Anchored by the iconic 1850 John McMurty built Greek Revival Mansion, featuring 2 ½ stories and 8200 square feet that are currently undergoing a total renovation while thoughtfully preserving the unique history of the property and outbuildings.

(The 10.7 acres with Main Residence and guest houses may be purchased separately, with inquiries directed to the listing agent.) The 132 acre improved horse farm portion has a secure place in the history of Kentucky's signature horse industry as the former home of champions from several breeds, including Classic and Kentucky Derby winners throughout the years. With 4 excellent barns housing over 77 stalls, 2 large run in sheds, 4 large fields, and 16 paddocks, the property is well designed and equipped for raising top quality horses. This is a generational opportunity to purchase a property steeped in the history of the Thoroughbred and one that has been completely and thoroughly renovated to present a truly unique turn-key opportunity to a discerning new steward.
