11366 Wilson Rd, Independence, KY 41051

This unique property is just waiting for its opportunity to shine! A rural oasis conveniently located a mile from the urban amenities of Independence's Town Center, this solid two-story 1860s brick farmhouse is surrounded by mature maple and black walnut trees (which can be harvested seasonally), peaceful pastures, and bordered by two converging creeks. The yard is great for entertaining and features a stone patio, an outdoor soaking tub, a fire pit constructed of stones from the Ohio River, and the remains of an English perennial garden. The interior renovation has been started, revealing the incredible history of this home including original wood floors, hand-cut beams, and exposed brick walls. Allegedly, the property was the homestead of the Wilson family, early settlers of the area, and their original log cabin is the kitchen (aka ''cookhouse''). Best of all, this historic house sits on 1.7 acres in unrestricted Kenton County, so you can raise chickens, cultivate a large garden or tend bee hives! Don't miss the chance to own this piece of Kenton County history and your own slice of Heaven!
