The surrounding grounds, formal garden, indoor pool, and cocktails on the tree–lined patio will have your customers signing on the dotted line before they say goodnight.

There are 87 stalls to house your horse popula- tion plus an additional 36 stalls in the training barn and four additional homes. The 6 horse equisizer near the training barn is the ideal location for the training horses and sales yearlings.

The well-maintained, tree-lined blacktop roads guide you through the farm. The large specimen trees in the fields and the tree-lined fence rows create a natural protection for your horses from the sun and cold winds.

For the commercial farm, the improvements are second to none. Not only the southern mansion, but there are homes for the management team, caretaker, and guest house for your clients. The commercial office building is for an active business but also has a deck overlooking the racetrack to enjoy watching the young stock train in the morning. The two steel storage buildings can be used for equipment, hay and straw, plus adjacent to the office, a shop that would be the envy of any farm in Central Kentucky. 300 acres of tree-lined roads—with a historic southern mansion—on one of the most beautiful and historic highways in the United States and located 5 minutes from down- town Lexington make this a must-see for the serious participant in the horse business.
