The Toyota plant and sprawling country land

Southeast Scott County houses Georgetown’s decades-old Toyota plant. The facility is one of the region’s leading employers and the Japanese carmaker’s largest auto assembly plant in the world. In addition to the plant and the surrounding industrial area, most of Southeast Scott County consists of sprawling rural landscapes marked by groves of trees, horse farms and winding creeks. Institutions like the Evans Orchard and Cider Mill keep the community active, particularly during the fall when they invite locals to pick fresh fruits and gourds, taste apple ciders or simply visit their sunflower field. “They just have lots of really cool things going on out there,” says Anne Huber, a lifelong Georgetown resident and Realtor with Indigo & Co. Realty. “It’s more rural, the schools are good on that side of town, and it’s close to Lexington, if you’re commuting to Lexington.”

Country living with a slice of suburban homes

Southeast Scott County begins on the outskirts of Georgetown, where homebuyers will find subdivisions filled with contemporary Traditional, Colonial Revival and Craftsman style homes on small lots, no larger than a quarter acre. These homes make up the bulk of the sales in Southeast Scott County and costs mostly range from the upper $300,000s to the upper $400,000s. On the farmland beyond Georgetown’s city limits, ranch-style houses and prominent Colonial Revivals with Greek and Georgian touches sit on multi-acre lots surrounded by vast stretches of fencing. This part of the county will maintain its peaceful setting due to environmental measures limiting development. Homes here have footprints of several thousand square feet and can cost between $800,000 and $1.5 million, depending on size and acreage. Many plots of land here are up for sale, too, and will run between $250,000 and $500,000.

Tasting apple ciders and treats at Evans Orchard

Evans Orchard is the sole cider mill in this part of the state and it sells its pressed beverages in gallon jugs. The farm’s fruits include Honeycrisp and Fuji apples, Asian pears and blackberries. The establishment also has a cafe and store selling treats like apple pies, apple cider doughnuts and candy apples. For those looking to enjoy drinks and warm slices of pizza in a casual atmosphere can go to FatKats Pizzeria & Restaurant. While Golden’s Pub & Deli is a local watering hole that’s easy to spot with its small jockey statues flanking its entrance. Or for drinks near the Toyota plant, craft beer enthusiasts can sample the many selections at Country Boy Brewing. The city of Georgetown offers even more dining options plus chain stores like Kroger and Walmart. “I have all the convenience that I could ever need. It’s not super busy like Lexington, but all the conveniences are right there in the downtown, and Lexington is about a short 20 minutes away,” says Dylan Marson, communications manager for Georgetown/Scott County Tourism.

Farm playground, horseriding and the Cherry Blossom Golf Club

The Evans Orchard farm is usually open between May and December and is a popular local attraction. Its play area features climbable multi-colored tractor tires and tin-metal slides. While other activities include a petting zoo, friendly competitions using hand pitcher pumps and tractor-pulled tours of the grounds. Living in the middle of horse country also means equestrian activities. For example, Scott County borders the Kentucky Horse Park, a regional destination that offers programs like youth riding camps. The 12-mile Legacy Trail also goes through the horse park, providing avid cyclists with a scenic route to/from Lexington. Other nearby recreational amenities include the Cherry Blossom Golf Club, a public 18-hole and championship-caliber course that’s consistently named one of the best grounds in the state.

U.S. 460 connection to downtown Georgetown and Paris

Due to its rural location no public transit buses serve this area. However, residents can take U.S. Highway 460 through the many acres of farmland to reach downtown Georgetown, about 5 miles west. U.S. 460 — the Paris Pike — also goes toward Paris about 13 miles to the east. Other area highways include Interstate 75, which provides a route to Cincinnati about 72 miles to the north. The Georgetown-Scott County Regional Airport handles general aviation, however, most travelers looking to fly out of the state head to the Blue Grass Airport, about 17 miles south. The Georgetown Community Hospital addresses medical needs and anchors a campus with several specialist practices.
