Description
Set on approximately 66 acres in Fayette County, Pelphrey Estate is a private luxury estate offering 9,769 square feet, 7 bedrooms, 6 full baths, extensive renovations, and exceptional versatility just minutes from Lexington. Originally inspired by West Coast Mediterranean architecture, the residence was designed with grand scale, soaring ceilings, detailed millwork, multiple fireplaces, and expansive views of the surrounding countryside. The layout offers a combination of formal and casual living spaces, private suites, office space, guest accommodations, and flexible living options throughout the home. The main level features a formal living room centered around a custom floor-to-ceiling fireplace constructed from coal with gas logs, an extensively renovated chef's kitchen, custom wet bar designed for entertaining, and a spacious den featuring a woodburning Buck Stove. The kitchen is truly the showpiece of the home where no detail was overlooked, featuring custom soft-close cabinetry, Calcutta Gold quartz countertops and full backsplash, oversized waterfall island, Wolf commercial range with double ovens, Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator, porcelain farmhouse sink, custom vent hood, premium fixtures, and designer finishes throughout. The main floor also includes two additional bedrooms and another renovated full bath. One of the home's two primary suites is located on the first floor and features a completely remodeled ensuite with double vanities, soaking tub, and custom tile walk-in shower. Upstairs, the show-stopping main primary suite offers an extraordinary amount of space with cedar-lined closets, vanity area, private sitting/flex space with fireplace, and a luxury ensuite featuring a soaking tub, 65-inch television, double vanities, quartz countertops, bidet toilet, and oversized custom tile walk-in shower with double shower heads. The upper level also includes two additional oversized bedrooms with renovated ensuite baths, another bedroom without an ensuite, laundry area, and a flex room ideal for office space or additional living area. Outdoor living spaces were extensively updated with a newly constructed fiberglass pool, stamped concrete entertaining areas, rebuilt stucco privacy walls, renovated pool house, landscaping improvements, upgraded drainage systems, and a custom gas fire pit overlooking the pool area. A 5-car garage offers four traditional garage bays, while the additional bay has been converted into a weight room. A convenient full bath located directly off the garage provides ideal access for pool guests. Additional improvements include five new heat pump systems, updated plumbing and electrical systems, new flooring throughout much of the home, fresh interior and exterior paint, custom iron entry doors, new lighting, insulation, and extensive mechanical updates. The property also includes a 5-stall barn, fenced acreage, a separate 3-bedroom, 2 full bath guest house with additional flex space, and 22 office spaces previously utilized for mortgage and title operations, creating unique opportunities for private estate living, business use, or multi-generational functionality. Formerly home to a 5/8-mile training track where successful racehorses trained, the farm carries a unique connection to Kentucky horse country. Pelphrey Estate offers a rare opportunity to own a renovated luxury estate with acreage, privacy, guest accommodations, extensive infrastructure, and exceptional flexibility in one of Fayette County's most desirable settings, conveniently located near the interstate, Hamburg conveniences, as well as Winchester.
