Golf Course mansions, traditional subdivisions, townhomes, and a historic district – at 30% less than Lexington!

Kentucky has traditionally boasted of some of the lowest property and property tax, and utility costs. Bourbon County may be the most compelling value in our surrounding area as our average home prices are 34% less than Fayette County (Lexington), and at least 19% lower than any county surrounding Lexington. Property tax rates per capita in Kentucky rank 3rd lowest in the US (see sources below). In Bourbon County your real estate dollar goes farther, and your cost of ownership and utilities, all totaled, will be the lowest in the country.

You will also find surprising the housing options in our market – among your choices that include custom building on a golf course to a stately historical home, or a traditional house in a new or established neighborhood, there are even a few high-end town homes.
