73.8-acre Booneville parcel listed for $180,000 now pending sale

A large tract of undeveloped land on State Hwy 847 in Booneville that was offered for $180,000 went into pending status after a January listing update, narrowing a rare opportunity for Owsley County buyers seeking sizeable acreage close to town. The property, identified as 3319 State Hwy 847 and shown on MLS #25501459, totals 73.80 acres and includes gently rolling fields, open areas, and a small pond.

At the advertised price the parcel equates to roughly $2,440 per acre, a figure that places it within reach of many local prospective buyers looking to establish a farm, hunting ground, private retreat, or a long-term homestead. The listing noted a vacant home on the property; no interior photographs were provided because of the structure's shape and condition, meaning buyers should account for demolition or rehabilitation costs in their calculations.

The listing was last updated on January 14, 2026 and the listing status was checked on January 15, 2026. The listing agent is Alyssa Evans of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Foster Realtors in Richmond, KY, and buyers are advised to verify details with the agent and the MLS entry before proceeding. The parcel’s size and features make it attractive for livestock, timber management, and outdoor recreation, uses that resonate with many families and small operators in Owsley County.

For the local market, a pending sale of a tract this large can have immediate implications. Owsley County has limited inventory of contiguous acreage parcels; when a 73.8-acre property moves off the market it tightens supply for buyers seeking space for agricultural or recreational purposes. That scarcity tends to support land values over time, while successful conversion to an active farm or residence would increase local tax rolls and potentially bring incremental economic activity to nearby Booneville businesses that supply feed, equipment, and services.

Prospective buyers should budget beyond the purchase price for access, site preparation, septic and well work, and any needed repairs to the vacant house. The property’s pond and rolling topography will be factors in land-use planning, and any timber or mineral considerations should be checked through county records.

For now, Owsley County residents watching local land trends will want to monitor county property records for a transfer, and reach out to the listing agent, Alyssa Evans, for confirmed specifics, easements, or survey information. If this pending sale completes, available large tracts in the immediate area will be fewer, underscoring the value of acting promptly when a rare acreage listing appears.
