This working farm is stately set on 14 tranquil acres in the heart of Kentucky's scenic Bluegrass Region (an hour southeast of Louisville and an hour southwest of Lexington), and the home is considered one of the best preserved Antebellum Homes in the Commonwealth. |
Thomas McElroy built this beautiful Greek Revival Plantation Home on
nearly 600 acres and presented it as a Wedding Gift to his young bride, Sarah Maxwell.
Lavished with numerous architectural features, it is accented with Italianate
detail, spans over 7,000 sq. ft., with 14' ceilings, 12' doorways, 9' windows, 13 original
rooms - most are 20' x 20' with some even larger, and a grand cherry floating spiral
staircase.
Its colorful past includes stories of an Antebellum Plantation, use as a Confederate
Hospital, the Childhood Home to Phil Simms - former NY Giants Quarterback
and Super Bowl XXI's MVP, a popular Dinner Hall, and Children's Home. Today it is
an award-winning Bed & Breakfast, Wedding/Special Events Showplace, Alpaca
& Llama Farm, and Handcrafted Gift Gallery: Manor Cottage
Gifts.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and considered a Kentucky Landmark Home.
Spacious Guest Rooms are antique-appointed, offering large extra padded beds, designer linens, and private baths. Our premium rooms include a double Jacuzzi and/or fireplace. |
