Description

A 220-Year-Old Kentucky Homestead Reimagined. Some properties are old. Some have history. And then there are places like this. Dating to circa 1805, this extraordinary Kentucky homestead is believed to be connected to William Bracken, namesake of Bracken County. The original two-story log house has been thoughtfully preserved and expanded over the generations, with additions from the 1800s, 1953, and 2022. And now, for the first time since 1913, this piece of Kentucky history is being offered to a new owner.
The restoration strikes an incredible balance between old and new. Original exposed log walls, massive beams, an original stone hearth, enamel sinks, and the historic stone-lined well tell the story of the property, while extensive modern updates make it comfortable for today's lifestyle. The infrastructure has been comprehensively updated, including a new foundation, metal roof and siding, septic and plumbing, electrical, insulated windows, subflooring, and ceilings. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped, as is the laundry. A renovated summer kitchen adds flexible space for an office, guest quarters, or creative studio. The main house currently features two bedrooms and one bath, with room to create two additional bedrooms and a luxurious ensuite primary bath. Plumbing for the additional bathroom is already in place. The dining room is made for long dinners and big gatherings, with nine windows taking in the views. The living room is warm and inviting, anchored by a cast-iron wood-burning stove. But the real magic happens outside. Bracken Creek runs through the property, with multiple places to get in to swim and play. There are many opportunities to explore with trails for hiking, horseback riding, and ATVs, winding through wooded hillsides and scenic acreage. A rare opportunity to own a genuinely historic Kentucky property that doesn't feel frozen in time.
History brought forward. Nature at your doorstep. And plenty of room to make it yours.
