Kentucky Quarry Estate With 7-Acre Lake Listed for $995,000

A distinctive waterfront estate encompassing a private quarry and a 7-acre lake has been listed for sale in Columbia, Kentucky, with an asking price of $995,000. The property spans 27 acres and features a custom-built, four-bedroom residence constructed in 2020 on the edge of a limestone bluff that was once part of an active rock quarry. This transformed landscape now serves as a private recreational area, complete with a lake suitable for fishing, swimming, and boating.

The residence itself offers 1,264 square feet of living space and boasts a modern open floor plan. Interior highlights include a kitchen equipped with granite countertops, a two-story living room featuring a fireplace, a loft area, and direct access to a covered outdoor deck with a hot tub. For direct access to the lake, the property includes a private boat ramp. Additionally, a waterfront pavilion is situated on the grounds, designed for entertaining guests and enjoying the surrounding scenery. The property is further characterized by its dramatic limestone cliffs.

This unique estate was initially brought to the market in June with an asking price of $1.2 million. The current price reduction to $995,000 reflects a significant adjustment from its original listing. The property's history indicates it last sold for $59,500 in 2014, prior to the construction of the current custom home. The listing has garnered significant attention, positioning it as one of the week's most popular homes.
