About this home
Hidden away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, 1140 Rams Run offers the rare opportunity to enjoy a private, self-reliant lifestyle surrounded by nature—without sacrificing convenience. Tucked off the beaten path, this exceptional property provides quick access to I-65 for easy travel to Shepherdsville and Elizabethtown, as well as nearby Hwy 245 for a direct route to Bardstown. Whether you're seeking a private country retreat, a homestead, a recreational paradise, or a property designed with preparedness in mind, this one-of-a-kind estate delivers. The location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Nearby attractions include Bernheim Forest, Pine Creek Barrens Nature Preserve, Forest Edge Winery, and the world-famous Jim Beam Distillery. Multiple lakes, parks, campgrounds, off-roading destinations, hiking opportunities, and trail-riding areas are all within easy reach. Sportsmen will appreciate the ability to enjoy target shooting on the property, with the Kentucky Gun Club and Knob Creek Gun Range also located nearby. The home is nestled among beautiful wooded acreage featuring established hiking and biking trails that wind through your own backyard. Here, nature isn't something you visit—it's part of everyday life. Outdoor living is a centerpiece of the property. Four tiered aggregate patios, including two covered areas, create distinct spaces for entertaining and relaxation. Enjoy family cookouts, grilling, barbecuing, relaxing beneath the gazebo, gathering around the pool area, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. The circular driveway provides abundant parking and easy maneuverability for RVs, boats, campers, and trailers. For homesteaders and preppers, this property is exceptionally well-equipped. The chemical- and pesticide-free garden plot is ready for growing your own food, while established asparagus beds provide annual harvests. A plant map will be available for the new owner. The property also features a 15,000-gallon cistern that continues to collect rainwater, offering an additional layer of self-sufficiency. Combined with the whole-house Generac generator and a second chimney flue available for a future wood stove installation, the home is well-positioned for off-grid or emergency preparedness living. Inside, the meticulously maintained residence combines comfort, functionality, and timeless design. The spacious living room features soaring vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring, custom shutters, and a striking creekstone fireplace highlighted by a unique Kentucky-shaped stone feature and double-flue chimney. The expansive kitchen was designed for both everyday living and large gatherings, offering abundant cabinetry, a large center island, generous dining space, and dual workstations that are ideal for meal preparation, remote work, or homeschooling. The oversized primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with dual closets and a spacious ensuite bath featuring a skylight and jetted tub/shower combination. Two additional bedrooms are larger than typical secondary bedrooms and feature new carpeting and generous closet space. The walkout basement expands the home's living space while providing peace of mind. Filled with natural light, it includes large rooms, extensive storage, a full bathroom, and dedicated storm- and tornado-safe rooms, making it an ideal refuge during severe weather. Accessibility considerations have also been thoughtfully incorporated throughout the home. Additional recent improvements include: New HVAC system New water heater New basement pump Newer roof with gutter guards Generac whole-house generator Custom shutters A charming guest cottage adds tremendous flexibility for guests, hobbies, home office use, or recreational space. Well insulated and climate controlled for year-round comfort, the cottage is connected to the generator system and features a dog door leading directly to an enclosed pen area, making it perfect for pet owners. The impressive "double barn" is truly a standout feature. One side serves as an insulated six-bay workshop with concrete floors, water service, fan, air hose system, two large workbenches, and a wood stove—an ideal setup for mechanics, craftsmen, hobbyists, or small business owners. The large bays measure approximately 50 feet deep with 18-foot clear height, providing exceptional versatility. The second side offers massive storage capacity for multiple RVs, boats, campers, ATVs, equipment, tractors, and recreational vehicles. With no HOA restrictions, abundant storage, established trails, room for chickens or kennels, recreational opportunities at your doorstep, and infrastructure designed for both comfort and preparedness, 1140 Rams Run is far more than a home—it's a lifestyle. Private yet connected. Peaceful yet prepared. A place where adventure, self-sufficiency, and everyday comfort come together in one extraordinary Kentucky property....
