Description

A Rare Offering in the Heart of Shelby County, Kentucky. This extraordinary estate redefines the meaning of ”My Old Kentucky Home.” Nestled on approximately 93 rolling acres of picturesque countryside, this meticulously maintained property is a showcase of timeless elegance, thoughtful stewardship, and limitless possibility. The stately four-bedroom, five-bath residence, originally constructed in 1900, has been lovingly preserved and enhanced to meet modern expectations without compromising its historic charm. Each of the four spacious bedrooms features its own private en suite bath, including a serene primary suite located on the main floor. The heart of the home is a sunlit kitchen, equipped with quality appliances and open to both the dining area and a comfortable family room—each space offering sweeping views of the manicured grounds. An elegant formal living room centers around a wood-burning brick fireplace with an original, handcrafted mantle. Throughout the home, you will find rich hardwood floors, an open staircase, and exquisite architectural details that speak to the home’s provenance.
The partially finished lower level includes a full bath and flexible space, ideal for a private office, recreation room, or guest retreat. Outdoor living is elevated with a welcoming front porch that overlooks a breathtaking 3-4 acre stocked lake with a private pier-an ideal setting for quiet reflection or unforgettable gatherings. The land itself is nothing short of exceptional. Creeks meander through mature shade trees and gently contoured fields. Currently used for crops and pasture, the property includes a heated, concrete-floored workshop with rear equipment storage, a separate barn ready for livestock, and two expansive open storage structures. Automatic watering systems service the fenced pastures, offering a turnkey opportunity for farming or equestrian pursuits. Whether you envision a working farm, an elite horse property, or a legacy estate, this offering presents a rare and valuable opportunity in the heart of Shelby County-the Saddlebred Capital of the World. A minor driveway relocation will be required per survey, but the path to ownership is otherwise as clear as the skies above this magnificent land. This is more than a home. It is a generational opportunity.
