Picture this — you wake up in one of 10 enormous bedrooms in the middle of a fully-furnished, 17,000-sqft-mansion on Paris Pike. Yawning and stretching, you look out the window over a magnificent vista featuring some of the world’s most esteemed horse farms.

Inspired, you head to your 18-stall horse barn for a brisk morning ride across 60+ private acres of inviting Kentucky countryside.

After warming up with a long ride, what could be better than cooling down with a swim? Alongside a 13,000-sqft pool house, this resort style spa + swimming pool combo is the perfect place for a post-gallop dip.

Floating in the pool you admire the Colonial architecture of the estate, the timeless appeal of the gable roof and columned entrances, and the beautiful brickwork throughout.

What’s it take to wake up to a dream like this?
