An ideal Fayette County address affords convenience (15 minutes to Man o' War Blvd.) while maintaining remarkable privacy and seclusion. The terrain includes open pasture, dense woods, and deep valleys with streams flowing to the Kentucky River. Native species and innumerable trees evoke early Kentucky, while two ponds contribute to the bucolic setting.
