How far is Lexington and Louisville?
Lexington - KY's favorite city is just 28 miles = 35 minutes;
Louisville is 70 miles = 1 hr and a little. Lexington is
sprawling south towards Danville. There are a number of
shopping opportunities closer than "downtown"
Lexington. Several in Nicholasville, just twenty minutes
away. If you can't find it in Danville (rare),
Lexington/Nicholasville has everything.

How is the cost of living in the Harrodsburg / central Kentucky area?
Cost of
living is, what I consider, some of the lowest in the country.
Groceries are similar to most parts of the country as is
gasoline, etc. However, for most people taxes and insurance are some of
their greatest expenses. Property tax rates are approximately
.0092- example a new home on a few acres worth $100,000 -
taxes are $920 per year. Insurance companies
vary, but we have some of the lowest insurance rates in the country.
Electric is another great deal here. We have two different
electricity providers - depending on area - it
is either 3.9 cents or 5.2 cents per kWh (2004 rates).
Are there opportunities in
the area?
There are many opportunities here. There are not
enough
services for the population that we have. A lot of people
like to work at the college, factories or hospital here because of the
benefits. Which leaves a huge opportunity for service
businesses and tourism is big here also. Jobs - pay may be
lower here compared to NY or CA, but expenses are way lower. I
personally think the lifestyle is far better here. Ours is.
Without exorbitant expenses, you are given many freedoms and
opportunities to spend this extra cash on yourself or your future.
We talk about costs of living, but quality of life is more important to us here. The Bluegrass region has spectacular landscape and scenery and we are close to great antique shopping, all of historic bourbon distilleries, several wineries and several cities. There is always a day trip or weekend trip to enjoy.
just 18 miles away is Award-Winning, Talon Winery - what a glorious place

and then there's Elk Creek Vineyards nearby - along with 18 others

and of course, there are the Bourbon distilleries!
We are becoming known as the Napa Valley of Bourbon and here's why - Bourbon is Kentucky and we are rapidly becoming the tourist attraction to the younger crowd. Boomers are interested in Wine, but Gen Xers are now more interested in Distilled Spirits and we are in the right place at the right time.

A lot of people ask us about the area weather. Originally from the NorthEast, I think this is a weather bargain. All four seasons, none too harsh or long. I often get asked if we have snow. Sometimes yes, some years no. When we do get snow, it is usually 2" or 3", 2 or 3 times a year and it lasts for 2 or 3 days. That is a fair answer. No hurricanes, no crazy weather like that.
Magazine features Danville as place to retire
HOUSTON - Where to Retire magazine, the only magazine in America geared to helping people with retirement relocation, has selected Danville to profile as a top retirement spot in its January/February issue.
According to editor Alan Fox, Danville has many of the qualities that are important to today's retirees.
"Historic and scenic Danville is a Kentucky Certified Retirement Community. Full of country charm with rolling hills, sprawling horse farms and recreational opportunities on lakes, rivers and streams, Danville is ideal for nature lovers. Centre College and the Community Arts Center draw entertainment like touring Broadway shows, concerts, lectures and numerous festivals. Several area colleges also offer continuing education classes. With five districts on the National Register of Historic Places, a thriving cultural scene and plenty of outdoor activities, Danville offers retirees a well-rounded lifestyle," Fox said.
Each year, 700,000 Americans move to new towns to retire.
Generally healthier, better educated and more affluent than retirees who stay put, relocating retirees bring significant economic benefits to their new states and home towns. Nationally, two dozen states and hundreds of towns seek to attract retirees as a source of economic development.
Where to Retire magazine was launched in 1992 with the goal of helping its readers find the ideal place to retire. It has a national circulation of 220,000.

What's the Weather
Like here?
You can see below the 4 inches +/- per month average of rain that usually comes in short bursts, then the sun comes out. With plenty of water and abundant sunshine - it is no wonder how we keep these rolling, bluegrass fields so lush and green.
People often ask about snow - an honest answer is - we get 2"-3" at a time, 2 - 3 times a year, and it is gone in 2 -3 days. now sometimes we get 6", but I see it many years where we get no snow all year.
What about
Financing?
Seller may help with
financing if needed -
A lot of our clients first call their local bank. Most banks do not lend on land out of state - that just makes sense, right?
Good financing
is easily available here. There are tons of lenders right here in
Harrodsburg/Danville/Lexington who lend on land, a home or
rental property

Land sells quickly and when its gone, its gone. Start a Legacy, own a piece of the Bluegrass.
We just had guests in from out of state and we were driving them around the area - they said "Wow, this looks like Ireland, Tuscany or Provence - stone walls, rolling hills, everything green." That is quite a compliment to us here, we think it is beautiful too.
CNN . com and Business2 . com have recently had several articles stating the SouthEast is the most undervalued area in the nation. What does that tell you? Massive appreciation is coming as more people discover Kentucky and the high quality of life we have - and that our land prices and our cost of living are "on sale".
How much longer can you afford to put off your dream?
