Roughly 13 miles from Downtown Lexington, Jimtown is an entirely rural neighborhood made up of farmland and horse farms, with only one street of homes altogether. “It’s predominantly land, which is hard to come by in Lexington. There are a few huge farms on Ferguson Road,” says Lana Stephens, a Realtor with The Jury Group Realtors and CEO of beHOME, a division of Bluegrass Eventworks. There may not be much in the area, but homeowners can enjoy beautiful countryside views.
Farmhouses and ranch-style homes
Along Jimtown’s only neighborhood road of houses, homebuyers can find everything from traditional two-story homes to ranch-style homes and farmhouse-inspired ones with front porches. These properties are typically single-family homes with lawns that cost anywhere between $250,000 and $600,000. The rest of the area is dotted with large farmhouses that have acres of property for livestock. “Some of the farms are very expansive, where every front window is a framed picture of Bluegrass lands,” Stephens says. There are farmhouses with modern features, some with Colonial architecture and others that are ranch-style. Depending on square footage, these properties can cost as low as $900,000 and get as high as $3.8 million.
