Summary:
Picture six bedrooms filled with your favorite people, a pergola-shaded hot tub
steaming under the stars, and a fire pit crackling just three miles from downtown
Lexington. This fully renovated Southland home sleeps 12 without anyone touching an
air mattress. Mornings start with coffee on the patio; nights end trading stories by the
fire. Keeneland, UK, and Lexington's best bourbon are minutes away — the rest of the
weekend is yours.
The Space:
This isn't a house you visit — it's a house your whole crew disappears into for a
weekend. Six bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and 7 beds spread across two floors mean
nobody is negotiating over air mattresses or the pull-out couch.
The main-floor primary suite is the quiet retreat: a plush king bed, a private en suite
with a walk-in shower, and enough distance from the shared spaces to actually sleep
in. Upstairs you'll find three additional king bedrooms — bright, calm, and ready for couples or grandparents who want their own door to close. The shared upstairs
sleeping area rounds things out with two queen beds and its own TV-equipped
common area, where the cousins camp out for movie night while the adults wind down
downstairs.
Bathrooms are split thoughtfully: the primary's en suite, a second-floor full bath
stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and soap, and a half bath on the main floor by the
laundry room.
The heart of the house is the open-concept main floor, where a newly remodeled
kitchen — four-seat island, updated cabinets, full appliance package — flows into an
8-seat farmhouse dining table and a living room built for lounging. Cook a real meal
for twelve, then carry plates straight to the table without missing the conversation.
Out back, the fully fenced yard is where this place earns its keep: a pergola-covered
hot tub running year-round, a fire pit for the nights that run late, a patio for lounging,
and a grill fired up for cookouts.
A dedicated workspace, in-unit washer/dryer, and high-speed WiFi mean this house
works just as well for a remote-work week as it does for a Keeneland weekend.
WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
This home is built for groups who want space, not a hotel hallway. Multi-generational families booking a reunion will love that grandparents, parents, and kids each get real
privacy instead of sharing one cramped suite. Keeneland race-weekend groups and
UK game-day crews get a home base minutes from the action with room to spread
out. Wedding parties and milestone birthday trips (we've hosted more than a few)
appreciate the mix of communal spaces — the farmhouse table, the hot tub, the fire
pit — plus enough bedrooms that nobody's sharing a bed with a near-stranger. Horse
show travelers — we've hosted groups in town for the Horsey 100 — need exactly this:
close to the venues, big enough for the whole crew. Remote-work groups will
appreciate the dedicated workspace for a week that feels like home.
Guest Access:
Guests will receive a 4-digit code to access the smart lock on the front door for a seamless and secure check-in experience.
The Neighborhood:
The property is in the Southern Heights neighborhood, a quiet, residential, suburban, and family-oriented area in southwestern Lexington. Location-wise, it's fairly accessible to major roads, making it reasonably easy to get into other parts of the city by car. There are a number of restaurants along nearby Southland Drive.
Getting Around:
LOCATION & WHAT'S NEARBY
You're three miles — about 8 minutes — from downtown Lexington's restaurants,
breweries, and Rupp Arena. The University of Kentucky campus is roughly 10 minutes
away, a natural home base for game weekends and campus visits.
Horse country is the real draw. Keeneland Race Course is about 15 minutes by car,
and the Kentucky Horse Park — home to the Rolex Grand Prix and International
Museum of the Horse — is roughly 20-25 minutes north. Woodford Reserve Distillery
is about 30 minutes away and Buffalo Trace in Frankfort is around 35-40 minutes,
both easy bourbon-trail day trips.
Closer to home, Southland Drive itself is walkable — local restaurants, Southland
Bagel, boutique shops, and a Sunday farmers market (April-October) sit around the
corner, plus Fayette Mall is about 5 minutes away. For a bigger adventure, Red River
Gorge is roughly 75 minutes east for a hiking day trip.
Drive times are approximate and will vary with traffic.
PARKING
Parking accommodates up to 6 vehicles between the private driveway and additional
street parking directly out front — plenty of room for a multi-car group or a couple of
families arriving separately. One note: please don't block neighboring driveways when
using street parking. Per local ordinance, vehicles that do will be towed, so we ask
everyone to be mindful of the neighbors on this quiet residential street.
