Farmland protected by the Urban Service Boundary
People move beyond the city- and to Yarnallton specifically - for protected farmland, according to Realtor Bob Sophiea with eXp Realty, LLC. "The USB was done to protect the farms, pretty much securing any land over 10 acres outside of Man o' War," he says. Listings in Yarnallton vary widely, from undeveloped single-acre plots for $125,000 to $10 million historic estates on nearly 400 acres. A budget between $500,000 and $1 million can typically buy up to 10 acres, while $1 to $4 million can buy up to 50 acres. Whether looking for an already-built home or land to make their own, buyers can typically find what they want in Yarnallton but will pay a bit more. Long-term real estate investor Matt Moore says, "Houses are a little bit more expensive, but in terms of the United States in general, it's pretty affordable."

This course hosts professional golf events, including the Senior PGA Tour, the Celebrity Players Tour and the PGA Junior Tour Series. Two miles south of the neighborhood, Masterson Station Park is a public park with trails, a playground, a splash pad and a low-cost equestrian program that offers beginner-friendly lessons. Seven miles east, Kentucky Horse Park celebrates not only Kentucky's horse history but the global significance of the animal with the International Museum of the Horse. Visitors can take a trolley ride of the grounds, go for trail rides and meet world-champion horses at its daily Hall of Champions show. The park also hosts seasonal events like the Southern Lights Holiday Festival. "Kentucky Horse Park does a really beautiful holiday lights festival, where you drive through the park, and they have a gazillion different lighted characters and themes," says Realtor Robin Owens.
