Custom-built, one-owner estate just beyond the Fayette County line offers the perfect blend of refined living, natural beauty, and everyday convenience. With a Lexington mailing address and a location only 4 miles from the I-75 exit, the property provides quick access to downtown, Hamburg shopping, restaurants, and is only minutes from the historic Iroquois Hunt Club. At the same time, its 5.36 acres of private, partially wooded land create a peaceful sanctuary that feels worlds away from city life.
The residence is an impressive brick home with three levels of living space designed for comfort, function, and entertaining. Hardwood and carpet flooring run throughout the main living areas, enhancing the warm, inviting feel. A formal living room and dining room showcase detailed trim work and timeless craftsmanship, while the cozy family room is ideal for gatherings. The oversized kitchen is a true centerpiece with a breakfast bar, built-in desk area, and ample cabinetry—perfect for casual meals or hosting.
On the lower level, a spacious recreation room with a brick fireplace offers endless options: from a pool table and games to movie nights or hobbies. This level is partially finished and already plumbed for a third full bathroom, with a sink and toilet in place. It also includes a walkout to a concrete patio, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The roof is just 2 years old, giving buyers added peace of mind.
Outdoor living is a highlight of this property. A 35-foot upper deck overlooks the 18 × 36 inground pool, offering a beautiful backdrop for summer entertaining. Beyond the pool, 2 acres of natural woods slope gently down to Boone Creek, a scenic and serene feature that adds to the property's appeal. The lot is bordered by a striking 700-foot stacked-stone wall, a dramatic detail that sets this estate apart. For equestrian or country living enthusiasts, the four-board plank fencing adds classic Kentucky charm.
The home also includes extensive garage space: a 40 × 24 detached garage large enough for 3-4 cars, plus an attached garage that has been converted into a den for flexible use. Together, these spaces provide exceptional room for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, or workshop needs.
The property is equipped with geothermal heating and cooling for outstanding energy savings and comfort. A propane-fed log system adds charm and backup security, while the home is served by a septic system.
This is more than just a home—it is a thoughtfully designed estate that offers refined interiors, a private outdoor retreat, and a location that strikes the rare balance between country tranquility and city convenience. Whether you are entertaining around the pool, relaxing by the fireplace, or enjoying the peaceful flow of Boone Creek at the edge of your property, this residence provides a lifestyle of comfort and serenity.
With its combination of natural seclusion, timeless craftsmanship, and modern efficiency, this property represents an opportunity seldom found on the market.
