716 Mauk Cemetery Rd, Olive Hill, KY 41164

Looking for your own peace and quiet off the beaten path? This completely off-grid 2-bedroom, 2-bath A-frame home in Olive Hill sits on 57.271 surveyed acres, approximately 15 minutes from Grayson Lake! Designed for true off-grid living, the property is powered by 18 solar panels, with room to add six more, along with battery storage located beneath the porch and a backup Generac generator. A solar power control system, propane gas, well water, and a propane tankless water heater help keep the home operating independently. There is also an exterior water spigot located near the well. The solar system is designed around thoughtful, energy-conscious living, and the seller can provide an integrated operating and maintenance guide to help the next owner understand and operate the system efficiently. Inside, hardwood flooring runs throughout the main floor and upstairs. The living room, kitchen, and dining area are all open to one another, with tall ceilings that complement the A-frame design and create an open and spacious feel. The kitchen features white cabinets and an island with additional seating, and includes a refrigerator, stove, microwave, and dishwasher. Double doors in the living room, along with an additional single door, open directly onto the partial wraparound deck, providing plenty of room to enjoy the surrounding acreage and wooded setting while making it easy to bring the outdoors into the living space. The home features three mini-split units downstairs and one upstairs for added comfort, as well as a propane heater in the living room that provides additional heat for the home. Wide modern baseboards and two unique house-shaped windows add character to the A-frame design. Also on the main floor is a bedroom with two closets and a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo and linen closet. The laundry room has hookups for a washer and propane dryer and includes a utility sink and storage cabinet with space for folding laundry. The living room also includes an additional storage closet. Upstairs, the loft serves as a bedroom and includes its own full bathroom with a shower, creating a private, yet semi-open, second-level space. The unfinished basement offers plenty of room for storage and includes a wood-burning stove, along with double doors leading outside to a concrete pad at the back of the house. According to a previous appraisal, approximately one acre surrounds the home, with about 24 acres of pasture and 32 acres of woods. Fencing surrounds the entire property, although some areas are in need of mending. Multiple access gates are already in place, including one to the field, one at the gravel road leading to the home, and another closer to the house. The hay field on the far side of the property includes an approximately 12-acre section that the seller describes as having very good soil quality for hay production. According to the owner's estimates, the acreage and pasture could potentially support approximately 12 to 15 head of cattle, depending on management and conditions. The terrain offers some especially unique natural features. A creek runs through the valley between the home and the pasture on the opposite side, eventually reaching an approximately 10-foot rock waterfall and catch basin before flowing off a cliff and into Little Gimlet Creek. The seller believes the terrain and water flow may offer potential for the development of a deep, multi-acre lake, subject to any necessary studies, approvals, and permitting. Whether you’re looking for an off-grid primary residence, hunting property, small farm, weekend getaway, potential short-term rental, or simply a unique place near Grayson Lake, this A-frame offers acreage, privacy, natural features, and the infrastructure needed to enjoy life off the beaten path. ***ASK A REALTOR® FOR THE ADDITIONAL INFO ABOUT THE HOME & LAND!*** Want to schedule a showing?
