Overview

Description

MANTEWS FARM - Held within the same family for generations, this 117+/- acre farm neighbors some of the world's most prominent horse operations. Immediate neighbors include Corinthia Farm, Dixiana/Domino, Hester Equestrian, the former Indian Mound Farm, Mt. Brilliant, and Spendthrift. The farm directly adjoins Clearsky and Waterwild, the latter of which is also for sale. Mantews Farm boasts very good soils, excellent road frontage, city water, and a portion of the lovely Goose Creek. Mature trees and water features gift the property with a serene & unique privacy, whilst being only minutes from Downtown Lexington, the Kentucky Horse Park, or equine hospitals. In addition, three homes (2BR/1BA),(2BR/2BA),(3BR/1BA) offer on-site living for a farm manager and/or employees. With a location at the height of convenience and desirability, one has an opportunity to develop the property further into a horse farm, or maintain it as a very special Fayette County retreat. ADDITIONAL ACREAGE AVAIL.
