Property Description

Spread across 30 acres, this 4,300 sf farmhouse offers 6 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms and over two centuries of history...ready and waiting for its new owner. Built in three chapters, the home began as a log cabin around 1790. The original log walls are still exposed in one of the upstairs rooms, a rare and tangible link to Kentucky's earliest days. In 1885, an addition brought a summer kitchen to the back of the house and by 1910 the front of the home had taken shape: a Colonial Revival facade with a grand columned porch, a sweeping foyer and a staircase that turns heads the moment you walk through the door. Inside, original hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace with insert carry that same sense of character throughout, paired with practical updates including a new metal roof, new windows in the front portion of the house and a mini-split installed in the primary bedroom. It's honest about its age, with the older-home charm and character, but it is move-in ready. Three separate porches and patios offer views of the farm from every angle, with the grand front porch stealing the show. Pick any of the outside sitting areas which would be the perfect spot for morning coffee or watching the sun set over the land. Outside, the property is mostly flat with a gentle rise toward the back, crossed by a small creek and fed by several natural springs. Enjoy an established garden, wild blackberries in late summer and plenty of room to hunt, farm or simply spread out. A 1,200 sf garage/workshop (with a second story floored for storage), two small barns, a large barn with stall framing and a historic blacksmith shop round out the outbuildings. All of these offer real potential for a hobby farm, storage or a working homestead. Located just 10 minutes from Danville and under an hour from Lexington, this is a rare chance to own a piece of Kentucky history.
