800 Candlelight Ln, Louisville, KY 40214 | MLS# 1721890

Description

Welcome to 800 Candlelight Lane, where nearly 14 acres of privacy and possibility meet the convenience of Louisville living. The property spans 13.7388 acres across nine individually deeded parcels, the homesite plus eight adjoining lots, all included in the sale and reached by a private drive. It offers a rare mix of usable land, mature woods, a half-acre pond, and improvements that are hard to find together on acreage this close to the city. Public water and public sewer serve the homesite, so there is no well or septic to maintain. Whether the goal is a private retreat, a hobby farm, space for guests or extended family, or simply room to spread out, this property delivers. The main residence is a 3,389 square foot farmhouse with four bedrooms, two full baths, and three half baths. Recent updates include new flooring throughout the first floor, remodeled first-floor baths, first-floor laundry with a dog wash, quartz countertops, and a GE Cafe refrigerator. Enclosing a former porch added living space, and one of the home’s HVAC systems was replaced in 2025. The home also has owned (not leased) solar panels that offset its electric use, recently inspected, cleaned, and serviced. It operates on LG&E’s grandfathered net metering, the one-for-one kWh credit structure that newer solar installations no longer qualify for. Outside is where the property sets itself apart. A large in-ground pool anchors the outdoor living area, with newly built decking, a new pump (2026), and an updated filtration system. Wooded trails, open green space, and the pond leave room to explore, entertain, garden, or raise animals. A four-stall barn overlooks the pond, and a chicken coop completes the setup for hobby farming. The detached two-car garage includes a studio apartment with a full kitchen and full bath, and a laundry hookup, flexible space for guests, extended family, a home office, or rental income. The apartment refrigerator, hood vent, microwave, washer and dryer stay. The standalone workshop is powered well beyond a typical garage. It has its own three-phase electrical service, rare in a residential setting and what can run the industrial-grade equipment that standard home wiring cannot. A 200-amp commercial-grade main feeds the building, with a dedicated 240-volt twist-lock outlet for heavy equipment and dozens of dedicated circuits distributed throughout, so machinery can be placed and powered almost anywhere on the floor. The slab is also plumbed for in-slab radiant heat, with the tubing run through the concrete, a visible manifold, and water service to the building, so the costly and permanent part of a heated shop floor is already done and only a heat source and pump are needed to finish it. The shop previously housed a full complement of professional woodworking equipment. For a woodworker, fabricator, machinist, restorer, or anyone running an equipment-heavy trade or business from home, a shop built and powered to this level is expensive to replicate and nearly impossible to add after the fact. Land, infrastructure, and flexibility like this, within easy reach of shopping, dining, schools, and I-265, rarely come available. 800 Candlelight Lane is ready for its next owner.
