0000 Haynes Cemetery Rd, Somerset, KY 42501

Description

Welcome to 124 +/- acres in Pulaski County, Kentucky — a rare and storied tract set in one of the most productive valleys in Southern Kentucky. Blending working pasture, diverse timber, creek's, and deep historical character, this property is a true blank canvas for the hunter, investor, or outdoor enthusiast looking to build something that lasts for generations. Roughly 22 +/- acres of productive pasture anchor the heart of the farm, with another 5 +/- acres of overgrown pasture that a new owner can reclaim or leave standing as wildlife cover. A creek bed runs along both the west and east sides of the property and across the south end of the main pasture, supplying water for wildlife and adding to the natural beauty of the land. To the west, the pasture gives way to thick habitat and a coniferous grove, while the woody cover wrapping the fields to the south and east opens into a diverse mix of hardwood species. Together, this timber represents a potential long-term investment while doing double duty as some of the best bedding cover on the farm. For the hunter, this is a proven big-buck area and a genuine hunter's paradise. The property supports an extensive and healthy deer and turkey population, and the thick creek bottom and habitat on the west side create incredible bedding both summer and winter. An improved trail system, updated in 2026, ties the property together. The property is currently held in a hunting lease that expires the year of the sale (Jan 15), allowing a new owner to step into the field with a clean slate. Beyond hunting, this land carries a history few properties can match. According to local and family history, the tract traces back to the War of 1812 (1812-1814). Hezekiah Haynes, served in the war and, in lieu of pay, received a land patent of several hundred acres. In 1815 he built the Haynes Place, a log homestead anchored by hand-laid limestone chimneys, and established a working farmstead with a large barn, corn crib, and a streamside garden. These ruins sit on the western side of the farm today. The Haynes family Cemetery sits at the top of the main entrance from the north and is accessible, with access to the property running along Haynes Cemetery Road. Location only adds to the appeal. The farm sits just 10 miles — about 15 minutes — from Somerset, and only 0.8 miles from the Cumberland River. Beaver Creek WMA is 20 miles (30 minutes) away, and Lake Cumberland is roughly 30 minutes out, putting thousands of additional acres of public recreation and world-class water within easy reach. Lexington is 90 miles (1 hour 40 minutes), Knoxville 110 miles (2 hours), Bowling Green 120 miles (2 hours), and Louisville 160 miles (2 hours 40 minutes), with the Tennessee state line just 40 miles (50 minutes) to the south. A survey is currently pending. Whether you're chasing mature whitetails, investing in timber and land, or simply seeking a historic piece of Kentucky to call your own, this property truly is an incredible opportunity to own one of the most productive valleys in Southern Kentucky.
