Hot Homes: Elegant equestrian views

Opulance is an understatement when describing this 10- bedroom, 18-bathroom home on Paris Pike.

Once you’ve picked your jaw up off the floor, we’d like to introduce the newest addition of our Hot Home series.

Say hello to Black Diamond Farm. The luxurious, fully furnished $7.5-million estate located on 3591 Paris Pike is waiting for the next equestrian-loving family to call it home. Boasting ten bedrooms + 18 bathrooms across 17,000 sqft, there are no losing bets here.

Upon entering the home’s foyer, you’re sure to note the wraparound staircase, intricate crown molding, waterfront views, and the feeling that you’ve just walked into a one-of-a-kind house. The first (yes, first) living area features 32 ft floor-to-ceiling windows, a piano at the focus, along with a connected parlor complete with built-in shelves for your library.

In the open-concept kitchen, the wood grain floors and ceilings offer a touch of warmth amidst the opulence. A bar allows guests to mingle, while a second catering kitchen gives your group’s designated cook the space needed to whip up a dinner big enough to accommodate all guests.

Even more eye-catching is the bathroom that will transport you to an Italian garden, with Rococo-style, vine etched pillars surrounding the massive jacuzzi.

And of course, this wouldn’t be a true Kentucky palace without horses. Bonus: This picturesque piece of property is situated on 62 acres of land with an 18-stall barn.
