Entire Farm Description:
Here’s a fabulous opportunity to own a farm on Gasper River just minutes outside of Bowling Green. The property has over 3500’ of frontage on Gasper River, 1600’ of frontage on Highland Church Road and over ¾ mile frontage on Wand Cemetery Rd. Wand Cemetery Road splits the parcel in half and dead ends at the property line offering excellent access with very limited through traffic. There’s 30+ acres of fallow pasture ground that recently came out of the CREP program that could easily be cleaned up for livestock, row crops or food plots. The topography is very diverse from flat open land, gently rolling timber ground to steeper river bluffs and hollers including rock outcroppings and caves with obvious Native American use. The old farmhouse is still in excellent shape considering it’s nearly 80 years old. It has a new roof, original hardwood floors throughout and features 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. It’s perfect for rental income, a hunting cabin, or remodel and update for your weekend getaway or Airbnb rental. There are numerous building sites with easy access to utilities and significant development potential considering the proximity to Bowling Green. With significant wooded acreage, future returns on the timber should not be overlooked. The timber stand is middle to older aged and features a diverse mix of hardwoods. There are so many reasons to invest in this property! Whether you’re just looking to diversify your portfolio, develop the next Warren County subdivision, build your dream home, hunt, fish, or wait on a timber harvest or a combination of all the above, don’t miss this opportunity!
Tract 1 Description: 51.555+/- Acres
Rarely does a property come along that has as many opportunities as this one. Located less than 15 miles from downtown Bowling Green, this property has real development potential. It’s flat to gently rolling and has over 4000’ of road frontage. If homesteading is of interest, there are multiple fields totaling approx. 18 acres for crops and/or livestock, as well as several small livestock/wildlife ponds. The old farmhouse built in the ’40s is still in excellent shape. The roof was recently replaced, and the original hardwood floors are intact and gorgeous. The 3-bedroom 1 bath home is livable as is or would make an excellent restoration project. It could be rented or used as a hunting cabin or dolled up and used as an Airbnb or guest home, options are endless! Multiple beautiful building sites are available for your dream home as well.
Tract 2 Description: 54.419+/- Acres
This property is a great option for your homestead or hunting getaway. There are approximately 10 acres of open land with room for your dream home, livestock, small scale crops, food plots, etc. It’s also a great timber investment. While it’s not ready today, the time will come in the near future when a significant timber harvest will payoff for the owner. One of the coolest features of this property is the large rock shelter once used by Native Americans. While exploring the area under the rock overhang, I stumbled onto a “hominy hole” (see photo), used by natives to grind nuts and grain into flour, etc. I’m certain with a little effort, smaller artifacts could be found as well. There’s also a spring coming from the rock overhang that appears to run year-round based on evidence of it being developed for human use.
Tract 3 Description: 116.385+/- Acres
The most desirable land feature among buyers is by far “live water”, aka creeks, rivers, springs, etc. Here it is! A phenomenal property along the banks of beautiful Gasper River! 3500’ of frontage to be precise. The property features flat areas with views for building your dream home as well as clearings for food plots. Rivers are excellent travel corridors for whitetail deer and this one is no exception. Lots of deer sign on the property as well as natural pinch points to capitalize on the movement. There’s a great stand of timber that will payoff big with future harvest. River tracts rarely come to market, don’t miss this rare opportunity!

Do not bid until you have read and agree to the terms and conditions. By bidding you are representing that you have read and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions for this sale as stated herein.

The successful bidder will be required to execute a Sales Agreement at the conclusion of the auction and submit the appropriate down payment in a timely manner as instructed by the Auctioneer.
All properties are sold "AS IS, WHERE IS" with no financing, inspection or other contingencies to sale. The Broker and Auction Company represent the seller only and do not inspect properties on the bidder's behalf. Read the Contract and Auction Day Notes to determine the existence of any disclosures, exclusions, representations and disclaimers. Do not bid if you have not inspected the property(ies).

Buyers receive a deed and Title Insurance Policy as provided by the Closer indicated in the Contract (any mobile/manufactured housing not legally affixed to the property shall only be conveyed by a Hold Harmless Agreement or Quitclaim Bill of Sale unless otherwise noted in the Disclosures).

Tracts sold by the acre - The contract will indicate the current acreage, bid per acre and the high bid will be the current acreage multiplied by the high bid per acre. If a survey is required prior to closing that would result in a change to acreage, the contract will be adjusted to that acreage prior to closing and the purchase price will reflect that change in acreage.
If a survey is required, it is typically done immediately following the auction. The per acre bid at auction will then be multiplied by actual surveyed acres to determine the final sales price at closing. The purchase agreement and sales day announcements will identify the party responsible for survey cost.
