Argillite Specialty for Sale - Greenup County
Welcome to the breathtaking Appalachian foothills of Kentucky, where this 19-acre retreat borders Greenbo Lake State Park—a 3,300-acre expanse of rolling mountains and a sparkling lake. This is more than just property—it's an established, income-producing retreat. The designer-quality main residence and 2 relaxing cabins are nestled in nature, offering a rare blend of tranquility and potential that will make you rethink what’s possible.
THE CROWN JEWEL: Built in 2023, this stunning log home masterpiece showcases designer-level craftsmanship. The moment you step inside, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings reaching over 20 feet at the peak create an awe-inspiring great room, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace. Statement antler chandeliers illuminate the expansive open-concept living space where hardwood floors flow seamlessly. The gourmet kitchen features a massive island with leathered granite countertops, top-of-the-line black appliances, a gas range, and white perimeter cabinetry for abundant storage. This space is designed for both intimate dinners and entertaining large gatherings. The primary suite is nothing short of spectacular. Step into your spa-like retreat with stunningly chic tiled walls and floors, upscale gold-and-brass fixtures, a navy custom vanity with dual sinks, unique gold-framed mirrors, and a spacious walk-in shower with a built-in bench. This bathroom alone rivals luxury hotel suites. The second bedroom offers versatility with a Murphy bed that transforms from a guest suite to a multi-use space. The second bath continues the designer aesthetic with floor-to-ceiling tile and refined finishes.
The exterior is just as remarkable, boasting stone foundation accents, professional landscaping with concrete walkways, and expansive covered porches ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The 40x26 metal garage offers an RV-size bay, a full bath with a walk-in shower, and an oversized covered porch. Extensive concrete improvements include an enormous driveway, wide sidewalks, and ample parking for multiple vehicles. This robust infrastructure perfectly positions the property for seamless expansion.
TWO PROFESSIONALLY FINISHED INCOME-PRODUCING CABINS:
The two additional cabins with a 5.0-star rating on Airbnb feature high-end finishes throughout. Each features vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, a well-appointed bedroom, spiral staircases to loft sleeping areas, full kitchens with natural wood cabinetry, modern bathrooms with large-format tile, stacked washer/dryers, and mini-split HVAC systems. The modern rustic aesthetic with natural wood and black fixture accents creates spaces guests love. Meticulously landscaped grounds with covered porches, firepit areas with concrete pads, benches, and thoughtfully designed pergolas with lighting create unforgettable curb appeal. These are not ordinary rentals—they are beautifully appointed retreats that command premium rates and keep the calendar booked. With infrastructure already in place, such as underground utilities, city water, and prepared house sites, the hard work is done. With two proven income producers and a showcase luxury residence setting the bar, you have the ideal blueprint for expansion.
