Legacy Ranch 240 +/- Turnkey Acres 20 Minutes North of Stamping Ground Most farms this size make a family choose. Run horses and cattle or hold deer. Buy the ground or buy the improvements. Take the view or take the water. This Owen County legacy ranch never asked that question, because the people who spent the last ten years building it refused to answer. Once you turn off Georgetown Road, the farm starts working on you before you ever see the house. A quarter mile of secluded driveway, black floor-board fence running both sides, old oaks and walnuts closing over the top of it. Then the timber lets go, the ground opens, and the drive climbs to the crown of the hill. 240 acres fall away in every direction, and almost nothing of anyone else's comes into the frame. Water is what makes the rest of it work, and this farm has more of it than most places twice its size. Over two miles of live creek run through the property, including better than three-quarters of a mile of Sawdridge Creek, fed year-round by a natural spring. When late summer turns dry and surrounding farms are hauling water, this ground is still running. Dependable water for livestock and a resource that holds wildlife on the property rather than sending it to the neighbors. Sycamores stand thick through the bottoms where that water goes. The working side is already earning. There are 33 acres of black floor-board and barbed wire paddock with cattle runs adjacent to creek bottoms that head to other pastures, and are ready for a cow-calf herd the week you take the keys. An 80'x40' stable barn with seven stalls handles the livestock side. A 40'x60' cement floor barn/detached garage takes the equipment and the shop work, and behind the house sits a productive garden with a 12'x20' garden shed. Electric, water, septic, and propane are in the ground and in service. Hunting is not just a corner of this farm. It is the whole farm. All 240 acres have been managed for wildlife, and five food plots are already in the ground for the coming season. This includes multiple feeders, blinds, and stands in place. Turkeys litter the entire property and every year strut on the hill that the house overlooks. And for my morel mushroom lovers, over 500 morels were found in 2026 alone. Nearly 200 acres are wooded, and in the last five years only 30 of those acres saw a select cut. What is left is a healthy, mature stand, oaks scattered across the entire property, walnut and conifer through it, and a timber investment that keeps compounding whether the next owner ever runs a saw or not. Habitat that carries mature bucks is not built in a season, it shows up in the age class walking this place right now. The home is over 4,000 square feet with six bedrooms and two baths, with plenty of space for storage. Room enough for extended family, guests, or a full hunting party. The house, the basement, and the 40'x60' barn were all remodeled and finished at the end of 2023. A 22'x20' carport sits behind the house with ample covered parking, and a productive garden runs off the back. Twenty minutes to Owenton, forty-five to Lexington, an hour to Cincinnati, and an hour and fifteen to Louisville. Remote enough to disappear into, close enough to keep a life going. Years of management with no detail overlooked is what separates this farm from everything else on the market at this size. Every post, board, food plot, and habitat decision conveys with it. Whether you are a cattle farmer, a horse farmer, a hunter who has spent years chasing ground like this, or someone simply looking for a quiet place to call home, this is a legacy built to last lifetimes. A place like this comes together once, and it sells once. Call today and come walk it.
