Agriculture

The remaining 272± acres are currently utilized for hay production, generating approximately 500 round bales annually. This existing agricultural use provides supplemental income while future development phases are implemented and may help offset holding costs during lot sellout and expansion.
Additionally, all owned water and mineral rights associated with the property will convey with the sale, further enhancing the property’s long-term investment profile.

Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources

All owned water and mineral rights associated with the property will convey.

General Operations

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an established lake-area community in a single transaction with both immediate cash flow potential and significant future appreciation. By strategically selling the existing developed lots individually, a new owner has the opportunity to recover a substantial portion of the acquisition basis early while retaining control of the remaining large-scale development acreage for future phases and long-term value creation.
Recent lot sales within the development have averaged approximately $50,000 per lot, creating an attractive near-term revenue opportunity for the next owner.
Existing Lot Sales Potential
Based on a wholesale acquisition basis of approximately $30,000 per lot and recent retail lot sales averaging approximately $50,000 per lot:

Average Retail Lot Sale Price: $50,000
Estimated Lot Acquisition Basis: $30,000
Estimated Gross Profit Per Lot: $20,000

With 70 developed lots in place, the projected gross profit potential from lot sales alone is approximately $1,400,000 before associated expenses and carrying costs.
This structure provides a compelling opportunity for an investor or developer to reduce basis quickly while preserving long-term ownership and development control of the remaining 272+/- acreage.

History

The Lake Cumberland region between Somerset and Monticello is rich in history and deeply connected to Kentucky’s cultural heritage. Originally settled in the late 1700s and early 1800s, the area developed around farming, timber, and commerce along the Cumberland River. The region’s modern identity was shaped in the 1950s with the construction of Wolf Creek Dam, which created Lake Cumberland—one of the largest man-made lakes east of the Mississippi River.
Today, Lake Cumberland is recognized as one of the nation’s premier recreational lakes, attracting visitors from across the country for boating, fishing, and outdoor recreation. Despite its popularity as a tourism destination, the surrounding countryside retains much of its historic rural character, with rolling farmland, hardwood forests, small communities, and a strong tradition of outdoor living. The combination of natural beauty, rich history, and easy access to one of Kentucky’s most celebrated lakes makes this area a unique and highly desirable place to own property.
