What began in 1871 as a grand Italianate home has evolved into one of Central Kentucky's most distinctive luxury estates. Set on 6.82 acres in the heart of Kentucky Bourbon country, this 8,261 sq. ft. residence pairs remarkable historic architecture with the space and amenities of a modern executive home. Inside, the character is unmistakable. Wide-plank poplar floors, soaring ceilings, detailed millwork, a sweeping staircase and six fireplaces speak to the home's history, while extensive renovations have created spaces designed for the way we live and entertain today. The chef's kitchen anchors the home with two islands, custom cabinetry, a 48" Wolf gas range, double ovens, commercial-style refrigeration and a fireplace of its own. Six bedrooms and 4.5 baths include two exceptional suites. The first-floor primary offers a sitting area with fireplace, dual custom closets and a spa-like bath with heated marble floors, steam shower and jetted tub. Upstairs, another private suite incorporates the home's distinctive cupola tower along with its own living space, fireplace and bath. And then there is the outdoor living. Enjoy 844 sq. ft. of covered porches and 3,087 sq. ft. of open patio surrounding a 20' x 42' inground pool. A separate 1,495 sq. ft. guest/pool house adds a full kitchen, living area, bath, loft bedroom and covered porch, complemented by a three-car garage. Beyond the home, mature trees, an orchard, pond and open countryside create a setting that feels unmistakably Kentucky. Bring a horse, enjoy the acreage and privacy, or simply take in the view from the porch. Its location in the heart of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail adds another dimension. For buyers relocating to Kentucky, this property offers the rare combination of a historic luxury home, acreage, privacy and the Kentucky horse country lifestyle. Convenient access to the Lebanon-Springfield general aviation airport adds another advantage for the executive buyer. Beyond its potential as an exquisite private estate, the property offers intriguing possibilities for boutique hospitality, weddings, private events or corporate retreats, subject to applicable approvals, in a region attracting millions of Bourbon Trail visitor experiences each year.
