Here is a "once in a lifetime opportunity" to own 9.7+ acres with two residences, two barns, and a former smokehouse (now studio), surrounded by a conservation easement. The privacy is truly unbelievable! Entering the property and driving over the small Wolf Pen Branch bridge, one can barely comprehend that it is less than 15 miles from the center of downtown Louisville! The main residence, built in 1900, is a large charming yellow frame farmhouse & was recently used for overnight retreats. The "managers cottage" built in the late 1990's has an authentic old log cabin great room with a huge stone fireplace. Priced as appraised.
