This is your chance to own a piece of Kentucky history! Bachelor's Barter is a two and a half story stone house built in the late 1700's and sits on approximately 12 acres surrounded by stone fencing. It was built by Captain Samuel Taylor and then expanded on by his son-in-law John Glover in 1811 with two brick wing additions. Geo-thermal was added to the house in 2008. The original springhouse is on the property with access to Shawnee Run Creek. Additionally there is a two bedroom, one bathroom guest house with a full kitchen and patio across from the open 2 car garage with a workshop. A four stall horse barn was added in 2010 by the current owners. Don't miss your opportunity to own this unique property!
