Your own slice of Kentucky horse country awaits in L'Esprit, the region's premier equestrian destination. Set on 26 picturesque acres, this colonial estate pairs sophisticated living with outstanding horse facilities and direct access to 20+ miles of private community bridle and walking trails.
The property's pastures and paddocks roll toward a 4-acre private lake stocked with fish, while an old-growth forest invites hiking from the back door. The 45' x 75' walk-out Morton barn is built for seamless usage, with a tack room, two open equipment areas, three 12' x 16' maternity stalls, and a heated horse shower, ideal for a breeding or foaling program.
Just outside the fenced backyard, an outdoor arena completes the convenient riding setup. The estate's timeless colonial main house offers postcard views from every window and features five spacious bedrooms with individual en-suite baths, along with the potential for a sixth usable bedroom space in the lower level.
The heart of the first floor is the expansive sunroom addition overlooking the adjoining lake, in-ground pool, and pastures beyond. The main level also offers a spacious living room, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen with pantry, laundry room, powder room, and four-car garage.
A handsome first floor study features a private outdoor entrance, making it a perfect working office with separate access for clients or contractors. A nearby first-floor full bath also allows for easy conversion to a main-level bedroom if ever desired, while the walkout lower level could serve as separate guest quarters or simply extra room to entertain family and friends.
This property is as versatile as it is beautiful, offering ample opportunities for additional income for the right buyer. Five en-suite bedrooms, guest-ready lower level, lake-view sunroom, and oversized in-ground pool make it easy to imagine a stunning countryside bed and breakfast, while the spacious barn, paddocks, arena, and trail access provide a strong foundation for equestrian boarding, foaling, or lessons.
The property's rolling open acreage could support crops, hay, or a market garden, though owners may simply opt to enjoy this one-of-a-kind countryside retreat as their own private oasis. L'Esprit is the destination for equestrian and nature enthusiasts, featuring private Bridle Path, access to Harrods Creek, and a breathtaking mixture of 4,100 acres of horse farms and estate homes. Conveniently located just 8 minutes from historic La Grange and less than 30 minutes to downtown Louisville, this home is not to be missed!
