Welcome to Townsend Springs Farm—an iconic Bluegrass estate rooted in history and artfully refined for modern living. Originally settled in 1776, this Bourbon County landmark embodies the heart and soul of Kentucky horse country. The Federal-style residence, dating to 1803, features ash floors, hand-carved mantels, solid masonry walls, and Flemish bond brickwork. Soaring 12' ceilings and light-filled rooms showcase a perfect blend of timeless architecture with sophisticated updates. A chef's kitchen with exposed brick, original hearth, and hand-hewn beams pairs with a functional, sunny butler's pantry. Formal parlor, elegant dining room, and library offer ideal spaces for modern living and entertaining. The primary suite includes a fireplace, spa-inspired bath with claw foot soaking tub, and private home office. 3 additional bedrooms that each feel like private retreats. A finished walk-out lower level adds additional living space. Two limestone patios, mature trees, and breathtaking sweeping views second to none. Horse facilities include a 7-stall barn with bathroom and heated tack room, seven paddocks, and riding arena—all just minutes from Lexington and the Kentucky Horse Park.
