WELCOME TO THE ROWAN 222! Located just 15+/- minutes from downtown Morehead, this property in Rowan County offers the best of both worlds-some of the prettiest hardwood ridges and wildlife habitats Kentucky has to offer, while still being just minutes from a major hospital, grocery stores, restaurants, and everyday conveniences.
For a tract of this size, accessibility is exceptional. Christy Creek Road provides easy access, and a short drive across a creek and down a country road leads to direct road frontage on the property. A cleared, graveled area near the road would make an excellent location for a cabin, camper, hunting camp, or even your future home.
Electric and water are available nearby. A county-maintained gravel road also crosses the property and provides access to a small family cemetery. This quarter-mile roadway and cemetery area are subject to an easement allowing family members to visit, but the road is beautifully maintained and conveniently leads to the main entrance of the Rowan 222.
Gates and signage mark the property boundaries and welcome you into an extensive trail system. The current owners primarily enjoyed the property for ATV riding and invested in improving the trails, hiring dozer work to widen them for larger side-by-sides and utility vehicles.
The result is an impressive network of trails that reaches nearly every corner of the farm. Spend a day exploring scenic ridges, creek bottoms, and hidden hollows-or spend a week and still discover something new. Although the owners aren't hunters themselves, they leased the property last year, and it has seen very little hunting pressure over time.
Wildlife habitat is outstanding. Multiple creeks and water sources, thick bedding cover, mature hardwood timber, and several small hilltop openings create ideal conditions for whitetail deer and wild turkey. A few secluded clearings would make excellent food plot locations, and deer and turkey can be found throughout the property.
And let's be honest-dragging a big Kentucky buck uphill for half a mile loses its appeal pretty quickly. The established trail system and excellent accessibility make this property especially attractive for hunters who want quality habitat without having to hike miles into the backcountry.
