Say hello to this little slice of heaven on Earth that can now be yours! Planted on the 11.21-acre spread of land is an orchard with approximately 1,766 trees that have been meticulously cultivated by its very own Certified Pommelier and founder of Holy Beez Orchard & Cidery. In fact... this hard cidery has been under the watch of the only Certified Pommelier of the American Cider Association in the state which has helped the orchard to produce a remarkable variety of this prized fruit. This top-quality variety includes (but not limited to) Harrison, Winesap, Franklin, Grimes Golden, Golden Russet, Hewes Crab, King David, Winecrisp, Puget Spice, Burford Pear, Black Limbertwig, Myers Royal Limbertwig, Horse, Golden Hornet, Reine de Pomme, Dolgo, Nehou, Le Bret, Redfield, Amere de Berthcourt, and Ashmead's Kernel which are all featured in the award-winning "Holy Beez" cider produced by the Wise Bird Cider Co. as part of their Kentucky growers series. Speaking of awards... these apples produced ciders that stood up to the competition at GLINTCAP (The world's largest international cider competition) and took home one Bronze Medal in 2016, two Bronze Medals in 2019, two Silver Medals and three Bronze Medals in 2020, and one Gold Medal, one Silver Medal, and one Bronze Medal in 2022. Talk about a successful orchard! The orchard also has a 28' X 48' milk barn that includes a 10' X 14' walk-in cooler and other modifications to easily convert the barn into a processing facility for the hard cidery... Plus an 8-bay 115' X 24' machinery shed that is perfect for storing all of the equipment associated with a cidery. Speaking of which... be sure to inquire about what equipment stays and is for sale. Then to sweeten the deal even more... there is also an adorable homestead providing a home base while working the orchard or offering a one-of-a-kind Airbnb experience for wandering guests as they travel through the Bourbon Trail. The home embraces that comforting farmhouse feel and features a delightful open living room/kitchen concept, 2 bedrooms, a full bath exhibiting more of that farmhouse charm, and a utility room with a handy washing station. Rounding out the home is an attached garage complete with a storage loft. When it's time to relax... make your way over to the covered rear porch to take in those stunning views and admire the fruits of your labor. This is truly a unique property with lots of potential to be the apple of your eye in your portfolio. So, call IRVIN ABELL to tap into that potential today! ***NOTE: WE DO NOT PAY COMMISSION ON SELLER PAID CLOSING COSTS AND PRE-PAID ITEMS***
