Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) The second floor features smaller rooms which could be used as store rooms or additional bedrooms. Forest Hill was built in 1855 by Hawkins Middleton who had been a steamboat captain on the Mississippi River and modelled the home after those he had seen along its banks. The home was built with cypress wood imported from New Orleans. Middleton's wife, Mary Jane, was the niece of Lt. Presley Neville O'Bannon, the marine who raised the American flag over Tripoli in 1805. In the late 19th century, Forest Hill was the country home of Sally Ward, "The Belle of Louisville" and her husband Major George Downs. In the 20th century, the farm served as a thoroughbred breeding operation until 1946. The property also features a 20th century home built in 1987 by builder Donald Hamilton. This beautiful Cape Cod features a long front porch, 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 1 half bath, 2 car attached garage and has almost 4700 square feet which includes part of the finished basement. A large metal implement shed and three barns are also located on the property. This 143 acre farm has a great amount of road frontage on two roads, has a spring fed lake teeming with fish and has several small creeks running through the property. Wildlife like deer and turkey are abundant. This farm is a hunter's dream. This estate also has a rare buffalo trace which ran through the property in prior centuries. The opportunities are endless--a great property for a bed and breakfast featuring two homes, an ideal property for use as an event venue, a working cattle or horse farm, a farm for growing grain, a hunter's retreat or for development since the front and rear of the property has access to a public road.
