29 yrs ago I wanted a bit more for my family, so I looked in several states for a good value in a horse farm with land. With all the rolling hills with scenery like Scotland and Tuscany and the multi-million dollar horse farms, the historic bourbon distilleries and vineyards that are here in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky, I knew this was the place we needed to investigate. As I looked deeper into the area, I found it to be a place with a high quality of life, gentle people, close to shopping, colleges, golf course, lakes, all that stuff we all want. And that brings me back to what I really needed and wanted for my family. I simply wanted 5 acres and Independence. All I really needed was Hi-speed and FedEx delivery. The rest was gravy. I needed for me - a place to have a horse or two, raise a beef or two an have a small herb garden. A place I can raise a family and feel safe – a place that was not too rural and business friendly – that is why I live here.

I also knew that it is far better to buy a wonderful property at a fair price than a fair property at a wonderful price.  I get lots of calls from people looking for just cheap land – that is not what we have here, that’s not what we’re about – we have good value land – it is not expensive, it is a good value.  

I remember looking at land a few counties away from here, 24 yrs ago that was $200/acre – I was not impressed about the quality or the value.  You can still get that land for just 1,000/ac, so it went up 5 times - so it went up from 200/ac to 1000/ac.  In that same timeframe – the land we have here was $600/acre – not it goes for $5,000 – 8,500/acre in large tracts, so it went up 10-15 times.  So-So land stays so-so.  But good land always gets better.  Enough preaching – that is a decision you need to make.

You will want to get on our mailing list – no, we don’t share your info with anyone, it's just my wife and me.  I send out a newsletter and info on the immediate area – and info on our listings.  Send me an email on what you want to see – we have properties from $25,000 - $2M – tell me what you want and I may just have it - and I work with a select few agents who know land well.

Come for a site visit - explore the Historic Bourbon Distilleries, Wineries, The Bourbon Trail - give us enough notice and Cindy and I will treat you to dinner at our place - and show you some true Kentucky hospitality.
