by protected forestland, the setting provides rare seclusion while still benefiting from steady, year-round tourism driven by hiking, climbing, and outdoor recreation in the nearby Red River Gorge area. With close proximity to the Sheltowee Trace Trail, exceptional potential for trail connectivity, expansion opportunities, and strong demand for nature-based stays, this property offers an attractive combination of immediate cash flow, scalability, and long-term appreciation.
