Recreational Land for Sale in Cumberland, Kentucky
Highway 522, Cumberland, KY 40823
Located in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky within Kentucky's Elk Management Zone, this 138.40 +/- acre tract in Harlan County offers a strong combination of privacy, huntabilty, and long-term recreational value.
This region is known for elk activity and sits within the core of Kentucky's elk restoration range, adding unique wildlife and hunting appeal to the property.
Access is provided by a gated, deeded right-of-way, creating seclusion while allowing entry without disrupting the huntability, natural wildlife movement, and habitat.
The property is bordered by the E. Lucy Braun State Nature Preserve to the North, which encompasses over 600 acres and provides a significant natural buffer. The landscape consists of mixed timber, rock overhangs, and elevated terrain with scenic views of the Pine and Black Mountains.
The ridge systems on the property create a natural travel corridor funneling deer and other wildlife movement. This area is notoriously referred to as the "kill box" by the current owner, as several quality bucks (especially for this area) and other wildlife have been captured on trail cameras.
There are a couple feasible cabin locations suitable for an off-grid setup with electricity available nearby. Whether you're looking to establish a hunting basecamp or a quiet retreat in the mountains, the foundation is here.
If you are looking for a sizable hunting or recreational property that provides privacy and natural feautures with room to make it your own, this tract deserves consideration.
