Spacious Farmhouse on 4 Acres in the Bluegrass Region
$205,000
Two thousand, five hundred and sixty square feet on 4.04 Bluegrass-region acres for $205,000 — the ratio of house to price is the story in Mayslick. Mason County doesn't generate many listings, and a home this size at this acreage for this price doesn't linger.
The floor plan runs to 3 bedrooms and 2 baths — enough flexibility for a household that plans to grow alongside the land. At $205,000, this is genuine Mason County value.
Homestead Potential
Water & Infrastructure
Mason County's rolling Bluegrass terrain generally relies on private wells, and buyers should confirm well depth and yield before closing. With 4.04 acres, there's room to consider a future pond for livestock watering or irrigation if one isn't already present.
Crop & Income Potential
Four acres is a solid middle ground — enough for a real kitchen garden, a few fruit trees, and pasture for a handful of animals like goats or sheep. Mason County's limestone-rich soils are well suited to pasture grasses and hay, a legacy of the region's long history in livestock and tobacco farming.
Sustainability
A home of this size has moderate heating and cooling needs, and Kentucky's climate supports a long outdoor growing season for anyone planning a market garden or orchard. The open acreage also offers good solar exposure for buyers considering a future solar array.
The Boundaries
Buyers should request a current survey to confirm the exact property lines on the 4.04 acres, especially given the rural nature of the road. Mason County's zoning outside Mayslick is generally permissive of agricultural use, livestock, and accessory structures.
Beyond the Property Line
Local Flavor & Small-Town Character
Mayslick earned its old nickname as "the asparagus bed of Mason County" from generations of rich farmland, a history still celebrated at the local Asparagus Festival. Twelve miles up the road in Maysville, the Mason County Farmers Market — one of Kentucky's oldest, running since 1968 — and the Germantown Fair keep the small-town calendar full.
Agricultural Resources & Neighbor Networks
Maysville's Tractor Supply, Rural King, and a Southern States co-op cover day-to-day farm needs, with Rip's Farm Center rounding things out. The UK Cooperative Extension office and Mason County Farm Bureau both keep a local presence for anyone tapping into county ag resources.
Outdoor Recreation & Natural Surroundings
Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park sits a short drive away along the Licking River, with hiking and canoeing both close at hand. Maysville River Park on the Ohio River adds camping and boating to the mix.
