Tract#5 3673 Gott Hydro Rd. Oakland Ky. 42159. This 10 acre tract of land is locted at the dead end of Elys Franklin Road and is the perfect setting for what is know as the Elrod House. This home is rich in local history and beginning in the 1800s the Elrod Family built the cabin portion of the home from mostly raw meterials taken from the land. Then the larger portion was added later around 1856 by the younger Elrod son.

The reflection of German building influences can be found in the cabin notching, the wooden pegging and the hand molded & kilned brick work. Along with hand hewn & crafted finish lumber, all creating the sturdy frame of this 200 year old home.
As a testament to their labor & skill, she has survived the early & wild days of Kentucky statehood, the Civil War,
the penny auctions of the Great Depression, and every war every fought. Standing unshaken, housing generations of
people.

Some of the orals of this property range from a visit from Jessie James after he robbed the bank at Smiths Grove, Ky to Civil War prisoners being marched in front of the house on their way to Camp Andersonville.

The current owners cherish the time they have spent and the love for this unique home but are ready to move on and let a new owner enjoy their time and leave their mark in history with the Elrod Home.

Features of this 2 story home include almost 4,000 sq. ft. of living space with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 2 family rooms and a living room.
