Karen's pictures are very representative of both of them. There is one property of 80 acres on top of the hill. It has an old house on it that one can either tear down or fix up. It needs a bit of work. It has also a large tobacco barn that is in good shape. I think it would be fairly easy to add stalls for horses. The property is about 50/50 pastures and woods. It has a bit of road frontage on a road with very little traffic. The area is fairly empty of humans and the back of the property has woods and hills of people who are assembling to land to leave natural. It has lots of trails. Andyone moving to this property will also have the use of our trails and our neighbors' trails. The owners are asking $ 210,000. The other property is 126 acres with a fairly new house and a small barn/workshop. The proportion of pasture to woods is about 20/80 but I may be mistaken, pasture may be more. It is also on top of the hill, actually only about 300 yards from the one above. It also adjoins the "nature reserve" and new owners will also be welcome to our trails. I think they are asking $ 450,000. Karen and Cary came all the way from NC to look at the 80 acre property and they have first dibs as far as I am concerned. But there are locals who are interested. I am hoping that some Icelandic horse owner will buy either or both properties and this is why I am posting it to the list. Karen took some beautiful pictures but the colors are becoming more gorgeous now that we have had a frost. We have about a month of glorious fall colors here; I don't think New England could not possibly be any more beautiful this time of the year. And springs are equally pretty here. I wish I had time to take pictures and send to the list but I can't right now because the house we are building needs close supervision right now. So if anyone has question, feel free to ask. Anneliese, in the middle of beautiful Kentucky (which, indicentally, is becoming more sophisticated).
