Overview

Description

Magnificently nestled behind mature trees (and directly across the road from Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum's Shadwell Farm) this estate property offers exquisite accommodations for both you and your bloodstock. Sited with privacy in mind, the well-constructed French revival-style home has four bedrooms (including a first-floor primary bedroom), four full baths, and one half-bath. This includes a fabulous second-story apartment (accessed from its own entrance) complete with kitchenette. A second well-built and classically designed home (previous personal residence of local homebuilder Robert Wyse) is 4BR/3.5BA. The 10-stall stone barn - one of the finest I've ever had the privilege to market - has vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a design focused on equine safety & health. Also: four fields, one paddock, & four-bay equipment building. All of this & more is secured behind two tree-lined, gated entrances (from two roads!), less than 2-miles from Keeneland Race Course & the airport!
