Hello. Our names are Randalyn and Shane Smith, owners of this beautiful home and double lot. We are offering for sale a gorgeous site with lakeview home adjoining a state resort. The home and lot are located only a couple of hundred yards away from wonderful Rough River Lake in Breckinridge County, Kentucky. The asking price for home and DOUBLE lot combined is only $181,900. For those of you not familiar with this area, Breckinridge County is located along the northern shore of Rough River Lake in central-west Kentucky. It is approx 40 miles from Owensboro, Kentucky, 50 miles north of Bowling Green, 70 miles southeast from Louisville,KY and within easy driving distance of Nashville,TN. This property is very accessible from anywhere in the Midwest, North or South as the house is located less than 15 minutes from the Western Kentucky Parkway, one of the major interstates in this part of the country.
The double lot and home we have for sale is located on Berry Heights Lane in front of the the Berry Heights Subdivision. The mailing address is Falls of Rough, Kentucky. The 2 nearest grown communities are actually Leitchfield and Hardinsburg. These are fabulous lots with a gentle slope from back to front, just like you would like. This is a very developed, mature area and these two side by side lots have mature trees and landscaping which you will see in photos further down in the ad. All of the roads in this area are nice and well maintained. The lots together measure approx 83.2'x 250'x 175'x 250feet and combined are aprox one acre. That is ample size to build your large, dream garage or even another home. We will only sell these 2 great lots as a pair since we realize that owning corner property allowing the privacy and views that these do is a rare and desirable, once in a lifetime opportunity.
Lakefront lots and homes on Rough River Lake sell for several hundred thousands of dollars. Certainly the high cost of lakefront property just makes this home and property located very near the lake that much more attractive to buyers. There are very few lots left of this quality, in this very desirable area, that are located this close to the lake. Frankly, just like lakefront, it probably won't be many years until undeveloped adjoining lots near the lake like these will either be priced out of reach or just plain unavailable. If you are local or have visited the lake area recently, you know this is very true. I know of no comparable lots for sale in this immediate area. This home is in a great location. It is located across the park from the state maintained marina and just a few miles to the FIFTH top rated golf course in KY. There are several other Marinas in the area. There are also many smaller loading ramps throughout the lake area so you can get right to where the fish are.
How much do I love this area? The scenery, area and people can't be beat. I have a motorcycle and I have found NO OTHER place in this COUNTRY that offer the quiet, scenic rides that are available here. This is truely an all around spot to live. Neighbors have always been there when I needed help or just wanted to sit on a Sunday afternoon grilling and watching the buzzards circling overhead on the thermals that rise from the dam area. Then, at night I sit in the spa and watch the sun decend into a glorious riot of colors. Every once in a while we manage to spy deer in the yard nibbling on acorns that have fallen off the trees. If fishing, hunting, biking, walking, boating, golfing or just relaxing is your sport you'll be right at home here.
I will give you as much info on the lot and house as I can including a couple of short movies. Below that, I will give you some general information on the lake and the area. Please call or email Dottie Watson of Real Deal Realty if you would like more info. Her number is 270-668-3731, call anytime.

As you can see, this lot is ready for building. This saves you hundreds of $$$.
Fire department is just down the road and a hydrant is in the front yard, helping to keep down insurance costs...
The above map shows you the relationship of the home and lot to the Lake. The Lake is located right across the Highway, just a couple of hundred yards from the front of the house.
The above map gives you a good idea of the area immediately surrounding the home & double lot. As you can see, the house is located just off the lake and borders Rough River State Resort. You should note, there are several beaches and campgrounds within the area of this map. I have only shown the nearest one. Of special note, Rough River Resort is home to the State Lodge with fine enough eating to bring several planes flying in on weekends just to eat there! It is truly a beautiful resort.
