Scenic countryside near Lexington and Winchester
Seventeen miles from Lexington and 7 miles from the smaller city of Winchester, Becknerville is an unincorporated rural community offering proximity to urban amenities. "Becknerville is one of the best places to live in Clark County," says Clark County property valuation administrator (PVA) Jada Brady. "It gives you the best of both worlds because it's very close and convenient to both Winchester and Lexington, and it has some of the prettiest countryside you'll see in all of central Kentucky." Brady prefers Clark County to the other places she's lived because of the sense of community she's found — and she encourages new residents to become involved in any way they can. "Even before I was the PVA for the county, I still knew I could get in touch with the people who ran the county and be able to participate and feel like I was heard," she says. "I've lived all over the country, and if I had my choice, I would still live here. It feels like home."

Newly built subdivisions near Winchester and sprawling, multiacre estates
Residential real estate in Becknerville consists of subdivisions and developments featuring single-family homes, as well as larger estates on private multi-acre lots. The neighborhood's northeast corner has several rapidly growing subdivisions with recently built and to-be-built New Traditional brick and stone homes. "Clark County's population has remained pretty steady, but it's growing now. We're seeing growth," Brady explains. In terms of land mass, most of Becknerville is taken up by larger lots, "Four acres and up is typical, but there are some huge farms out that way, too." People move here because they're looking for a rural ambiance that's still close to amenities — in this case near both Winchester and Lexington — and to pay less property taxes than they would in the city. "Fayette County's property taxes are a bit higher than ours, but the counties bordering us to the east are a bit lower. We're right about in the middle," says Brady. Because of the range of listing types in Becknerville, prices vary greatly. An undeveloped acre lot typically lists for around $100,000, while single-family homes in subdivisions can range from $200,000 to $800,000, depending primarily on the home's size and age. Multi-acre private properties with large estate homes can run from $1 to $2 million.

Those interested in staying for the weekend can settle in at one of the park's 166 campsites that include electricity and water hookups, before exploring the park's half-mile walking trail. The park is also home to the Kentucky River Museum, which showcases the lifestyle of those who constructed this river's locks and dams in the 1900s. Within Becknerville, the Clark County Fish & Game Club is a private club used for hunting and fishing. Six miles east, the Southwind Golf Course is a public 18-hole, par-71 course with a sports bar and restaurant.
