Thirty acres in Kentucky hill country for under $100,000. That number needs a moment. The zip median sale price runs around $160,000, and the median price per square foot is $116. This property is selling at $55 per square foot, which puts it 53% below that median. Even accounting for the condition unknowns, the land alone makes the math hard to ignore.
The house is a 1989 A-frame with 1,814 square feet, two bedrooms, two full baths, a spiral staircase, and a combination brick and wood exterior under a metal roof. Metal roofs last, and that matters here because everything else about this property's condition is an open question. It's bank-owned, sold as-is, and US Bank is making no representations about systems, structure, or anything else. There are no dates on mechanical updates. No disclosure of what works and what doesn't. You would be walking in essentially blind beyond what you can see with your own eyes.
The A-frame layout with a spiral staircase gives the interior some actual character. These are houses people remember. Whether the interior reflects that or has been left rough from years of sitting is exactly what a walkthrough needs to answer.
Out back there's a detached two-car garage with a loft and a workshop area. For anyone who wants a place to work on things, store equipment, or run a hobby that needs space, that's a real asset. Thirty acres gives you room for almost anything beyond the structures themselves. Hunting, trails, farming, keeping animals, building something new, or just having land that nobody else is on.
The condition is the honest risk here. Bank-owned as-is means the price reflects uncertainty, and you need to price in repairs before you know what you're getting into. Get an inspection. Bring someone who knows mechanical systems.
But $99,900 for 30 acres and a distinctive house with a garage and workshop in a buyer's market with 29% of listings taking price drops is a starting point that's hard to replicate.
