Overview

Description

Remarkably well-located and yet incredibly secluded, this 278+/- acre Fayette County farm is like nothing else on the market today. Located at the dead-end of Elkchester Road, the property is nestled in-between the South Elkhorn Creek, and the incomparable Pisgah Pike. The farm has a history of agricultural success thanks to rich Bluegrass-Maury and McAfee soils, and several springs. Portions of South Elkhorn Creek wind through the farm, which also has a fabulous pond. Separating the pastures, which have most recently been utilized for hay and crops, are sections of mature, dense woods. The property is ideal as a private retreat, but is also perfectly suitable for any number of agricultural pursuits, including development as a horse farm. Immediate neighbors include Bluegrass Farm, Calumet, Darby Dan, Fares Farm, Keene Ridge Farm, Keeneland Race Course, and Manchester Farm. The property also directly adjoins the former Brittany Farm. (NB: A PDR protected farm; it cannot be divided.)
