Custom-built horse and hobby farm on 15.43 surveyed acres! If you've been looking for a property that's already set up for horses, livestock, homesteading, and country living, this one is ready to go. Offering a great balance of open pasture and mature woods, the property also features a seasonal stream leading to Bullfork Creek and a natural swimming hole, all while being tucked away just off the road for added privacy. Built in 2016, this custom home features a unique solid exterior wall system rather than traditional 2x4 exterior framing, creating exceptional insulation and energy efficiency. The home is so airtight it even features its own fresh-air ventilation system. Step inside from the expansive wraparound porch into one large open great room where the kitchen, dining, and living areas come together beneath soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings. Pine flooring, natural light, and a wood-burning stove create the perfect gathering space, while the kitchen offers a large island, ample cabinetry, and durable Corian solid-surface countertops that can be refinished if ever needed. The main level offers three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The primary suite features a beautiful wood accent wall, private bathroom, walk-in closet, and a convenient laundry pass-through directly into the utility room. A second bedroom offers its own private bathroom along with direct access to the screened porch overlooking the backyard, while the third full bathroom is conveniently located in the hallway for guests or the additional bedroom. Upstairs, the oversized loft provides endless possibilities for a second living area, office, homeschool room, game room, hobby space, or additional sleeping area. Just off the kitchen is a mudroom currently being used as a dog room, complete with plumbing for a future half bath, a dog door leading to a fenced outdoor area, and direct access to both the home and the detached garage. The 28x36 detached garage is a standout feature of its own, offering soaring ceilings, a large storage loft, a separate finished room with electricity, built-in shelving, its own electrical panel, and hookups suitable for an RV or welder. Owned solar panels are mounted on the garage roof to help offset utility costs while complementing the home's energy-efficient construction. The garage connects directly to the mudroom and also offers an exterior entrance. Outside is where this property truly shines. The entire farm is fully fenced and ready for horses or livestock. The horse pasture features quality electric mesh fencing and includes a large run-in shed with three stalls, a tack room, an additional covered storage area for hay, shavings, or equipment, and a riding arena already in place, making it ready to use from day one. On the opposite side of the property you'll find four separately fenced areas currently set up for goats and chickens, each with its own dedicated storage container for animal housing. An additional 40x8 shipping container provides excellent storage for equipment, tools, hay, feed, or seasonal items. Enjoy the outdoors from the wraparound covered porch, screened porch, large concrete patio, above-ground pool with surrounding deck, or fire pit area while taking in the peaceful views, plus mature peach, pear, and apple trees. Beneath the screened porch is a 7-foot-tall concrete block storm shelter with electricity, accessible through a hatch in the screened porch, offering additional storage and peace of mind. The home is currently supplied by a rainwater cistern, while county water has already been run to a spigot just a few feet from the house if a future owner chooses to connect. Whether you're looking to start a hobby farm, operate a horse farm, or simply enjoy country living, this property is ready for its next owner. Conveniently located less than 5 minutes from I-64, under 15 minutes to downtown Morehead, and approximately 15 minutes from Cave Run Lake.
