- 30 acres on Lake Cumberland, Kentucky. Actually, not quite on Lake Cumberland.
- There is no private lakefront land. The Corpse of Engineers owns all land
- fronting on Lake Cumberland. This strip of government land is about a hundred
- yards wide between the property and the actual water.
-
- Lake Cumberland is an artificial lake, damned [sic joke] in 1952. The Lake is
- 100 miles long, has a surface area of 50,000 acres, and a shoreline of 1200
- miles. It is a popular fishing and recreation area. Good hunting too.
-
- Access to the Lake from the developed part of the property is a 10 minute walk
- thru the woods. By car, Beaver Creek Resort is a 10 minute drive on paved
- roads. Monticello is 10 miles away on KY Rt 92. In the other direction on
- Rt 92, the pavement ends within a mile. There isn't much thru traffic.
-
- The property is located on the Jabez topo map, roughly a half inch from the
- south edge and three inches from the west edge of the map. The property is
- approximately bounded by Rt 92 on the north, the jeeptrail on the east, the map
- edge on the south (see Parnell Quad), and the creek on the west. Topo maps are
- available for public inspection and duplication at a Map Reference Library,
- located at your local college Geology/Geography Department. Or purchase for
- less than $5 from Timely Discount Topos, 800/821-7609. Ask for a "Topographic
- Map Symbols" pamphlet too.
-
- The property is one side of a ridge, flattish on top and sloping westerly down
- to the Lake. The road comes in at the top of the ridge. There are a couple
- acres of this ridgetop cleared for pasture and garden. The rest of the land is
- covered with mixed hardwood timber. It could be cleared for pasture, but I
- wouldn't advise it.
-
- The obvious housesite is on a little knoll looking westerly out over the Lake.
- Except that you would never know that the Lake is there. All you can see is
- hills, woods, and more trees. You can't see the highway, either. There are
- electric and phone lines into the housesite. There are two limestone springs,
- one conveniently located near the housesite. There are no building codes,
- health codes, zoning, nor easements.
-
- There is a 20 x 30 foot barn in good condition, with three private stalls and a
- loft. Stock water is from a small pond. Present residents are four fattening
- hogs, two mules, and a horse. In other times there have been goats, a milk
- cow, chickens, ducks, geese, peafowl, and a jackass.
-
- You get the timber rights, water rights, access rights, right rights, etc
- rights. The mineral rights have been reserved, but there are no economic
- minerals. The only mineral production in the area has been a few small oil
- wells, now abandoned. Taxes are about US$150 per year.
-
- I do not supply pinup pictures. I have some photos of the property, but there
- really isn't much to see. Send me $10 and I'll send you a set of prints.
-
- The price is $15,000. I would consider 1/4 down and $200 per month, plus
- interest.
