Land with Home for Sale in Willow Shade, Kentucky
1520 Gordon Branch Rd, Willow Shade, KY 42166
Nature Lovers Take Notice Experience truly private and peaceful country living with this remarkable wilderness property located approximately a mile and a half from the nearest public road. Surrounded by nature, the land borders Marrowbone State Forest on two sides, with neighboring properties consisting primarily of large tracts of forest. Your closest neighbor is roughly three-quarters of a mile away, offering exceptional privacy and a constant connection to the natural beauty around you. The property features a spacious yard, a ½-acre garden, a large lowland pasture, two seasonal streams, two undeveloped springs, and numerous pathways and old forest roads that wind throughout the land. Perched on a hilltop with beautiful views in nearly every season, the 1,512 sq. ft. double-wide home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. From the front porch, enjoy breathtaking sunrises and stunning morning views as ribbons of fog drift through the valleys below. In the spring, the landscape comes alive with blooming redbuds, dogwoods, cherry trees, and wildflowers. Close to the home is the ½-acre garden, thoughtfully designed with small water features that attract frogs and dragonflies. The garden area also includes two mature apple trees, thirty-nine established blueberry bushes, and a newly planted black raspberry patch. A nearby shed houses a rainwater catchment system that currently supplies water to the home. Drinking water is presently provided by bottled water, and county water is available at the property boundary for future connection if desired. The approximately 1,800 sq. ft. garage offers excellent workspace and storage with four bays, poured concrete floors, overhead lighting, two powered overhead doors, two tall overhead doors, and a walk-through door. The approx. 4,100 sq. ft. barn, built in the late 1990s and sided with rot-resistant sassafras, includes stalls and a tack room. It is wired for lighting and can be powered by a generator (not included). A fertile 15± acre pasture, bordered along its entire length by Slate Creek, provides productive ground suitable for livestock or agricultural use. This versatile property is ideal for recreation, farming, homesteading, or a private retreat. Wildlife is abundant, with deer, turkey, fox, frogs, turtles, and more commonly seen throughout the property. The land also offers a wide variety of wild berries, herbs, and useful tree species including walnut, hickory, black locust, juniper, pawpaw, and sugar maple
