Business Description
The Apex of Vertical Integration: 111-Acre Turnkey STR Estate & Development Platform
This is not merely a real estate acquisition; it is the purchase of a fully realized hospitality ecosystem. Situated less than 90 minutes from Lexington and 30 minutes from the world-renowned Red River Gorge, this 111-acre domain offers a rare "moat" for the savvy investor: immediate high-yield cash flow paired with the industrial infrastructure to triple your portfolio at a fraction of market cost.

The Revenue Engine: Luxury STR Portfolio
Step into a business with a proven track record and zero "startup" friction. The residential footprint is modern, high-end, and designed for the premium rental market.

Four Modern Income Homes: All structures are less than four years old, featuring premium finishes and high-efficiency builds.

Proven Performance: Three cabins are currently active with established occupancy rates and five-star guest histories.

Instant Scalability: The fourth cabin is fully furnished and turnkey-ready, providing a Day 1 increase in gross revenue for the new owner.

The Developer’s Edge: Unprecedented Cost Control
While other developers battle rising material costs and logistics, this property offers vertical integration.

Operational On-Site Sawmill: A game-changer for expansion. Harvest and mill your own lumber from the estate to build future cabins. This significantly lowers capital expenditure (CapEx) for Phase 2 and creates a "locally sourced" brand story that commands a premium.

Expansion-Ready Terrain: 111 surveyed acres, including prepped sites around and beyond the second pond, are ready for additional units.

The Hub (60’ x 60’ Heated Shop): This massive, insulated facility serves as your staging ground, maintenance HQ, or a potential secondary revenue stream (e.g., an indoor event venue or yoga retreat).

Operational Excellence: Maximizing the Bottom Line
This estate was engineered to slash Operating Expenses (OpEx) through centralized infrastructure.
Professional Laundry Facility: Eliminate the "laundry tax." This dedicated site-wide facility ensures rapid guest turnovers and removes the need for expensive off-site services.
Robust Infrastructure: Eectric, high-speed internet, a filtered well system, and "no-4x4-required" gravel roads are already in place. Your expansion focuses on building structures, not fighting the terrain for utilities.

The "Gorge" Experience: Natural Capital
In the Short-Term Rental world, amenities drive nightly rates. This property offers features that cannot be manufactured:

Dual Deepwater Ponds: Two 2-acre, 21-foot-deep ponds, fully stocked for fishing and recreation. This is a primary guest draw that ensures year-round demand.

Absolute Privacy: 111 acres of private buffer ensures the quiet, "oasis" experience that urban travelers crave, while remaining minutes from the tourism heartbeat of Eastern Kentucky.
Investment Verdict

This property represents a de-risked entry into the booming Red River Gorge tourism market. With the initial development costs absorbed and the "machinery" for expansion already in place, it is a self-sustaining wealth generator.

Whether you are looking for a legacy family compound with a massive tax-mitigating income stream or a commercial-scale hospitality expansion, this estate is the blueprint for the modern investor.

Market Outlook / Competition

It is a popular destination for outdoor activities like hiking, rock climbing (considered one of the world's top destinations. This property in particular is quiet and allows for a retreat like atmosphere, which differentiates it from many of the properties nearby.
Opportunities for Growth
Picture micro resort, retreat center, training, quiet oasis, 4X4 trails, hunting and fishing all available in this one business. This property has all of this already started. The cabins rent regularly and have the potential for so much more by using available platforms and marketing tools. Sites for more cabins are already established.
There are only a few acres that are developed out of the 111 acres included, however, a well, with a filtration system, electricity and internet cable are all available to expand with further builds. This could be a short term rental community, or a privately owned oasis.
