This is where Sky Ridge changes personality. As the road leaves the more open portion of the development and enters the woods, Lot 11 settles into a secluded setting surrounded by mature trees, natural rock and cliffs.

Wooded Wonder is a surveyed 0.844-acre lot with a prepared cabin site and access toward the Daniel Boone National Forest below. It feels private, but you are still part of a thoughtfully planned gated development with maintained roads, trails and amenities instead of being completely on your own in the woods.

For an STR buyer, privacy and natural features give you plenty to build a guest experience around. Existing rental cabins within Sky Ridge are already producing well, and this lot has the ingredients people come to the area looking for-woods, rock formations, trails and quiet. For an owner-occupant or second-home buyer, the same qualities make it easy to imagine shutting the gate behind you for the weekend and disappearing for a while.

City water, underground electric and high-speed internet are available to the lot. Community features include Sky Ridge Overlook, Sky View Park and the Boulder Trail. Adventure Waters and Cast Away Fishing Pond are both under construction as the development continues to add recreational options.

Cave Run Lake and Red River Gorge are both nearby, and the development borders Daniel Boone National Forest. A separate pay lake being built across the road is not part of Sky Ridge Retreats but will add another nearby place to spend an afternoon.

Wooded Wonder feels like a mountain cabin site should-quiet, wooded and surrounded by things you cannot manufacture.
