Shumaker Road, Lot#WP01 , Beattyville, KY 41311(Lee County)

This is a tremendous opportunity to own a turn-key big buck hunting tract sitting along the fertile ridgetop flats between the Natural Bridge in Slade and Beattyville. This beautiful, hill-top forested hunting property is strategically setup for taking those huge mountain bucks this area is known for. The rolling topography of this farm along with the network of well-groomed roads provides access throughout. This farm has the 3 main ingredients needed to grow huge bucks, (1) excellent habitat, (2) low hunting pressure and (3) good genetics. All this coupled with an unusually high deer density and low hunting pressure, a true rarity in this day and age. It also boasts a healthy turkey population and loads of small game which flourish on the abundant mixture of early secondary growth and mast producing hardwoods. Multiple feeders, mineral licks, stands, and trail cameras are already setup and ready to go, it’s hunt ready! Numerous well-developed food plots, ponds, year-round streams and a newly established apple orchard, linked by the network of trails and roads leading throughout the property. All of this within close proximity of secure bedding cover provides everything mature bucks and a healthy deer herd desire and need to thrive. The wide-range of habitats, natural browse, and abundant edge provides the seasonal variety needed to grow and hold those mature bucks throughout the year. The contours of this land and its many access points help to allow undetected entering/exiting when hunting different wind directions to keep from tipping off that old buck.  This property’s multiple structures and sheds provide safe, dry, storage for any number of uses from equipment storage to even potentially a hunting camp fixer upper to stay in.  Electric is available on the property and county water is only short distance at the road. The hunting potential on this tract is fantastic, but would also make a great property for a retreat home or cabin to just get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If these are the things you are looking for in a beautiful mountain hunting property, and you’d like for your taxidermist to be on speed dial, then give me a call and let’s take the first step to making that dream a reality!
