Description

A Rare Offering: A Storied Estate of Timeless Elegance and Modern Sophistication. Step into a world of refined heritage and unmatched grandeur with this extraordinary Greek Revival estate-an iconic approximately 5000 sq ft architectural masterpiece, originally constructed in 1858 and exquisitely restored to honor it's legacy. Once the crown jewel of a 2000 acre hemp farm and home owned by the prominent Sleadd family, this historic estate now resides proudly on 26 rolling acres of pristine Kentucky countryside in Shelby County, the Saddlebred Horse Capital of the World. Meticulously updated, the residence seamlessly blends the grace of its original craftmanship-soaring ceilings, intricate crown molding, seven original fireplaces, and grand open staircase, as well as a butlers staircase with luxurious modern amenities. The heart of the home, a show stopping chef's Kitchen, features a custom designed scullery and was thoughtfully curated for both culinary artistry and effortless entertaining. Expansive porches wrap the home, offering sweeping views of the estate's pastoral beauty, while inside, generously proportioned rooms provide an elegant yet livable floorplan with 3-4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, including a stunning vintage inspired bath complete with a restored clawfoot tub that was original to the house when they first got indoor plumbing. Outside, the charm continues: a historic brick smokehouse, original mounting block, and two compact classic storage barns. This grand estate offers endless potential for equestrian pursuits or elegant country living. Properties of this caliber-where privacy and potential converge rarely become available. This is your rare opportunity to own a piece of American History, elevated for the modern era.
