Bluegrass Mini Farm – Minutes from Kentucky Horse Park

This picturesque 10-acre mini farm, located on highway 460 between Frankfort and Georgetown, is in the heart of Kentucky's bluegrass. This piece of property is an equestrian dream, with one rear side bordering a quarter horse training center, and the other rear side, one of the most scenic and prestigious Shadwell Horse Farms in Kentucky. An additional 11 acres, adjacent to the rear of the property, is available for purchase. The property is positioned only 15-20 minutes from the Kentucky Horse Park, home of the 2010 World Equestrian Games. Interstate 64 is approximately seven miles away, making for a pleasant drive to Lexington, Louisville, or Cincinnati.

Nestled near the front-center of the property is a distinguished 1.5 story, custom built brick home that was completed in October 2005. More than fifty trees, including a small orchard of fruit trees, have been planted across the farm. The home is exceptionally well constructed with the finest of materials and features numerous modern conveniences. Because the rear of the home faces south, the warmth of the sun provides adequate heat on sunny days during the winter season. Two substantial, custom built stone posts adorn the entry of the approximate 300-foot driveway, and a black, wooden plank fence bestows a beautiful backdrop along the property's perimeter. Located approximately 200 feet behind the house is a large red-roofed, black wooden barn that offers not only storage for equipment and shelter for animals, but also an atmosphere of nostalgia that creates a longing for years gone by. A small storage building stands nearby the barn.

The home has approximately 3500 sq ft of finished area in addition to an unfinished basement of 2575 sq ft. As you approach the front of the house, you are greeted by a full-length leaded glass front door and a spacious brick porch. Once inside, you will notice the rich beauty of wide-plank, hardwood floors (carpet in bedrooms), arched doorways, crown moldings, deep baseboards, and built-in cabinets throughout the entire house.
