A 128-acre stretch of Wild Dog Creek in the Kentucky mountains comes with two waterfalls, three creeks and no neighbors in sight.

Brad Simmons has walked a lot of Kentucky land for the Bluegrass Team, but the Wild Dog Creek tract is the kind of parcel he built the business around. In the video, Simmons and his son Hunter hike the 128-acre property on foot, cataloging the creeks, the timber and the two waterfalls that make the site stand out even by Appalachian standards. The tract sits inside the 708,000-acre Daniel Boone National Forest, near Tyner and Owsley County, and it’s being marketed as both a recreational retreat and a straightforward land-flipping investment.

• The 128-acre Wild Dog Creek property features three running creeks, two large natural waterfalls, and roughly 40 acres of cleared meadow suitable for cabins or a rental compound.
• The land already has electric power on-site despite its off-grid, secluded location, and it borders the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail inside the Daniel Boone National Forest.
• Marketable hardwood timber on the property includes trees exceeding 30 inches in diameter at breast height (DBH), adding resale and harvest value beyond the recreational appeal.

Walking the Wild Dog Creek Tract

Simmons frames the walkthrough as a land-flipping case study as much as a listing tour. He and Hunter move through dense hardwood cover before breaking into the open meadow acreage, pointing out how the roughly 40 cleared acres could support several cabins or a small rental compound without touching the timbered sections. Photographer Cathy Mosier’s images of the larger of the two falls anchor the video’s visual pitch, giving buyers a look at water features that most rural Kentucky listings simply don’t have.

The property’s three creeks cut through the tract year-round, and the terrain mixes craggy stream banks with stretches of level pasture — a combination Simmons highlights as rare for acreage in this price range. He also notes the practical detail that separates this parcel from a lot of true wilderness listings: grid electric is already run to the site, meaning a buyer building a cabin or retreat isn’t starting from zero on infrastructure.

Timber, Wildlife and the National Forest Setting

Beyond the water features, Simmons pitches the standing timber as a real commercial asset. Large hardwoods on the property exceed 30 inches DBH, sizable enough for a marketable harvest if a future owner wanted to log select stands rather than just hold the land. The tract’s location inside the Daniel Boone National Forest corridor, adjacent to the Sheltowee Trace, puts it in prime territory for deer, turkey and other game, and the video leans into hunting, hiking, camping, and ATV or horseback trail access as the property’s everyday-use case.

Three creeks, two waterfalls, 40 open acres and power already on-site — on 128 secluded acres inside the Daniel Boone National Forest.

The Land-Flipping Angle

What separates this video from a standard listing walkthrough is Simmons’ framing of the property as a land-flipping opportunity rather than just a homesite. He treats the acreage as raw material — cleared fields for building lots, marketable timber for harvest revenue, and waterfall frontage as the differentiator that can move a buyer off the fence. That combination of use cases mirrors the kind of off-grid, build-your-own approach covered in Building an Off Grid Woodworking Workshop Log Cabin in the Forest, where raw acreage becomes a functioning homestead piece by piece.

For buyers weighing a similarly remote, self-sufficient setup, the appeal isn’t just the scenery — it’s the flexibility. Land like this can be split into a personal retreat, a hunting lease, a timber sale, or rental cabin sites, and Simmons’ pitch leans on all four simultaneously. Anyone drawn to that kind of low-infrastructure living off a trail system will recognize the same trade-offs discussed in Living a Radically Simple Permaculture Life on 1/4 Acre, just scaled up to 128 acres of Kentucky mountainside.

Interested buyers are directed straight to agent Hunter Simmons at the Bluegrass Team, and given the property’s frontage on National Forest gravel roads and its spot along the Sheltowee Trace corridor, it’s the kind of listing that tends to move fast among hunters and cabin builders who know the Red River Gorge area well. If it sells before the next video drops, don’t expect Brad and Hunter to slow down — there’s always another tract with a creek and a waterfall waiting to get the same walkthrough treatment.
