736 Acres in Stoney Fork, KY - $350,000
736 ACRES OF PRIME HUNTING LAND
736 acres about 20 minutes east of Pineville, KY, and 2 miles north of Stoney Fork, KY. This parcel is in the area where Bell, Harlan, and Leslie counties join up and is not for the faint of heart. It is remote, rugged, steep, and breathtakingly beautiful. It is heavily wooded with lots of big trees (oak, hickory, poplar, gum, hemlock, etc.). You will swear youre looking at heaven when the leaves turn in the fall and then again when everything buds in the spring. When the sun goes down the only lights youll see are the moon and stars and the only sounds youll hear are the creek and the animals.

The Begley wildlife management area adjoins on the northeast corner and this hunters paradise is loaded with deer, elk, turkey, squirrel, beaver, raccoon, and the occasional wolf. The owner saw a cow elk that was so big he thought the neighbors horse had escaped! Stop by Teresas store in Stoney Fork and see the endless 6-point cast-offs folks have found in this lightly-hunted area.
The land generally follows the Jim York Branch of Stoney Fork Creek. Incidentally, the Jim York Branch didnt go dry even during the drought of 2005. There is a 3 acre lake at the northern portion of the property and so many springs and seeps that water isnt a concern. The area down in the hollow is very heavily wooded and the ridge tops are reclaimed strip mines with outstanding grass, water in the low areas, and NO bare spots.
Access is no problem with a 4WD or 4-wheeler. The roads and trails are largely old logging roads and skid trails. There is a perfect building site of an acre or two right at the entrance to the place that has electricity right there on the road.
Timber rights transfer with sale. No mineral rights, surface estate only. Coal rights are limited to 10 cents per ton wheelage.
Property taxes are about $1,600 per year.
The owner said that they would bury him on this place if he hadn't married the prettiest girl in the world and moved to Oklahoma.
