Tucked away in the breathtaking Red Lick Valley, Snug Hollow Farm & Retreat offers something truly extraordinary — 290 acres of unspoiled Appalachian beauty paired with a fully operational, income-producing hospitality retreat. Located just one hour from Lexington, this private hollow feels worlds away, offering peace, privacy, and a deep connection to nature that’s increasingly hard to find.
At the heart of the property is a thoughtfully designed bed and breakfast compound featuring six charming cabins, totaling nearly 10,000 square feet of furnished living space. With the ability to host up to 32 guests each night, this established retreat is built for both comfort and efficiency. Each cabin operates independently with its own cistern, UV-filtered water system, septic system, and natural gas service — a rare level of infrastructure that supports seamless operations.
The main farmhouse adds even more versatility, offering approximately 3,500 square feet with two full kitchens, private owner’s quarters, and three additional rental spaces. Whether used as a personal residence, guest accommodations, or a combination of both, this space enhances the property’s flexibility and income potential.
One of the newest additions, the Heart of the Holler retreat center, was completed in 2025 and brings even more opportunity to the estate. This 2,500 square foot dual-residence structure connects to over 800 square feet of covered porch space, creating the perfect setting for group retreats, gatherings, and immersive experiences surrounded by nature.
What truly sets Snug Hollow apart is its reputation. Featured in major national publications and consistently top-rated by guests, this property has built a loyal following and a proven track record of hospitality income. It’s not just a place to stay — it’s a destination people return to again and again.
The land itself is just as impressive as the structures. With over four miles of established trails, guests can explore old-growth forests, wildflower meadows, and thriving wildlife habitats. A spring-fed pond, handcrafted walking labyrinth, and abundant native flora — including more than 80 species of birds — create an environment that feels both restorative and inspiring. This is a property that invites you to slow down, reconnect, and experience the natural world in a meaningful way.
For those seeking something even more unique, the property has demonstrated helicopter accessibility, with past guests flying in and landing on-site. This opens the door for future helipad development and adds a distinctive appeal for high-end clientele.
With no zoning restrictions and extensive infrastructure already in place, the possibilities here are wide open. Snug Hollow could continue as a thriving hospitality business, evolve into a private family compound, serve as a wedding or event destination, or expand into a wellness retreat or mixed-use development. Adding to its value, all mineral rights convey, and the property is eligible for investment through a Qualified Opportunity Fund.
Snug Hollow Farm & Retreat is more than a property — it’s a legacy. A place where natural beauty, thoughtful design, and meaningful experiences come together to create something truly irreplaceable. Opportunities like this don’t come around often.
This exceptional property is sold fully furnished with immediate revenue in place, offering a seamless transition for its next steward.
