Historic ''Alta Mont'' was constructed ca. 1802-1816 by John Downing on land purchased from Walker Sanders. Overlooking the bucolic Cane Run, it was owned by Downing descendants until 1886. Today it enjoys frontage on both Lexington Road and Etter Lane, and is only three miles from the Kentucky Horse Park. Two horse barns (32 stalls) are supported by five fields and fourteen paddocks. Additional features include a 4BR/3BA brick manager's home, employee residence, and tobacco barn.
Ideally-located horse farm just minutes from the Kentucky Horse Park and downtown Lexington. Refurbished older home(circa 1800's) with additions and 3 car garage. 2,988 +/- SF manager/guest home plus 2 tenant houses. One new horse barn and 2 older horse barns with a total of 40 stalls. Frontage on Etter Lane also.
