Take an Inside Look at one of Lexington, Kentucky's Most Technologically Advanced Horse Farms!


The creme of the crop in the Lexington Kentucky real estate market is my spectacular listing, Lexington’s Horse Haven Farm, was recently featured in the book Horse Farms & Horse Tales of the Bluegrass, by Wilma Clapp. In Clapp’s book, she profiles Kentucky’s most prestigious Horse Farms including Three Chimney’s, Calumet, Hamburg Place and Lane’s End. Clapp included a three-page spread on Horse Haven and noted it as one of the most technologically advanced farms around.

Here at Lexington, Kentucky's Horse Haven Farm, it truly is a haven for the horses. The barn is a 6,000 square foot heated and cooled facility designed to meet a horses’ every need. There are six 12 X 14 stalls and two 14 X 14 stalls. These spacious stalls are custom made of yellow pine, which as been stained and glazed for premium attractiveness. Truly, these are some of the most beautiful stalls you will find in any barn in the country. Each stall has a Nelson waterer, fly control commercial grade fan and a security camera. In addition, the barn features 2 wash bays, a central vac system, surround sound and an intercom system. There is also a place to pull in your horse trailer so it is covered from the winter weather. There is 2,200 square feet of finished space in the barn, which houses the kitchen, tack room, an abundance of storage and much more.

The farm has also been certified by the United States Department of Agriculture as a Certified Quarantined Facility. Many horse owners around the country will bring their horses to Horse Haven for rehabilitation after a surgical procedure. These owners have the benefit of checking on their horse 24/7 via the internet and feel at ease knowing their horse is well taken care of by the owners, who live on site, and the farm manager who is on the property daily. The property also consists of a 50-ft. Round Pen, 4-horse Odyssey walker, a 200’ by 100’ training arena and 4 paddocks, all of which allow the horses to regain their strength while having the option to undergo training while on site.
It was no shock to me that Horse Haven Farm was included in Clapp’s horse farm book. From the minute you step on the property, you know immediately that this is a facility offering the finest in horse care. The owners have taken immense pride in their work and truly have the horses best interest in mind. If you are in the market for a turn-key state-of-the-art horse facility, look no further. This facility would be a dream come true for the avid horse owner to call home! The farm is currently on the market and includes a beautiful home with over 5,300 square feet. The property consists of 20 acres of gently rolling Kentucky farmland and is just minutes from a major shopping district, schools, hospitals, equine facilities and downtown Lexington, Kentucky. It is listed at $2,895,000 and this honestly is a place where one can move right in, and not to have update or change anything in the home or barn. This property was built for the future and comfort for both the residents and horses. Both the residence and the barn were meticulously executed by the owners, who thought of every detail to make it a true gem!

Reporting live in Lexington, Kentucky

Greetings from the Horse Capital of the World!

I would like to say ‘thank you’ for stopping by and reading my very first blog posting! Today is a perfect day to write, especially since it’s getting really cold outside (hello, winter!) and I would much rather stay warm indoors and chat with you :) It’s a quiet Sunday for sure, wrapping up a less than stellar week from our University of Kentucky basketball team. Our Wildcats did grab their fist win of the season on Saturday in Lexington’s historic Rupp Arena, but I am still not sure that was enough to ail our broken hearts over the lost again rival North Carolina earlier in the week. Don’t worry, though…I’m sure our Cats will rebound over the next few games!

Yes, I bet you can already tell, I am a huge Kentucky Wildcats fan. Most people who live here in Lexington, Kentucky are! But I am also a big fan of the city of Lexington! That’s why I would like to dedicate this blog primarily to the topics of Lexington Real Estate (where I live and sell homes everyday) with special emphasis on the Bluegrass Region. And also fun events and special happenings around the city. This will be told through a completely candid perspective, but will hopefully offer some really cool facts, sound advice, and valuable insights.

If you have ever thought of buying a home, but the actual process frightens you, then sit back and relax. In fact, make sure to bookmark this site as your ‘go-to’ destination for all things Lexington, Kentucky Real Estate. I’ll tell you all about my role as your Realtor and what that specifically means to you. You will soon see that buying a home is not frightening, but very liberating, instead. Once you know what to look for and are educated on the process, it can be a very fun and rewarding opportunity for you and your family! We will cover the basics on what to do once you see your dream home in a magazine to actually buying the home, including such things as the tax credits of homeownership and all the ‘do’s and don’ts’ of financing.

If you are a seller, check back frequently to read about such things as how to obtain top dollar, all the secrets to selling your home quicker and to maximize your leverage in a down market, as well as utilizing the internet for a quicker sale.

If you’re wondering just who I am exactly, let me tell you a little bit about myself! I am a true native of Lexington and LOVE this city! In fact, I plan to never move away! I graduated from Transylvania University with a BA in Business Administration and worked in media and public relations immediately afterwards. However, I always knew that one day I would be calling the neighborhoods of Lexington 'my office.'

Today, I work for Keller Williams Bluegrass Realty and for years now, I have been selling homes in Lexington, KY and the surrounding areas of Versailles, Paris, Georgetown and the entire Central Kentucky region. I specializing in helping first-time homebuyers achieve the American dream. Additionally, I work with horse farm owners, home sellers, investors, and anyone who needs help with real estate. And yes, I have won several Realtor awards, which I will not bore you to death about the details, but just always remember that I am qualified to help you with any of your real estate needs!So, that said, do you or someone you might know have a burning real estate question?
