Description
A Rare Kentucky Estate | 52.6 Acres of Beauty, Privacy & Possibility 2165 KY Highway 1247 | Stanford, Kentucky Some properties are measured in square feet. Others are measured in acres. But the truly special ones are measured in the life you can imagine living there. Welcome to 2165 KY Highway 1247, where 52.6 acres of rolling Kentucky countryside create an extraordinary setting for a home that offers so much more than a place to live. Picture mornings overlooking peaceful pastures, horses grazing beyond the fence, and evenings spent watching the sun settle over your own piece of Kentucky. Here, the views stretch beyond your windows, the pace of life feels a little slower, and there's room to enjoy the things that matter most. At the heart of the property stands an approximately 4,800-square-foot residence filled with timeless character, gracious living spaces, and remarkable versatility. From the welcoming entry and elegant formal dining room to the spacious gathering areas overlooking the countryside, this is a home designed for both memorable celebrations and the quiet beauty of everyday life. The main level offers three generous bedrooms and two full bathrooms, while an upstairs fourth-bedroom suite provides a private retreat. Below, the walkout basement opens another world of possibilities, featuring a den, kitchenette, bathroom, covered patio access, and additional garage and workshop space. Imagine welcoming extended family for the holidays, giving guests a comfortable space of their own, or creating a home that evolves beautifully through different seasons of life. Beyond the residence, the land is every bit as captivating. 52.6 fenced acres, a corral, pond, and creek offer a remarkable opportunity for equestrian pursuits, cattle, recreation, or simply the luxury of wide-open space. Whether your vision includes a working farm, a private country retreat, or an estate to enjoy for generations, this property provides an exceptional canvas. With an upper-level two-car garage, additional lower-level garage and workshop, and a convenient location just outside Stanford, the property brings together rural beauty and everyday practicality. There are places you visit, places you live, and places you never want to leave. This may be the one you've been waiting for. Schedule your private tour and discover what life could look like here.
