Experience the beauty and recreation of Lake Cumberland selling at Absolute Simulcast Auction — an outstanding opportunity to purchase lake-view property with unlimited potential. This offering features approximately 1.5± acres divided into two tracts, each providing its own unique advantages, all just moments from a convenient boat ramp and the popular Fishing Creek campground area. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, weekend getaway, investment property, or future build site, this property checks all the boxes for location and lifestyle.
Tract 1 consists of approximately 0.41± acres improved with a spacious cabin-style home. Enjoy wonderful lake views and the convenience of being only about one minute from launching your boat. The home features a wrap-around blacktop driveway, welcoming covered porch, and rustic charm throughout. Inside, you’ll find an open living area highlighted by tall vaulted ceilings, beautiful wood walls, and a striking stone fireplace. The kitchen flows conveniently from the main living space. The main level offers two bedrooms and one bathroom, while the basement provides additional flexibility with an open garage area, second bathroom, small kitchenette space, large living area, and ample storage — ideal for guests, entertaining, or extended family stays.
Tract 2 offers approximately 0.55± acres and includes an existing two-story vinyl home in need of major repair. Vacant for several years, this tract presents an excellent opportunity for renovation or a fresh start. With its desirable lake proximity and recreational setting, it would make an outstanding location to rebuild a custom lake home or investment property.
Buy one tract, the other, or both — and take advantage of this rare opportunity to own property near one of Kentucky’s most sought-after recreational destinations. Properties this close to Lake Cumberland and boat access don’t come along often, and at Absolute Auction, it will be sold to the highest bidder regardless of price.
