About This Property
Cedar, Stone & Sky
Some homes are built. Others are composed. This 1972 A-frame on approximately 11 private wooded acres in Paintsville is one of the latter. Step inside the great room and the architecture announces itself: roughly 1,000 square feet of open space beneath soaring cedar ceilings that climb nearly 25 feet, a two-story wall of windows pulling the forest indoors, skylights overhead, a stone natural gas fireplace anchoring the room, and hardwood floors underfoot. Four bedrooms and two full baths fill out the floor plan, including a primary suite with double closets and a remodeled bath featuring new tile, a walk-in shower, and a large soaking tub. The upstairs bath includes a comfort-height toilet and grab bars by the toilet and in the shower.
Outside, the property unfolds into a retreat. An in-ground 10-foot diving pool with diving board sits alongside a screened pool house, a new front deck built in 2026, a side deck, and a patio, all surrounded by the kind of privacy that only deep wooded acreage can offer. A 3-car detached garage with an extended bay provides ample room for vehicles, equipment, or workshop space. An additional outbuilding rounds out the outstructures.
Mechanically, this home has been thoughtfully maintained. Recent updates include a newer roof (approximately 2023), new roofs on the garage and pool house (2026), an approximately 3-year-old water heater, new water and gas lines from the street, underground electric, and a new disposal. Natural gas heat, central air, city water, and septic are all in place. Sold as-is, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Eastern Kentucky's most distinctive homes, the kind of property that simply does not come along often.

The Area
Life Around Paintsville
Paintsville is the county seat of Johnson County, situated in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains along the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River. It is a small, tight-knit community with deep roots in Eastern Kentucky's culture and landscape. State parks, mountain lakes, and the storied US 23 Country Music Highway are all close at hand, and the pace of life here still moves at a rhythm that rewards slowing down.
