Four tiered aggregate patios, including two covered areas, create distinct spaces for entertaining and relaxation.

Filled with natural light, it includes large rooms, extensive storage, a full bathroom, and dedicated storm- and tornado-safe rooms, making it an ideal refuge during severe weather. Accessibility considerations have also been thoughtfully incorporated throughout the home.

One side serves as an insulated six-bay workshop with concrete floors, water service, fan, air hose system, two large workbenches, and a wood stove—an ideal setup for mechanics, craftsmen, hobbyists, or small business owners. The large bays measure approximately 50 feet deep with 18-foot clear height, providing exceptional versatility. The second side offers massive storage capacity for multiple RVs, boats, campers, ATVs, equipment, tractors, and recreational vehicles.

Private yet connected. Peaceful yet prepared. A place where adventure, self-sufficiency, and everyday comfort come together in one extraordinary Kentucky property.
