About this home
Exclusive listing offers a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Lexington history, surrounded by mature trees and seeped in history, but not lacking in modern conveniences, Highland Hall, circa 1855, a prestigious gated 5-acre retreat, located minutes from the Richmond Road corridor, in Fayette County. Originally built by former governor of Kentucky Isaac Shelby, Highland Hall was the image of a "typical farmhouse" set in the Greek Revival style of large proportions and clean lines, with rural comfort to entertain travelers from afar. Once set on over 5000 acres, stretching from the valleys of Madison County lines, throughout Heartland Estates and much of now Tates Creek Corridor, Highland Hall was a working homestead maintaining itself with onsite livestock, a smoke house (which still stands on the property today) an ice house and several out buildings (no longer on property) used during the 5-year construction of the home. Although there was nothing typical about the 6800+/- sqft structure, no expense was spared with custom blown glass windows, interior doors and trim milled from Walnut trees that grew on property, as well as hand milled Heart Pine floors, also direct from the property. The large pond in the back of the property was used not only as water source, but for preserving crafted wood work that survives today in the home. Showcasing all of Highland Halls' beauty, both inside and out, Highland Hall was chosen to be the Decorators Showcase Home in 2012, (however the interior been professional redesigned since), selected designers featured their talents and public was invited tour for the 5-week event to enjoy all that the property had to offer. It was the most widely attended showcase in the 20-year history of the event.
