YES, THIS ONE SOLD BUT DON’T GIVE UP! WE HAVE MORE GREAT DEALS HERE

Cheap Land in Kentucky with 2,000 sf Berm House

The first brave pioneers to venture west of the Appalachians came down the Ohio River and settled the beautiful hills around it. This is your chance to follow in their footsteps, except most of the building has already been done here. With a 2,000 square foot, open floor plan berm house, power poles, septic, & cistern, you’ve got a massive jump start in building your own homestead. With the Ohio River only 11 minutes away and Brandenburg’s generous retail offerings just 20 minutes to the east, you’ll never have to go far to find what you’re looking for.

  • 2000 sf Berm House w/Open Floor Plan
  • No Restrictions
  • Power w/Septic & Cistern Pre-installed
  • Direct Road Frontage
  • Survey Available
  • Priced at least 20% Below Market
  • 11 mins to Ohio River boat ramp

PROPERTY: This 14.34 acre square-ish lot is mostly wooded but improved with a berm house, power poles, septic, cistern, and a cleared driveway leading the way off Spring Creek Lane, a private dirt road that runs 1000 feet to the paved, public Jarbo Sinks Road. The berm house frame, exterior walls, and roof are completely built and power was hooked up in the early stages, but it was never totally finished and has never been lived-in, and since there are no restrictions on the property, it’s 100% ready for your customization! Berm houses are famous for staying naturally cool in the summer and warm in the winter and you won’t find a more durable type of home against the elements. The lot is sloped but still very buildable and this rolling Ohio River Valley neighborhood is very lightly populated and very peaceful. Fishermen and water enthusiasts will enjoy living only 11 minutes from the Wolf Creek boat ramp on the mighty Ohio River. Don’t have a boat? No problem, catch riverboat ride about 20 minutes away in Brandenburg, a historic, quaint valley town that features weekend concerts in Riverfront Park. Ready to kick it up a notch? Party down in Louisville, just one hour to the east, placing you solidly within that “Goldilocks” zone — close enough to the big city when you need it, but firmly planted in the country for all the peace and serenity you crave.

Best Deal in the Market – Check Zillow or Realtor and You’ll Agree!

Since there are no “half-finished berm houses” on the market in Kentucky, or probably anywhere in the country, it’s difficult to comp this property but we found a similar-sized barn property in the area and it’s priced at $160K, or $10,667 per acre. The other two comps are raw land — no insfrastructure — priced around $6,400 per acre. Our property has major advatanges that these others do not, specifically the 2,000 sf berm house, connected power and pre-installed septic and cistern, which are improvements worth thousands of dollars more. To sell this property quickly though, we’ve priced it below the price for raw land!

FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.

OWNER FINANCING: We do not offer owner-financing but you could get a loan through a bank or another lender and we’d be happy to coordinate with them.

OUTSIDE FINANCING: Your best deal for financing will come from a local bank or credit union and we can help you find a great deal. Land loans typically require about 15-25% down.

WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).


DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, build-ability, and approved/allowable use-age for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
