Overview

Description

Nearly 200 acres at the end of Donahue Road. The home is a modern interpretation of Washington's Mount Vernon and sits at the back of the property high upon a hill, surrounded on three sides by Guist Creek. Gorgeous views and exceptional privacy. Feels as if time stood still and miles from civilization but only 15 minutes from Shelbyville, 45 minutes from Louisville airport, 55 minutes from Lex airport. Approx 80 acres of cropland and the rest in woodlands. The first floor has an open floorplan with high ceilings. Oversized masterbedroom with sitting area and fireplace. Additional space available in the unfinished basement with an exterior entrance. There is a backup wood furnace for the house for utility savings or off-grid capabilities.