Of special note, THESE LOTS ARE NOT PART OF A PLANNED COMMUNITY that usually have Home Owner Association fees. So much of the land you see on eBay are these so called "planned communities" that charge anywhere from hundreds of dollars on up each year just to own the property. Not these lots. These lots are just in a normal, residential, lake area subdivision. You pay only your regular taxes to own these lots. My current annual tax for the house and the DOUBLE lot combined is under $1000 per year. THAT IS ALL YOU PAY. No P.O.A, H.O.A, S.I.D, or any other kind of hidden fees to own the lots. Investors, you know lakefront properties and properties near large lakes have all but dried up. At larger lakes such as Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, the prices have gotten so inflated that getting in now means buying at the high end. This would be an incredible asset to slip into your portfolio for a few years. To that end, it's great knowing you don't have any additional fees to pay on top of these very affordable taxes.
There are many activities near to this great location. Above is a map showing some of them. There is the State Resort with it's many assets, the historic Falls of Rough Area, the 18 hole putt-putt course, the nine hole par 3 at the Lake and the 18 hole Layfette Golf Course. Also, there's Camping, the Lodge, airstrip, and of course the clean Lake area itself.
You can see from the above photo and the area map above just how close these lots are to the marina and how close they are to the lake. Just a perfect location if you don't want to spend the hundreds of thousands to millions it takes to actually have one of the lakefront homes. Most builders are asking in the $90 to $100 per square foot range for a new home. A ready built home is a great way to get more space for less bucks. Not to mention that they often contain better quality building materials. This area has not been greatly affected by the recent down turn in the real estate market as lake area properties do not tend to fluctuate in the same way other properties do. Since the prices here are EXTREMELY REASONABLE when compared to other parts of the country for this type of property, this is still a great place to buy and invest in real estate. Owning property near the Lake never goes "out of style".
The Rough River Area is a golf lover's dream. There are several courses in Breckinridge County and they are open to the public a majority of the time. There is also a beautiful 9 hole executive style course at Rough River State Resort Park within walking distance of the property. Layfette is rated 5th in the top 18 courses in KY. Lafayette has Bermuda tees and fairways, leading to medium and large bent grass greens, where you will find moderate undulation and tiers. All forms of hazards can be found. Ponds, creeks and sand. The course has many features and from the back tees it can be QUITE challenging. Many holes are cut through mature wooded areas with rolling terrain. Lafayette is quite beautiful and difficult. You will love it! The rates in the area are super reasonable. So as you can see, you will never lack for new and exciting golf challenges in this area. There are
Rough River Lake is over 5,000 acres with wooded hills, located in Grayson, Breckinridge and Hardin counties. Rough River Lake was authorized by flood control act of 1938, construction was initiated in November 1955 and the project became operational in June 1961.
Benjamin Sebastian, A Revolutionary War solider built a water - powered grist mill and sawmill at Falls of Rough in 1813. Mr. Sebastian was a prominent political figure serving as a judge on the first Kentucky Supreme Court from 1772 to 1806. In 1829 Sebastian sold the property to Willis Green, who served two terms in Congress. Today the Green farm is known as LaFayette Golf Resort, the Falls at the farm is where the name "Falls of Rough" came from.

In addition, Rough River is close enough that you can easily commute from the lake to any of the three major cities that surround it (Louisville, Bowling Green and Owensboro). The nearby smaller cities of Leitchfield, Hardinsburg and Elizabethtown each have many of the accomdations that their larger cousins share. We have both worked in Owensboro over ten years. There are very good hospitals in each city covering many specilizations as well. Each has great restaurants including my favorite, Montana Grill, which specializes in great food and good old fashion, service with a smile. Speaking of which, Family Pizza is locally owned and quite simply, have the best pizza there is, and they deliver. Yummmmm. Bet you didn't think you would find that in West Kentucky! I could go on and on about events like the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, the International Bar-B-Q Festival in Owensboro or the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green AND all the events in the smaller towns but it would make this a very long website indeed. Simply put, this is an area you really need to consider if you are looking to simply enjoy life like it "used to be" while having all of the conveniences of modern living. Below you will find a little more info on the Lake and the area. They really are special. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like more info on any of the things contained in this ad.
 | Nothing would be complete without Bill Monroe's birthplace of ROSINE being mentioned. Every Year the Jerusalem Ridge Bluegrass Celebration is held in this little Ky town which is a short drive from Rough River. Drawing thousands of vistors, it is an event of a lifetime in itself. Dances every Friday night at the Barn Jamboree keep the downhome spirit alive. |
