24.34 Acres in Kyrock, KY - $79,999
Once a bustling mining community, the entire history of Kyrock Kentucky revolves around this home, the family that built it and the land it was built upon. The Carmichael family built this home around 1935, just about the time asphalt from the mines on a portion of their property was being used to pave the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the first time. That same asphalt was shipped all over the world to pave roads and highways as the Great Depression was in full force. I’m certain this new home was the talk of the town at the local company store. With about 3200 sf under roof and on one floor, it’s a substantial building to say the least. Most of the home is still original, the hard wood floors are beautifully preserved, the large windows, huge interior doors and woodwork are all there ready for someone to revive this once show piece of a home. Complete with a huge attic space and large...

Most of the home is still original, the hard wood floors are beautifully preserved, the large windows, huge interior doors and woodwork are all there ready for someone to revive this once show piece of a home. Complete with a huge attic space and large unfinished basement, there is enough space to fill just about any families need. Outside is a rock garden filled with stones the family collected during their world travels. A large stone fireplace, from a home long gone, remains as the centerpiece in the front yard. This home needs work, but it is in excellent shape considering the age. The land surrounding the home was selectively timbered last year but there are plenty of trees and natural beauty remaining. There are 2 additional road frontage tracts that can be purchased with this property making for a total of about 27 acres. There is also an additional 113+/- acres that adjoins that is also available. Call me today to view this breathtaking property!
