Discover 56 gated acres of pristine countryside where refined rural living meets exceptional design. This rare estate is a private retreat featuring a custom-built main residence, a guest house, a fully stocked lake, two tranquil ponds, a winding creek, and three versatile outbuildings—perfect for equestrian use, storage, or hobbies. Strategically sited to maximize sweeping views and ensure total seclusion, the main home—crafted in 2023—is a true showcase of rustic elegance and thoughtful design. A wide front porch and grand double doors welcome you into a light-filled entryway and soaring great room anchored by vaulted wood-paneled ceilings and a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Oversized windows line the back of the home, framing breathtaking vistas at every turn. The open-concept layout continues into a chef's kitchen equipped with premium stainless appliances, gas range, walk-in pantry, and island with bar seating. A comfortable dining area opens to a screened-in porch, offering a serene place to dine or unwind while overlooking the landscape. The expansive primary suite features tranquil lake views, private deck access, and a screened-in sitting porch. Its ensuite bath includes dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and two spacious closets. Also on the main level: a private office, guest bedroom with nearby full bath, oversized laundry room, and a mudroom that connects to the four-car garage. The finished walkout basement offers a second full living space complete with a kitchenette and wet bar, large living room with wood-burning stove, a well-appointed bedroom with walk-in closet, an additional sleeping area, a full bathroom, and a half bath near the bar perfect for hosting or multi-generational living. Step outside to enjoy the heated saltwater pool, expansive patio, wraparound deck, and multiple screened-in porches all designed to make the most of the scenic, private surroundings. Fish for bass, bluegill, and crappie in your fully stocked lake, explore the ponds and creek, or simply relax in the peace and beauty of the land. The separate guest house near the front of the property features an open layout with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, ideal for extended family, guests, or rental income. Three versatile barns complete the property, including one with horse stalls and two oversized buildings ready to accommodate equipment or creative pursuits. This is a rare opportunity to own a private estate that offers unmatched space, comfort, and natural beauty just minutes from downtown Louisville, Churchill Downs, the airport, and nearby parks and trail systems.
