Description

Have you been looking for 10 beautiful, flat acres in the bluegrass with a 4,300 sf farmhouse that offers 6 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms and over two centuries of history...well, here it is...ready and waiting for its new owner. Built in three chapters, the home began as a log cabin around 1790. The original log walls are still exposed in one of the upstairs rooms, a rare and tangible link to Kentucky's earliest days. In 1885, an addition brought a summer kitchen to the back of the house and by 1910 the front of the home had taken shape: a Colonial Revival facade with a grand columned porch, a sweeping foyer and a staircase that turns heads the moment you walk through the door. Inside, original hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace with insert carry that same sense of character throughout, paired with practical updates including a new metal roof, new windows in the front portion of the house and a mini-split installed in the primary bedroom. It's honest about its age, with the older-home charm and character but it is move-in ready. Three separate porches and patios offer views of the farm from every angle, with the grand front porch stealing the show. Pick any of the outside sitting areas which would be the perfect spot for morning coffee or watching the sun set over the land. Outside, the property is flat with plenty of mature trees. Enjoy an established garden, wild blackberries in late summer and plenty of room to homestead or simply enjoy the beautiful land. A 1,200 sf garage/workshop has plenty of space for all your hobbies and the upstairs has plenty of floored area for storage. Located just 10 minutes from Danville and under an hour from Lexington, this is a rare chance to own a piece of Kentucky history.
