I have 23 acres in Green Co Ky. that I would like to sell.
This is a great property for a permaculture homestead. I have had the property for about 8 years and have pastured  horses and cattle on it. It has year round water. A seasonal stream and a  spring fed pond for summer water. There is bottom land, hills with trees, sloping pasture and a hilltop meadow with awesome views. A barn and an old building that people once lived in. I won't call it a house, but the 12x24 two story structure is pretty solid.  
There is a great place for a small lake or large pond. The spring is half way up a hill but it doesn't run all the time.
It is near green river lake and two colleges located in Campbellsville and Columbia.
I am asking $84,000 for this property.
This is the first time I've posted here and I hope I got the attached photos and I don't know what a Wiki is. So...I'll submit this and hope for the best😀

Beautiful property.  I'd be thinking about it if I wasn't living on social security and didn't have my land and home paid for.  Winters just seem to be harder and longer the older I get.  :)

Is their power to the property?  Clean water?

Hi Dakota.

I really wanted to live there, but I built a house on my other property that already had infrastructure, electric, water and a new barn. I bought the property that  I'm selling to pasture my horses. I don't have them any longer and I can't justify two farms. My neighbor keeps it up for me and grazes his cow there. There have been no chemicals applied in the years I have had it so it is clean land.

I looked into getting electric to the property. The electric co. will bring power to the barn or if I add onto the old house. I think a building has to be 700 or 800 sq feet before they will do that. The old house is two stories but foot print is 12x 24. The porches need to come off or be replaced. I have my bees on the back porch. They are doing well there.

City water comes out past the property. There is a spring that is part way up one hill. I don't know if it would run all the time if it was dug out. Some swales above might help. The little creek runs all fall, winter and spring, but dries up during the summer to only a few pools. The pond however always has water in it. Spring fed? It's below the spring on the hill. I never had to worry about my horses or the cows having water.



Thank you for your interest.
Susan

What a beautiful property. What area of Kentucky is this? I am searching for land to buy to start our off-grid family homestead (We are a LARGE family with small children looking for a better way of life) in Kentucky but sadly, I am looking for a land contract or lease/owner financing otherwise I'd make you an offer.

Susan, Have you had much luck with selling the property?  I'm in Kentucky and know a few folks looking for land.
