Minnie, Kentucky is a small, unincorporated community in Floyd County named, according to local record, because a large share of its first settlers were miners — a straightforward nod to the coal industry that shaped this stretch of eastern Kentucky for generations. Set along Kentucky Route 122 in the rugged hills of Floyd County, the community remains quiet and close-knit today. On 6 wooded acres in this same secluded corner of Appalachia, a four-bedroom brick home at 8246 State Highway 122 is now listed at $200,000.
A Solid Brick Home With Real Space
Built in 1970, this 3,000-square-foot brick home offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms across two levels, with hardwood, carpet, and vinyl flooring throughout. Double-pane windows help with energy efficiency, and forced-air heating pairs with central air conditioning for year-round comfort. A two-car attached garage and additional asphalt parking round out the practical details, and a front covered porch gives the home a place to take in its wooded surroundings.
A Large In-Ground Pool on a Private Blacktop Drive
This is where the listing really stands out. A large in-ground pool anchors the outdoor space — a genuine rarity for a rural property in this part of Kentucky — and the home is accessed via a privately owned blacktop driveway, a detail worth noting given how many rural properties in the region rely on gravel access. The listing describes spacious outdoor areas throughout the secluded, wooded 6-acre setting.
The Practical Details
The home connects to public water and public sewer — both genuine conveniences for a property this far into the hills. Cable service is available on-site. The property is zoned residential with no HOA to navigate.

Why Minnie
Minnie sits in Floyd County, deep in the Appalachian coalfields of eastern Kentucky, close to the larger community of Prestonsburg and its Jenny Wiley State Resort Park, known for its lake, golf course, and outdoor theater. The area’s identity remains closely tied to its mining heritage, even as the region has diversified its economy in recent decades. For a buyer looking for a genuinely private, wooded property with real amenities like an in-ground pool and paved access, Minnie offers a rare combination of seclusion and comfort in the heart of coal country.
