It is beautiful. Too warm for us as well. That's why we moved to the Upper Penninsula this spring. Then they have record breaking temps! 
There are some similarly priced parcels up here. Just a shorter growing season for crops.

Bluegrass State
I live within 60 miles of the first 5 of those listings. Have my entire life. Yes, it was 96 degrees today and fairly (60%) humid, but we only have that around 30 days out of 365, really not that bad! The listings you found look great, however, I recall 3 that were in Central City area, that means strip mine reclamation or nearby. Remember the song "Daddy won't you take down to Muhlenburg County........I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking Mr. Peabody's coal train done hauled it away", well, it's $1400 an acre after the train done gone! The Hart County properties are actually in a nice region. Just in a somewhat economically deprived (But not by Muhlenburg County standards) area, tourism (And craft sales) rule up there now that tobacco is over. KY really is a pleasant place to live. Weather gets a worse reputation than it deserves. Come on down, we like good neighbors!

Anything over 75 degrees with low humidity is to warm for me! I actually prefer it to be between 65 - 70 degrees.  I've often joked with my wife that when I got to old to deal with the winters up here I would buy a winter home in the tropics of kentucky. FL and AZ would kill me even in the wintertime.

We moved to S.Central Ky. from the U.P. of Michigan. Give me snow any day. We have killed 7 copperheads withing 20 ft. of the front porch in the past 2 wks. (please don't flame me about killing them. I am going blind and they pose quite a threat for me) The snakes, coupled with temps in the 90s with horrible humidity makes for miserable summers. But, it is BEAUTIFUL.

I moved to eastern Ky 3 years ago from south La and the weather here is pleasant. Compared to La, the humidity is lower, the heat doesn't last nearly as long and there are hardly any mosquitos. We had more species of venemous snakes in La. But the food here in Ky cannot begin to compare to the food from the bayou. It is impossible to find good seafood here. So everything is a trade off. We love it here in Ky and hope to live out our days here. (As long as we can make runs home to get seafood)

What part of the UP are you from? We just moved to the Marquette area.

AZ in the winter is GREAT. We were there last winter and I did my Christmas shopping in flipflops.
Now, about Michigan: they don't have snakes there?
Kentucky and land prices: yep. That's what I've been telling Jnap............. :baby04:
Kentucky is gorgeous BUT, I cannot say I like the humidity or the snakes found in rural areas!

We lived 30 miles north of Marquette right outside of Big Bay. We had a beautiful homestead near the Huron Mts. We lived there for 15 years and after the last 2 years where we had over 250" of snow each winter we decided to try something else. I regret it and would move back, however land prices in that area have really gone sky high. Live and learn. I do like some things about living here, but I will never make a fine, genteel southern woman!

I think every part of the country offers its challenges and benefits. When our Northern friends talk about mosquitoes being their state/provincial bird in the Summer months, they mean it!! In the parts of the South not in a coastal plain, the weather tends to be hotter in the Summer, but a little drier probably than up North. Maybe because of our drought this year as much as anything else, I haven't seen a mosquito all Summer...but the wasps and yellow jackets are thriving.
As for working in the heat, well I hate it too. I had much rather work in cooler weather than hot, but I acclimate and hydrate and it all works out. You also learn to work in the cooler parts of the morning/afternoon, and Dad always taught us to "work with the shade". It makes a big difference.
Kentucky, Tennessee,and most of the South provides a great working environment in the Winter. I'll get much more done outside in the those months.
Don't let a month or so of heat scare you. If you find a good deal on a farm in a good community, go for it.

Kentucky is hot humid and hazy, lots of snakes, ticks etc. Please don't consider moving here. It'll drive up the land prices and raise our taxes.
just kidding

We are traveling to Kentucky here in the next few weeks...........any advice on what parts to travel to? We are looking to relocate and it's narrowed down to Kentucky and North Carolina. My boys are wanting to scope out Kentucky first before we come to a family decision of where to move to. Ohio is really taking a beating with losing so many jobs..........

I'm familiar with Hart County and Muhlenburg County. Hart County has really pretty countryside, Hart County Realty does a LOT of advertising and sells to a lot of people out of state. Not a lot of employment in Hart County itself, but it is surrounded by several good sized cities with jobs. Muhlenburg County is not nearly as attractive (just my .02)but the county does make out well with all the "coal money" that gets poured into it. The property listed can probably be had for less, a lot of land there is reclaimed or pretty much "hollers" .

S.Central Ky. has a lot for sale. Prices are reasonable compared to nationwide. If I see one more copperhead this week you can have our place!

It's too "everything" for everybody. Go find a nice place in Kansas or Arkansas or BC.
Too Green for city folks
Too Over priced for poor folks
Too Agricultural for non farmers
Too Wooded for farmers
Too Awash with redneck hillbillies
Too Yankiefied for most folks
New state license plate just says "GO AWAY"
CDC announced the temperature and other natural factors in Kentucky will make it a bird flu sanctuary. It advises folks to look for property in some other state, like say for instance Indiana. They play basketball there also.
Did you know the last president that was born in Kentucky was Abe Lincoln, and he got shot!! Now, do you want your kid to grow up to be president and take the chance on him getting shot?? Indeed, I think not. So, for your health, wealth, and the safety of your children find another state in this great union to move to.
Thank you in advance, now git.
