Muddy Ford’s rural scenery and Toyota convenience
Neighboring Georgetown, Kentucky, Muddy Ford is a rural community marked by woods and farmland dotted with hay bales. This area around Muddy Ford Road has some designated wildlife habitats and farms raising anything from annuals to beef cattle and miniature donkeys. The rolling landscape limits some of the farming opportunities, but gives the local blue-collar workforce a chance to find some room at more affordable prices. Muddy Ford borders Georgetown’s Toyota campus, and the community has industrial facilities tied to the carmaker. “The number one enticement to that area is the proximity to Toyota. That’s 5 minutes to Toyota,” says Rita Jones, a farmer and Realtor with Keller Williams. “Number two is it’s a little hillier and not that great a farmland, so sometimes it’s cheaper than some of the flatter land, say, going from Georgetown toward Lexington.”
Homes with room and creek views
Muddy Ford provides room and treats some to creek views. The area has anything from small homes on half-acre lots to upscale and far more spacious properties nestled among the trees. Housing includes ranch-style homes, Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals and new Traditionals. Muddy Ford also has open lots for sale, providing prospective buyers with opportunities to build custom homes. Depending on house and lot sizes, homes go from about $300,000 to $650,000. Land also goes from around $170,000 for a few acres to $2.7 million for dozens of acres.Muddy Ford’s overall CAP Index Crime score is 1 out of 10, below the national average of 4. “We just like the vicinity and the people. You grew up with most of them,” says Mark Wells, owner of the Shawnee Run Farm & Greenhouse. “We don’t take the keys out of the vehicle, and we don’t know where the keys are to the house.”
The Porch Breakfast & Brunch and Georgetown's downtown dining
Located near the Toyota facilities, The Porch Breakfast & Brunch is a rustic establishment serving classic American comfort foods and other products like local honey, apparel and crocheted crafts. Otherwise, Georgetown is the closest place for shopping and dining out.

Dog walking, fishing and hunting at scenic Veterans Memorial WMA
A draw for hunters and anglers, the 2,500-acre Veterans Memorial WMA is among the most popular sites of its kind in the region. Its habitats include hardwood forests and grasslands, home to animals ranging from amphibians to deer. Dog owners enjoy bringing their pups out here and will even spot abandoned homes and farm structures during their walks.
