Kentucky’s most expensive listing offers the incredible opportunity to live on a rural retreat that’s just minutes from town.

Available for $19,640,700, the sprawling Richmond, KY, property is situated on an astonishing 1,750 acres.

“The seller is the original owner, and they custom built the home high up on a ridge overlooking the valley,” says listing agent Hill Parker, of Turf Town Properties.

The home is situated beside a 22-acre lake by the Crowe Valley of Silver Creek.

“This is a private retreat, so the views are spectacular,” Parker notes. “What makes it so unique is that it is just 2.5 miles from town, yet you feel like you are a world away from everything.”

No expense was spared when constructing the 10,000-square-foot luxury home, built in 2001.

“There are vaulted ceilings in the home and a gourmet kitchen as well,” Parker explains. “There are tons of built-ins and lots of elaborate millwork that is just spectacular. They imported marble for some of the flooring, while other parts are made of hardwood. There is also a custom-built door that was made in Colorado. Everything in the home has been done using the highest end of finishes.”

Other highlights include Douglas Fir beams, handmade doors, imported stone from East India, and a custom-made mantle and chandeliers.

“The wife is from Kentucky, and the husband wanted to bring a Colorado feel to Kentucky,” Parker notes. “The home is really something like what you would see in the Colorado Rockies, with its mountain views and extraordinary high-end finishes. They redid the original 1800s farmhouse. … The main home is effectively a spectacular ranch.”

The property has frontage on Silver Creek and comes with its own waterfall and alfalfa fields. It boasts a four-car garage, 10 barns, plus “miles of four-rail, steel-pipe fencing; miles of 6-inch water line; miles of paved roads; and many more miles of gravel roads,” the listing states.

Four more homes on the property are included in the sale and would be ideal for guests or staff.

The home was built as a primary residence for the sellers, and Parker hopes the buyer will also use it as their main home.

“I suspect the next owner will be someone who wants to get away from it all. … To have that much privacy and acreage, yet be so close to everything, is just unbelievable,” he says.
