Land with Home for Sale in Columbia, Kentucky

A HOMESTEAD DREAM: Refined Elegance

A 2216 sf brick home, 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, full basement, separate 2-car garage. The kitchen is 11x18 feet, modern and well-lit with abundant pantry and storage. The formal dining room (or potential home office or fourth bedroom) is 13x15 feet with hardwood floor, a closet, and French doors. A sunken living room or den is 20x20 feet, with tall ceilings. The Master Bedroom is 13x14 feet with a hardwood floor and a 5x6 feet walk-in closet and full bath; bedroom 2 is 9x11 feet with hardwood floor and small closet; bedroom 3 is 11x14 feet with hardwood floor and small closet. Double-doors adjoin the living room/den to a light and spacious 16x17 foot Lanai or Sunroom. The entire home is elegantly trimmed with wide baseboards, classy casings, and crown molding.

For food-producing homesteaders: the 16.46-acre property has a small spring and stream, 20 established fruit and nut trees, 140 mature blueberry bushes, strawberry beds, aronia berries, blackberries and raspberries; 10 grape vines; and abundant space for vegetable gardens, grains, and legumes. The numerous flowering and shade trees and established flower beds add beauty to productivity.

There is room for adding small to large livestock, including chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, cattle, and horses, but at present, only partial fencing exists and there are currently no structures on the property for sheltering animals.

The property may be purchased with the home and full acreage at the price herein listed, or for an adjusted price if fewer acres are preferred. We are also open to a Land Contract sale if such is preferred to traditional bank financing.

A homesteader's dream come true: Your new elegantly adorned home, with the potential of almost sixteen and a half acres, will bring your long-held homesteading dreams to life. Nestled in the beautiful rich Blue Grasses of rural south-central Kentucky, you'll have privacy and escape from the bustling city life.

The home's exterior is an attractive, maintenance-free white brick, with graceful brick arches for hanging luscious ferns or colorful flowering baskets, over a blue and grey slate front porch. It's a wonderful place for the whole family to relax in their front porch rocking chairs and savor breathtaking Kentucky sunsets in the west.

The simple and elegant interior of your new home is beautifully modernized: hard-surface floors, solid-core doors, tall baseboards, new trim including crown molding, and ceiling fans throughout. Your versatile formal dining room (potential home office or fourth bedroom), spacious family-living room, kitchen, hall and three bedrooms all have velvety-chocolate-brown, five-inch wide solid-oak hardwood flooring installed in an artful manner and design to enhance each room. The entry and laundry rooms are soon to be completed with the same hardwood flooring and a ceramic tile flooring that coordinates with the existing bathroom tile floors.

The well-lit modern kitchen will nourish both the heart and stomach for your homestead dream. A built-in breakfast bar faces two large kitchen windows, bringing each morning and evening meal to life in your New "Old Kentucky Home." Spacious pantries provide storage for the home-preserved abundance you will enjoy here. (If the home is not purchased before completion, the kitchen plans include a coordinating tile backsplash.)

Never run out of hot water again: A tankless water heater provides limitless hot water for bathing, dishwasher, and the family laundry, as well as saving on the monthly electric bill. A whole-house water filter in the basement and a point-of-use filter on the kitchen sink provide abundant purified water for drinking and cooking, and for pets. The home is not on well-water, but a spring on the property could potentially be adapted to provide a natural water source.

The large master bedroom has an adjacent spacious and well-designed walk-in closet complete with built-in dressers, long and short clothing hanging rods and plenty of shelving for individual items and organizer boxes. The Master Bath has shower, tub, and double sinks. (If the home is not purchased before completion, plans may be realized to remove the tub/shower unit and add a ceramic tile walk-in shower with new vanity.)

Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath open onto the central hall. (Again, if the home is not purchased before completion, plans for the hall bathroom may include a ceramic tile shower / tub, and new vanity).

The formal dining room is separated from the main living area by elegant French Doors and therefore could easily also serve your family's needs as a spacious home office or a fourth bedroom. A versatile closet may serve for table-linen/China storage, for files and office supplies, or as a clothes closet.

To the back of your dream home, opening off the Living Room/Den, lays an expansive sunroom or Lanai (fully closed-in, extensively-windowed, with elegant wooded-slat blinds - no bugs or pests), providing a pleasant family respite in all seasons. From your Lanai, enjoy the spring and fall colors surrounding your beautiful family home, or watch the snow blanket your back yard in winter. Your "outside on the inside" Lanai, has endless dreamy potential; a great place for houseplants or for starting new plants, or used as a portal to an outside kitchen or family campfire area, an-all-season place to live, limited only by your imaginations, visions, and dreams.

Lots of well-considered extras make your new dream home both convenient, functional, and lovely. Can you ever have enough storage space? In addition to the spacious laundry-room, there is a large temperature-controlled walk-in storage area / closet, at the end of this room suitable for food, business records, extra bedding and clothing, or indoor equipment such as sewing machines, canning supplies, or office stock. Indeed, throughout the entire house there is abundant closet and storage space, including seven closets with shelves galore.

Also, the spacious dry basement furnishes plenty of space and shelving for reserves of canned and dry foods, home-canned preserves, business file archives, and other resources. Outside access to your basement allows the potential of turning this area into an additional living space for teenagers or workspace for a revenue-producing business venture. The wood-burning stove in the basement could be used to provide natural warmth as well as to reduce electricity costs. There is some firewood on the property and plenty available in the area.

Surrounding the roomy home for your family are the abundant food resources of which homesteaders dream: twenty established and fruit-bearing apples, peaches, pears, plums, pecan, and walnut trees; three varieties of grapes; berries, including 140 mature blueberry plants, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and aronia berries. There is space to grow large vegetable and flower gardens, and acres that could readily become a successful truck garden, nursery, or cut-flower business, or any other long-awaited family dream, or be leased out as croplands for local farmers to share-crop corn or soybeans. The acreage is currently under a flexible sharecrop lease.

There is potential for raising chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, goats, cattle, horses, alpaca, or other livestock. Fencing in the acreage, or building another dream home on the land, could transform the property into the quintessential Kentucky Horse farm, ranch, equestrian business or livestock ranch.

There is a wooded area with a natural spring and small stream that could readily be developed into your favorite private family picnic area with nature trails.

The park-like landscaping has extensive flower beds with lilac, daffodils, iris, single and double daylilies, peonies, hydrangeas, clematis, roses, and much, much more. The quarter mile of winding road frontage is a showpiece of daffodils, iris, and daylilies in the spring. In addition, the property is shaded by established old and young trees: Dogwoods, Japanese Maples, Redbuds, Birch, American Maples, Trumpet Trees, Crape Myrtle, Holly, and more. Throughout the year, these flowers and trees provide an ever-changing symphony of color and enjoyment. The lovely red foliage of the Blueberries that surround two sides of the property, chime-in with their glorious voices every fall.

The detached two-car garage is partially finished with rough-hewn cedar planks and provides plenty of shelving and storage space for vehicles, garden tools, and lawn equipment.

The home sits on approximately 2 acres of landscaped lawn, while the entire property is a parcel of 16.46 acres. Your homestead purchase may entail whatever portion of this acreage suitable to your family's needs to accomplish your homestead dreams and goals.

There is an old home site on the property [the old house was burned and buried] which would make a great building site for a second house. Power, water, and septic are already in place and grand old trees provide ready shade.
