The property

259 Three Mile Road is an all-brick home of 6,167 square feet on 15 +/- acres in Lee County, Kentucky. A gated driveway opens onto a long private drive that ends in a turnaround loop at the house, which sits on a ridge with open lawn on one side and wooded edges on the other. The land rolls, and there are creeks on it.

Inside, the formal living room and formal dining room carry crown molding and chair rail. The kitchen is oversized, with cherry-tone cabinetry, an island with a cooktop, double wall ovens and pendant lighting. A home office has built-in white shelving and a desk. The four bedrooms are sizable with generous closets, and a loft sitting area sits at the top of the stairs. There are four full baths and one half bath. Floors are hardwood, tile and carpet.

The finished basement has its own living area with a brick fireplace, a dining area and a full bath. An unfinished section is left for storage or a workshop. The house has three fireplaces in all.

Out back, a covered brick patio with columns and ceiling fans opens to the in-ground pool, which has a diving board and a concrete surround with landscaped beds. A pergola beside the pool holds a built-in outdoor grill. The attached garage fits three cars.

Before you make an offer

Six things a buyer of this property checks, each with its own note.

What does managing 15 acres involve?

Open lawn around the house is mowed or leased; the wooded edges can carry a free Forest Stewardship Program plan from the Kentucky Division of Forestry. At ten acres in agricultural or forestry use, two Kentucky rules enter: the farmland assessment definition and the Agriculture Water Quality Act plan. Managing 15 acres in Lee County.

What does all-brick construction mean for upkeep?

The brick lasts; the mortar joints, weep holes, lintels and sealants are the upkeep items, and Kentucky’s freeze-thaw winters are what wear them. The brick walk-around checklist.

What should a pool inspection cover?

The shell and surround, the circulation equipment, the electrical bonding and the barrier around the water, measured against the Kentucky Residential Code’s 48-inch standard. The in-ground pool checklist.

Who maintains the gated drive and the road?

The drive and its gate are on the parcel and are the owner’s. Whether Three Mile Road is a county-maintained road depends on formal acceptance by the fiscal court, and the Lee County Road Department can confirm it. Who maintains what.

How do septic and well diligence work in Lee County?

The Kentucky River District Health Department holds the onsite sewage permits for Lee County, and the seller’s disclosure form states the water source and sewer type. Read both before ordering inspections. The order of operations.

How will an appraiser treat 6,167 square feet?

Measured to ANSI Z765-2021, with above-grade and below-grade area reported separately. The finished basement is valued but not as living area. How appraisers treat size in a rural market.
