Property Description

What an opportunity as few properties in the Bluegrass carry Castleton Farm's pedigree. Established in 1793, this storied land has been shaped by generations of Kentucky's great horsemen — from a U.S. Senator's original breeding operation to the Castleman family's 1840 Greek Revival mansion, which still stands as a landmark of the farm today. Over two centuries, Castleton bred and stood champions across three breeds — Thoroughbreds, Standardbreds, and Saddlebreds — cementing its place among the Bluegrass's most storied nurseries. Today, the farm spans 951 acres and offers an unmatched scale of infrastructure: 16 barns ranging from intimate 4-stall setups to a substantial 30-stall facility, totaling 268 stalls. Ten homes across the property — including several managers' houses — provide ample accommodation for staff, making Castleton as functional as it is historic. This is more than a horse farm; it's a self-sufficient equine operation with two centuries of pedigree behind it, offered for the first time in 25 years to a new steward.
