We at HalleluYah Haven at High Rock are offering for sale our beautiful and exclusive Red River Gorge sustainable homestead & equine estate. This property is an a unique jewel in the region.

Our mountain estate is comprised of 39.67 acres of premium rolling terrain with 1,000 feet of paved county road frontage. The property is a mix of approximately 25 acres of premium pasture and 15 acres of mature hardwoods forest. The primary soil base is highly fertile loam soil. There are no unusable steep elevations in the property. The property is free from any flooding issues and is not subject to severe weather threats such as hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding or earthquakes......Just a peaceful scenic hideaway.

This exclusive estate has recently undergone extensive renovations from 2021-2024, with a detailed and complete $350,000 renovation of the farmhouse, as well as over $275,000 in other property upgrades and improvements.

Starting with the three bedroom, three full bath 2,200 square foot farmhouse (3,000 square feet including the porch area), which was built in 1937 and upgraded in 2002 by the previous owner, which upgrades at the time included adding dormers, vinyl siding, new double-pane windows, rewiring the house with upgraded copper wiring, new concrete and block foundation to the pier and beam construction, new hardwood flooring and 5/8" drywall.

In 2021-2022, the farmhouse underwent a complete custom $350,000 renovation, with no expense spared and with attention to detail. The roof was replaced with titanium underlayment sheeting, premium dimensional shingles, and low-profile roof vents. Over the backside of the roof was installed a top-of-the line 15KW solar array utilizing LG solar panels and Enphase microinverter components. The panels are guaranteed to provide at least 87% of capacity at 27 years of age. There is an additional prepaid 3 year warranty and service contract on the installation labor.

Next, a 550 square foot expansion of the porch and deck area was completed, expanding the total porch and deck area to over 800 square feet to enjoy the beautiful scenery and temperate weather. The entire area was surfaced with a premium deck and porch coating.

Additionally on the exterior of the house, the vinyl siding was replaced where necessary, various new windows installed, and complete new paint and lighting fixtures.

Moving inside, custom painting was completed as well as premium plank flooring throughout. New solid wood 5" baseboards and crown molding was installed. New doors and storm doors, new 2" blinds, new dual zone Carrier HVAC heat pump systems with warranty and insulated metal ductwork in the lower zone. All new premium oil rubbed bronze lighting and ceiling fixtures, as well as hardware fixtures. A high efficiency Hearthstone soapstone premium wood burning stove was installed with a 2500 square foot heating capacity. The master suite, with ensuite bath received French doors opening onto the deck, along with a new travertine marble walk-in shower. The gourmet inspired kitchen with adjoining butler's pantry received a new hardwood island/breakfast bar, built-in refrigerator and cabinets, extensive cabinet upgrades, custom-built workspace, premium stainless steel appliances and all new granite countertops with a stainless steel farmhouse sink. As the centerpiece of this beautiful Kentucky mountain farmhouse, this gourmet kitchen is ready to be the place of culinary inspiration for many years to come.

Moving from the kitchen.....the formal dining room, laundry room, and bathrooms were all fully renovated, with new granite countertops, upgraded vanities with copper sinks, and premium fixtures. A new hot water heater was installed in 11/2024, along with premium Samsung washer and dryer in 2024. On to the second floor.....the hardwood stairs have been refinished. The large second bedroom with sitting area and dual closets is great for larger guest groups or a larger family. The large second floor full bath is absolutely bright and beautiful. The hall closet on the second floor is quite large and fully finished out and allows for a lot of storage space if so desired. Additionally we have the third bedroom with walk-in closet as well as a full-spectrum 2-person infrared sauna with lifetime warranty.

In summary, the main farmhouse was built with materials that is hard to find these days.....1" solid oak roof decking; 7" thick insulated interior and exterior walls with full dimension cedar studs and 1" hardwood underlayment on both sides. The energy efficiency, sound proofing and structural integrity of the home is of the utmost quality.

The solar system has been upsized from the normal 10kw size for this type of home to 15kw to provide for ample electrical production even on overcast days, as well as surplus energy to other structures and uses on the property.

The furniture was purchased specifically for the farmhouse (except for like new furniture in the second bedroom which was previously purchased) and can additionally be sold along with the house.

Moving to the outside of this beautiful mountain estate.....

The property has approximately 1,000 feet of road frontage on the scenic High Rock Road in the Red River Gorge. This road is one of the most popular scenic byways in the Red River Gorge region and hosts critically acclaimed short-term rental locations such as The Cabins at Birch Hollow, the High Rock Hideaway, and the Hive at High Rock....the latter two across the street from our HalleluYah Haven at High Rock estate.

Upon entering the property from High Rock Road one is immediately inspired by the scenic bluegrass valley with black hardwood plank equine fencing and lake to the right, as well as a central artesian spring fed lake nestled in the mountaintop valley that is the heart of this beautiful estate. A perfect equine location that easily supports at least 8 horses (or other livestock and animals) without the need to supplement feed due to the lush, improved chemical-free organic pastures with pristine mountain artesian spring water. To the right is the 50' by 50' Kentucky hardwood tobacco barn built in 2008, and recently updated with new paint and roof coating in 2023, a 1,200 square foot second floor mezzanine (increasing the total barn floor space to 3,700 square feet) that can be easily finished out to a nice barndominium or other multi-use or event space, and a 50' x 50' reinforced concrete floor. Additionally, 200 amp electrical service and water service was installed in 2024. The barn is designed with two large interior parking areas with high clearance doors and that can easily accommodate two up to 48' large coach motorhomes or 5th wheel trailers, as well as a large multi-use area in the the center part of the barn. Next to the barn is a 10' x 50' concrete slab that can be used for equipment or RV storage, or enclosed for additional living quarters. Also next to the barn is a new full-size sand volleyball court. Around the tobacco barn is a large improved parking and work area with a deep rock and DGA base to accommodate heavy vehicles without soil erosion issues.
Proceeding along the newly improved 1,100 foot driveway leading from High Rock Road to the farmhouse we come to the farmhouse parking area with a beautiful Mediterranean inspired water fountain and ample room to park various guest vehicles. Between the lake and the house is a new firepit social area with custom cedar furniture that can seat up to 16 people. Nearby is a beautiful 12' x 18' Amish gazebo with built-in bench seating. Behind the gazebo is a 100 year old scenic rustic hardwood animal and tobacco barn. This barn is unique in these days, being comprised of the extinct local chestnut planking, as well as walnut, maple, oak, and poplar woods.

The lake is fed by the same 100+ year old artesian spring that feeds pristine water to the farmhouse. The water in the lake is frequently crystal clear and is home to many trophy-sized largemouth
