815 Simon Greenwell Ln

This one-of-a-kind custom home was built by love as a retreat from the ordinary. The eco-friendly house nestles into the side of the hill and blends into to the woods around it so well that birds and wildlife come by without fear. It has many custom features, from the living-room-sized deck overlooking the woods and the creek on the property, to the two-way fireplace connecting the open-plan living spaces, to the clerestory windows and strategically placed skylights above the catwalk connecting the second-level bedrooms. The house is clad outside in softly weathered red pine, and inside in white pine paneling, creating a cozy cabin feeling despite the sizeable square footage. Other eco-friendly features include subfloor radiant heat, a constructed wetland, and partial berm construction at the rear that helps keep it cool in summer and warm in winter. With two bedrooms on each floor, and three full bathrooms (all on the main floor) there is plenty of room for a full house, or a study and a hobby room with great light. A cedar-lined mud room is wired for a possible sauna installation, while a hard-wired burglar, smoke, and carbon monoxide alarm system adds security. A spacious garage and over three acres of woods and meadow near the Beech Fork River complete this special property, which is located 15 miles from historic Bardstown and 10 from Elizabethtown, and within an hour or so drive of the culture and shops of Louisville, Lexington, and the many historical and natural attractions in the surrounding area. Don't let this special property pass you by! The structure does not require additional flood insurance. FEMA Certification documents are available upon request.
