Discover this exceptional custom French-inspired estate on 8.3 private acres inside the Gene Snyder Freeway, blending luxury living, resort-style outdoor amenities, productive homestead features, and future development potential in an established Louisville setting with no HOA. The custom-built residence offers approximately 5,280 sq/ft of finished living space with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Thoughtful architectural design and Artisan craftsmanship define the home, with a limewashed brick exterior, premium Galvalume metal roof, extensive solid-wood crown molding, pecky cypress beams, hand-scraped knotty oak floors, custom maple cabinetry, a show-stopping quartz kitchen island, a Lacanche French professional range, and more. Enjoy real-wood fireplaces (Isokern masonry and Regency catalytic), a soundproofed movie theater with Bose surround system, a dedicated office/library, and a versatile finished walkout lower level. Outdoor living is resort-caliber: a heated glass-tile pool with waterfall, expansive paver hardscaping, covered porches, a Forno Bravo wood-fired pizza oven, an outdoor kitchen with KitchenAid grill, a sports court, and a firepit. Nature and self-sufficiency shine with a stocked pond, Razor Creek, a mature maple grove (syrup-producing), pollinator habitat, abundant wildlife, a chicken coop, gardens, and extensive hardwood and cedar reserves. Modern efficiency includes an approximately 12 kW solar array, spray-foam insulation, and two new 2026 heat pumps. Additional highlights include five enclosed garage bays (with oversized RV/boat storage and a loft) plus a substantial collection of commercial-grade equipment available separately. Perfectly located for convenience yet private, the property is near top schools, parks (Charlie Vettiner, Parklands of Floyds Fork, Blackacre), shopping, dining, and major highways. A rare combination of scale, craftsmanship, recreation, and optionality that is exceptionally difficult to reproduce or capture with words.
