Dufont dates from 1784 when original owner William Stuart Hunter acquired 7,000+ acres through a Virginia land grant. Nestled close to town, the estate has been a much-admired social hub & productive farm since its earliest days. Imbued with the spirit of its generations, Dufont's continued vitali...ty has been fostered by an engaged family. These descendants included educators, bankers, veterans, entrepreneurs, farmers, and adventurers, each making a mark on their ancestral land. Like its inhabitants, Dufont contains multitudes. Some Woodford Countians remember Dufont as the site of a candy business and its rare pool as the location where many local children first learned to swim. Today, as in yesteryear, Dufont remains a productive working farm. In addition to its remarkable history, Dufont distinguishes itself with its location and fine soils. The farm abuts storied Thoroughbred nurseries Brookdale and Stonestreet, and neighbors Coolmore at Ashford Stud and Godolphin at Gainsborough Farm. Its 248± acres include extensive road frontage on both McCracken Pike and US-60. Long used for crops and livestock, the farm is enhanced by natural springs and dozens of mature, Kentucky native trees. The majority of the farm's soil is Maury Silt Loam, prized for its rich composition and considered perfect for grazing. More than 98-percent of the farm is rated as "prime farmland" or "farmland of statewide importance" by the USDA. Down a winding drive, a ca. 2010 custom Kentucky farmhouse stands. The residence was thoughtfully constructed with heritage in mind. Utilizing materials from a prior home on the farm, it includes Kentucky limestone and reclaimed brick. Warm and inviting, its quiet simplicity provides an ideal backdrop for family gatherings. Wood reclaimed from a tobacco barn and warehouse perfectly frame the living spaces, while conveniences like geothermal HVAC and a Generac generator add modern comfort. Welcoming outdoor porches, including a screened-in porch off the kitchen, connect the home with its surroundings. Directly adjoining the main residence are a historic train car and in-ground pool. Further living space is found in the main residence's historic guesthouse, separate farm manager's home, and two residences located at 131 & 133 Camden Avenue - all included in this offering.
