Estill County, KY Intelligence

Estill County straddles the Bluegrass-Appalachia transition on the Kentucky River, with Irvine (40336) as the seat and Ravenna (40472) — a historic L&N railroad hub — as its second town. The economy runs on small manufacturing, healthcare through Marcum & Wallace, ag, and the Daniel Boone National Forest recreation trade to the south. Auction inventory is modest but consistent, with Irvine carrying the bulk and Ravenna adding a handful of tighter-priced lots.
