Crofton, Kentucky
Tuckaway Lake
50 acres of Kentucky paradise with an 18-acre spring-fed lake, a magnificent waterfall, and one-of-a-kind grainbin gazebo
The Story
A Kentucky Legacy Reborn
Nestled in the heart of Christian County, Tuckaway Lake — historically known as the Crofton Reservoir — is a 50-acre property that has been lovingly transformed by the Tucker family into one of Kentucky's most unique recreational retreats.
The crown jewel is an 18-acre spring-fed lake, stretching over 800 feet long, with crystal-clear water fed by natural springs and crowned by a spillway that creates a breathtaking multi-tiered waterfall cascading over ancient limestone ledges.
At the water's edge sits a 30-foot grainbin gazebo with a loft and bar crafted from authentic bourbon barrels — a centerpiece for entertainment that captures the spirit of Kentucky's bourbon heritage. The property also features ATV trails, four full-service campsites, a 30×80 pole barn, and dramatic cliffs along the creek below the spillway.
