A Piece of Kentucky History The main house is truly something special. It was built way back in 1794. Walking through the front door feels like stepping back in time, but it still has all the modern comforts you need today. The home is huge, giving you 8,400 square feet of living space to spread out and relax.
You get eight large bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms. That means you will never run out of room for your family, and no one will ever have to wait in line to take a shower in the morning. The rooms feel very open and bright. You will find beautiful hardwood floors and multiple wood-burning fireplaces scattered throughout the house. It is so easy to picture spending cold winter nights relaxing by the fire in the living room, or having a big family breakfast in the eat-in kitchen. There is even a huge basement for extra storage or fun activities.
Features:
- Built in 1794
- Historic main residence
- 8,400 square feet
- 8 bedrooms
- 7.5 bathrooms
- Hardwood floors and wood-burning fireplaces
- Eat-in kitchen and basement
Endless Room for Guests and Hobbies Having a big main house is great, but this property offers so much more outside the main doors. If you like to host friends, extended family, or out-of-town visitors, they will love staying here. There is a complete two-story guest house right on the property. Your guests can have their own quiet space and privacy while still being just a short walk away from the main house.
But the extra buildings do not stop there. The property also comes with a completely separate studio. This would be a perfect spot for a messy art room, a quiet home office, or a peaceful place to read and write away from the main household noise. There is even a small, rustic log cabin chapel sitting on the grounds. It is a very unique touch that makes the whole place feel like its own little private village.
Features:
- 2-story guest home
- Separate studio
- Log cabin chapel
Summer Days by the Pool When the weather gets warm, this estate really shines. You do not just get a standard, small backyard pool here. The property features a massive Olympic-size pool right in the ground. It is absolutely perfect for swimming long laps early in the morning or hosting huge summer pool parties for all your friends.
Right next to the pool, there is an extraordinary pool house. It gives you a great place to get out of the hot sun, grab a cold drink, or change out of your wet clothes without tracking water into the main house. If swimming is not really your thing, you can take a slow walk through the stunning rose garden instead. The garden adds a huge pop of bright color to the green grass and smells amazing when everything is fully in bloom during the spring and summer.
Features:
- Olympic-size in-ground pool
- Extraordinary pool house
- Rose garden
A Dream Setup for Horse Lovers You simply cannot talk about a property in Lexington without talking about the land itself. This estate sits on a massive 72.18 acres. That is a whole lot of green grass, rolling hills, and open space to enjoy every single day. You get beautiful, calming views of the rural landscape and trees from almost every window in the house.
Since it is located right in the middle of the famous horse industry area, the property is fully ready for animals. It includes two very large horse barns that hold a total of 16 stalls. The land is fully fenced in with classic wood fencing to keep animals safe. Plus, the estate has frontage on two different roads, which makes it super easy to get big horse trailers in and out of the property. It is basically a ready-to-go setup if you want to keep horses or start a farm.
Features:
- 72.18 acres of land
- 2 horse barns with 16 stalls
- Classic wood fencing
- Frontage on 2 roads
- Rural views
Plenty of Parking and Smart Updates Even though the main home is very old and full of history, it has smart updates that make everyday life much easier. For example, the house uses a modern geothermal heating and cooling system. This is a really great feature that helps keep the temperature inside comfortable all year round, no matter what the weather is doing outside.
You also do not have to worry about where to park your cars or keep your tools safe. There is a huge detached garage with enough space to park six vehicles. Whether you have a large family with lots of teenage drivers, or you just like to collect cars and trucks, you will have all the covered parking you could ever need.
Features:
- Geothermal heating and cooling
- Detached 6-car garage
