Covered Bridge is a stunning estate
on 111 beautiful acres
in the heart of Kentucky horse country
From the moment you drive through the stone-columned main gate and get your first look at the magnificent vista before you, you know you're somewhere special. As you drive along the winding half-mile driveway, the unique beauty of this place becomes even more apparent. It is arguably the most beautiful estate in all of Kentucky. At the end of your scenic drive stands a stately 8,294 square foot Georgian Manor. You will also find a 4,537 square foot log cabin guest house, a stunning swimming pool with a three-story pool house, a huge party barn, a state-of-the-art equestrian facility and a pristine 1.2 acre lake with a waterfall, pier and boat ramp. Not only is Covered Bridge breathtakingly beautiful, it's also a modern, working horse farm with all the necessary facilities and equipment. And that's only the beginning ...

Indescribable Estate
Describing Covered Bridge in a few words is impossible. Exquisite. Luxurious. Sprawling. Sophisticated. Rustic. Breathtaking. Impressive. Immaculate. Picturesque. All these words and more can be woven together into a narrative about this special place and still not convey the magnificence of this Kentucky Estate. It must be experienced.
Stately Georgian Manor
The 8,294 square foot Georgian Manor house is the impressive centerpiece of Covered Bridge. Stunning architectural features abound with beautiful arched leaded glass doorway transoms, gleaming hardwood floors, detailed wainscoting and dentil crown molding. And the formal dining room features an amazing Zuber wallpaper scene.
Log Cabin Guest House
The 4,537 square foot log cabin guest house was built in 2008 and its rustic beauty is a perfect complement to the luxurious main house. The huge stone fireplace in the great room invites you to sit down and warm your feet and the rest of the house is a study in design and decorating. The guest house sleeps 14 comfortably.
Covered Bridge Farm
Despite its breathtaking beauty, Covered Bridge is a working Kentucky horse farm with all the equestrian amennities you could imagine. A large well-designed barn, fully-fenced outdoor riding arena and four run-in sheds are just a few of the facilities you will find here.
The Beautiful Grounds
The gated entrance leads you through a covered bridge and along the paved winding half-mile drive overlooking manicured pastures, rows of black board fencing, beautiful rural vistas and sparkling water features. There are two gated entrances and irrigation for all landscape and grass areas.
The Pool and Pool House
The recently-added $1 million pool and three-story pool house are simply amazing! Cut limestone terracing, an outdoor fireplace with drop-down TV, brick walls, wrought iron fencing, a spacious pool deck, a relaxing hot tub and lush landscaping showcase this outdoor space.
