Currently enjoyed as a private hobby farm, the property provides approximately 7 fenced acres divided into three pastures, a two-stall horse barn, water access throughout the pasture areas, and approximately 16 additional acres of flat, usable land offering plenty of room for future possibilities. Surrounded by large, mature trees and located on a quiet country road, the property offers privacy and the peaceful feel of rural Kentucky while remaining conveniently located to Morehead, Mount Sterling, Lexington, Cave Run Lake, and Daniel Boone National Forest. THE HOME Built in 2025, the approximately 2,000 sq. ft. ranch-style home features an open and welcoming floor plan with 10-foot ceilings, designed for comfortable everyday living and entertaining. The spacious kitchen features a large island, abundant counter space, a large sink, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range. A large window above the kitchen sink overlooks the pastures, providing beautiful views of the property from inside the home. The kitchen also includes a walk-in pantry and convenient laundry room. A rear door provides quick access to the backyard, barn, and pastures. The open living room features a modern black fireplace with a gas insert, creating a warm and inviting space for relaxing while providing an additional source of warmth during colder weather. Large windows throughout the home bring in abundant natural light and offer views of the surrounding acreage. The home features central heating and air conditioning. PRIMARY SUITE The spacious primary bedroom includes an attached primary bathroom, two walk-in closets, and beautiful views of the surrounding property. The primary bathroom is one of the home’s standout features, with a large window overlooking the pasture from above the freestanding soaking tub — offering a unique opportunity to relax while enjoying views of the property and horses. The bathroom also features a custom-tiled shower, two vanities with sinks, an additional antique-style vanity area for makeup and hair, and generous space. Two additional bedrooms feature large windows, natural light, and ample closet space. The second full bathroom includes double sinks and a custom-tiled shower. APPROXIMATELY 500 SQ. FT. COVERED FRONT PORCH The approximately 500 sq. ft. covered front porch provides an exceptional outdoor living space with plenty of room for family, friends, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. It is an ideal place to enjoy morning coffee, watch the horses or livestock in the pastures, or relax and take in the sounds of nature. HORSE & HOBBY FARM SETUP The property is currently enjoyed as a private hobby farm, with approximately 7 acres fenced and divided into three separate pastures. The fencing and gates were installed in 2024 using 5-foot no-climb horse fencing with black-painted posts, creating a secure and attractive setup that complements the home. All three pastures are connected while remaining separated by gates, making pasture rotation convenient and practical. The current setup is well suited for horses and can also accommodate other livestock. TWO-STALL HORSE BARN The property includes a functional two-stall horse barn featuring: • Two 12’ x 12’ horse stalls • Dutch-door stall fronts • Approximately 12’ x 24’ concrete area at the rear of the barn • Space for hay, feed, tack, equipment, or additional storage • Electricity The Dutch doors allow the stalls to be used as traditional enclosed stalls or opened to create a convenient run-in/turnout configuration. City water is available at each pasture, providing convenient access for filling water troughs. APPROXIMATELY 16 ADDITIONAL USABLE ACRES Beyond the fenced pastures is approximately 16 additional acres of flat, usable land that is currently unfenced. This portion of the property provides tremendous flexibility for the next owner and could potentially accommodate additional pasture, horses, livestock, hay, crops, additional barns or buildings, recreation, or other uses depending on the buyer’s plans. There is plenty of room to expand the existing horse setup and make the property your own. PRIVACY & COUNTRY SETTING Large, mature trees surround the property, creating privacy and a beautiful natural setting. The home is situated on a quiet road with a peaceful country atmosphere, while still offering convenient access to nearby towns, outdoor recreation, and equestrian destinations.

Potential uses could include a guest house, additional living space, studio, office, rental property, or other use. City water and electric are already available at the farmhouse. The structure may also be renovated, repurposed, or removed by the buyer after closing.
