Rare investment opportunity, established business and room to grow
Business Description
This is a rare, true turnkey investment where the initial development costs have been absorbed, the business has proven income, and the physical assets are in place to support both current operations and aggressive future expansion.
Facilities & Assets: A Turnkey, High-Growth Investment
This 111-acre estate is more than just land; it is a fully operational, income-generating business and a foundation for massive expansion. Every asset on the property is strategically designed to maximize profitability and minimize operating costs.
The Short-Term Rental Portfolio (Immediate Cash Flow)
Four Modern Income Homes: The sale includes four impeccably maintained cabins, all less than four years old. These are premium, highly-rated assets built with quality and guest experience in mind.
Three Cabins Currently Generating Revenue: Step into immediate cash flow with three units that have a proven rental history, positive guest reviews, and established occupancy rates.
Fourth Cabin is Turnkey Ready: The fourth unit is fully complete and ready for its first booking, offering an immediate increase in potential gross revenue on day one of ownership.
Expansion Ready: The 111-acre tract, particularly the land beyond the second pond, is surveyed and prepped for the development of multiple additional cabins, offering a clear, high-ROI path for future growth.
Infrastructure & Operational Hub (Minimize Expenses, Maximize Efficiency)
Custom 60' x 60' Insulated & Heated Shop/Workshop: This massive, versatile building is a critical asset. It serves as an on-site maintenance and storage hub, drastically reducing outsourcing costs for property upkeep and allowing for year-round equipment storage and repairs.
Value Proposition: Potential for a dedicated maintenance crew base, construction staging, or even a future event/amenity space (e.g., a wedding venue, yoga or indoor recreation area).
Dedicated Laundry Facility: This professional, centralized facility—featuring two washers and two dryers and extensive shelving—eliminates the massive cost and inconvenience of off-site laundering services.
Value Proposition: Ensures rapid guest turnover and a significantly lower operational expense compared to paying per-cabin laundry services.
Natural Capital & Land Assets (The Foundation for Value)
111 Acres of Private, Domain: Complete privacy and a natural buffer for quiet, high-demand rental experiences, yet less than 30 minutes from all that the Red River Gorge offers.
Two Fully Stocked, Deepwater Ponds (2 Acres Each / 21 Feet Deep): These are not decorative ponds—they are high-quality, fully stocked fishing/recreational assets.
Value Proposition: A premium guest amenity that directly translates to higher nightly rates, five-star reviews, and year-round recreational appeal.
Operational Sawmill: This unique asset offers an unparalleled cost-saving and development advantage.
Value Proposition: Enables the new owner to mill their own lumber for all future cabin construction, resulting in significantly lower costs for expansion and providing a rustic, locally-sourced aesthetic for new builds (as was done with the existing cabins).
Established Utility & Road Systems: Gravel roads (no 4x4 required), above-ground electricity, internet and a filtered well system already service all current units, meaning zero major infrastructure costs to start renting.
Imagine yourself in this oasis as a business owner, or for yourself. Less than 90 minutes from Lexington, but completely private and quiet.
