Imagine ending the day on your back deck with nothing behind you but the woods of Tom Dorman State Nature Preserve. This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home in Nature's Trace offers nearly 4,000 sq. ft. of finished living space on 1.79 wooded acres, giving you the space and privacy of a Kentucky home with acreage while keeping Lexington, Nicholasville, Danville, and Richmond within convenient reach. Inside, this spacious home offers plenty of room to gather without giving up places to spread out. The main-level family room centers around a fireplace, while large windows bring the wooded surroundings into view. Step outside onto the composite deck overlooking the property and nature preserve, creating a peaceful outdoor living space for morning coffee, evenings outside, and watching the local wildlife. One of the home's biggest advantages is its flexibility for multigenerational living or extended family. The finished walkout basement functions as a second living space with its own full kitchen featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, a generous living area with a two-sided gas log fireplace, full bath, and additional flex space. Whether you're looking for a home with a second kitchen, space for long-term guests, a home office, or separate living areas under one roof, this floor plan gives you options. Several important updates have already been completed, including a newer roof with transferable warranty, updated HVAC, new gutters, and the composite rear deck. A rear utility garage adds even more usable space for lawn equipment, a golf cart, workshop, recreational gear, or additional storage. If you've been searching for a large home near Lexington with acreage, a multigenerational home in Kentucky, or simply more privacy and room to spread out, this Nature's Trace property brings those features together in a setting that's difficult to replicate. With wooded acreage and Tom Dorman State Nature Preserve directly behind you, you get the quiet of a private Kentucky setting without giving up convenient access to nearby communities.
