Sell Land in Madison County, KY

Land We Look At in Madison County

• Pasture and farm ground

  Open fields in the northern and western parts of the county have carried cattle, hay and row crops for generations.

• Wooded knobs and hillside tracts

  Hardwood ridges near Berea and to the east suit hunters, timber owners and buyers looking for privacy.

• Homesite acreage

  Parcels near Richmond and Berea with road frontage are often considered for rural homesites.

Local Notes

• Richmond is the county seat and home to Eastern Kentucky University.
• Berea, Kirksville, Waco and Union City are other communities, and Berea is home to Berea College.
• Interstate 75, U.S. 25 and U.S. 421 are the main routes.
• The Kentucky River marks the northern edge of the county, and Fort Boonesborough State Park sits along it.
• Land uses include pasture, row crops, timber and rural homesites.

Growth Areas

Interstate 75 crosses the county between Richmond and Berea, and U.S. 25 and U.S. 421 are other main routes. Land near Richmond and the interstate interchanges tends to draw more homesite and commercial interest than land farther out.

Terrain, Flood and Zoning Notes

The terrain runs from gently rolling Bluegrass to steeper wooded hills in the east. The Kentucky River forms the northern boundary of the county, and floodplain along it and along smaller creeks can limit building. Richmond and Berea zone their own land, and county rules apply elsewhere.

General information only. Confirm zoning and flood status for a specific parcel with the county.

County Resources

Property records in Kentucky come from two county offices: the county clerk, who records deeds, and the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA), who handles assessments. Both can be reached through the county offices in Richmond. These official sources can also help with parcel research:

• Madison County government
• Kentucky Department of Revenue, Property Valuation (property tax and PVA information)
• USDA Web Soil Survey (soil maps for any parcel)

These are public government resources. We are not affiliated with them.
