Exclusive 2-Week Kentucky Modern Gun Season Block – 178 Unpressured Acres Location: Springfield in Washington County, KY (Central Bluegrass Region – 1 hour from Lexington & Louisville) Acreage: 178 Contiguous Acres (138 Harvested Soybeans, 40 Woods/Thickets/Water) 2026 Season Dates: November 14 – November 29, 2026 (Exclusive 16-Day Block) Price: $8,500 Flat Rate (Maximum of 7 Hunters for Ultimate Exclusivity) The Property & Habitat Breakdown Nestled prominently in Washington County's historic agrarian community, with an easy one-hour drive from both Lexington and Louisville, this 178-acre legacy property offers a rare opportunity to hunt a pristine, high-yield Central Bluegrass tract. The land features an ideal "edge-effect" habitat layout specifically optimized for trophy whitetail success: * 138 Acres of Harvested Soybeans & Adjoining Corn Acreage: This massive combination of surrounding corn and on-site beans creates a giant, free natural feeding network that draws and holds whitetails from miles around. The deer are out there getting fat on these beans and neighboring corn right now—no bait needed. * 40 Acres of Heavy Cover & Sanctuary: Wrapping around the crop fields are dense thickets with mature trees, heavy brush, and natural travel corridors that create perfect bedding grounds and travel lanes for mature Bluegrass bucks. * On-Site Water Sources: The property features a permanent pond and seasonal creek beds cutting through the timber, providing essential water access and diverse hunting strategies right next to prime bedding lines. Below the pond dam is a concrete water trough that draws deer and wildlife. * Proven Herd History: The varied terrain allows for versatile whitetail hunting strategies, from tree-stand placement in the wooded corridors and travel lanes to high-visibility field-edge setups. Strict "Zero-Pressure" Legacy Dirt This property has been in our family for many decades and has been actively deer hunted only a couple of times in the last 15 years by a close family friend (who only took a single doe in 2020). There has been virtually zero hunting pressure put on the herds living in the thickets. To preserve this elite, calm nature, this property is locked down year-round. We do not lease this ground for early archery, crossbow, or muzzleloader seasons. The deer herd will be completely relaxed and on their natural daylight feeding patterns when you step into the woods on opening morning. (Note on Photos: Trail cam photos are raw as cameras were just set up near the pond and I'm a novice user, so I apologize for the quality. Zoom in on the landscape shots to see the active deer population currently moving through the fields). Premium Group Amenities & Rules To maintain the integrity of the hunt, we are offering this as a premium block lease capped at a strict maximum of 7 hunters. This allows a small group of hunting partners to pool their resources for an exclusive, unpressured trophy experience. * Lodging & Off-Grid RV Option: We offer a designated staging area across the road from the 178-acre hunting lease. This area can be utilized for vehicle parking, meetups, and field dressing/processing to keep the hunting tract completely quiet, scent-free, and undisturbed. Off-grid RV parking or lodging options are available on this lot—please contact us directly for specific details, availability, and pricing. * Respecting the Land & Your Hunt (Vehicle Guidelines): To ensure your group gets the absolute most out of this unpressured tract, we ask that vehicle use on the 178-acre hunting side be kept focused and purposeful. Daily parking is across the road at the staging lot to keep your hunting ground completely silent and scent-free. While trucks and ATVs/UTVs are absolutely welcome on the hunting tract for hanging gear, checking spots, and retrieving your harvest, we ask that you stay on established field edges and farm paths. Minimizing unnecessary driving inside the tract keeps the big bucks moving during daylight hours and protects our fertile silt loam fields from deep ruts if the November weather turns wet. * Safety & Liability: All hunters must provide proof of standard HLRBO/Hunting Lease Liability Insurance before accessing the property. Booking & Payment Timeline To keep things completely fair and formally secure this exclusive 2-week block for your group, we use a strict booking schedule. Your dates are not locked in until the signed contract and initial deposit are received. * Initial Deposit: A 50% non-refundable down payment is required immediately upon lease signing to reserve the property and take the listing off the market. * Final Balance: The remaining 50% balance is due on or before November 1, 2026. Failure to clear the final balance by this date results in forfeiture of the reservation and deposit. * Insurance Requirement: Proof of a valid HLRBO/Hunting Lease Liability Insurance policy must be submitted alongside the final payment. I am really excited to work with the folks who win this lease listing. Secure an exclusive, high-probability window in the Central Kentucky rolling hills.
