The Historic Triangle -
Perryville, Harrodsburg and Danville, KY

on the east side of the Historic Triangle 
is Danville, KY

This area still holds on to the small town values that make it a great place to raise a family, have a business or live economically in retirement. Danville, our shopping town just a few minutes away is also home to one of Kentucky's best colleges, Centre College. Centre is home to Norton Center For The Arts and hosts the site of The Great American Brass Band Festival (GABBF), an annual event that alone draws over 50,000 people each year. Panasonic, Caterpillar, Hobart, R.R. Donnelly (one of the largest printers in the world), American Greetings, and Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center are just a few of the companies that have chosen to do business in Danville. Go to Danville-KY to learn more about the Danville. Go to KYLandSales to find out more about the Wilderness Trace Region.

This is one of Centre College's buildings

and Norton Center for the Arts

we get all the world-class shows here. Recently - David Copperfield, Bowfire, Cats, Steve Terrell, MoMix, Melissa Manchester, Garrison Keillor, Leon Redbone, James Galway, Fiddler on the Roof, etc, etc

Norton Center is a lot of fun - we go to dinner at our favorite restaurant in town Freddie's (Italian), walk to the show and in 10 minutes, we are back home sitting on the porch.

here, we enjoy life at a more leisurely pace -

The Great American Brass Band Festival is a hoot - we get 50,000-55,000 people to come to our little college town of Danville for a week every June. This is a can't miss event - bands playing in the streets, parades, balloon race, fireworks and "the picnic". This is Norman Rockwell alive!

yes, it really is this fun!

FAQs: How far away is civilization?

 

we are within one days drive of 75% of the US population. Hard to imagine, but true.

Danville, Kentucky is in the heart of it all.

and with no traffic jams - 10 miles usually means 10 minutes.

With thousands of square miles of rolling, Kentucky bluegrass around you, you are still less than a few miles to: Starbucks, a Wal-Mart Super Center, an 8 plex theatre, Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Country Hearth Motel, Best Western, 2 Chinese Restaurants, one Chinese Jumbo Buffet, Western Sizzlin, Reno's Texas Steakhouse, McDonalds, Dairy Queen, Kroger Super Center (supermarket)...

Super Kmart, 135,000 square foot Lowe's (Like Home Depot), Cracker Barrel, Long John Silvers, Wendy's, more than a Dozen Banks, Taco Bell, 2 Pizza Huts, Applebee's, Captain D's, a BlockBuster, four Mexican restaurants, Shoney's, a Med Center, a Doctor's Park, the Regional Med Center, more...

NOTE - I mentioned we have a Cracker Barrel - Cracker Barrel never builds a store away from an Interstate - they built one here because Danville attracts business from 19 counties. Our Chamber of Commerce is 450 members strong. Danville is open for business.

The Historic Triangle -
Perryville, Harrodsburg and Danville, KY

Main Street is cute as a button - Antique shops, restaurants, shops, etc

This is Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill - it is a living history museum just 3 miles +/- from 1445 Mundy's Landing

       

to the West - just a few miles down the road is Perryville, KY. Perryville has two stop lights, two convenience stores (with hot breakfast, lunch and dinners),
World Famous Jimmie's Barber shop, two banks, an antiques shop and a few churches. It is Mayberry, RFD without a doubt.

Perryville Civil War Re-enactment and Commemoration Weekend - 1st weekend in October every year - this is a fantastic thing to do with the kids and grandkids. We always bring our guests to the reenactment - they are always quite impressed - it is awesome to see.

http://HistoricPerryville.com/

On October 8, 1862, the Civil War Battle of Perryville raged near the town of Perryville, Kentucky. After five hours of fighting, more than 7,500 soldiers were killed. Cannonballs and bullets struck local homes and nearly every building and barn served as a hospital for the suffering troops.

Drawings and signatures of wounded soldiers remain on local walls. This battle was the South's final attempt to take Kentucky for the Confederacy and was the largest fight on Kentucky soil.

Each year, on the weekend close to the actual battle, the Perryville Re-enactment and Commemoration Weekend is held at the Perryville Battlefield.

The re-enactment events are held on 600 acres of pristine Battlefield site, as well as in the historic town of Perryville, where Merchants Row stands much as it did in 1862 when the Confederate and Union armies clashed on October 8. For more information about Perryville and the Civil War Battle of 1862 check out the web site of Perryville dot net.

Perryville is a quaint little town featured in Country and Western Music Video "My Town" by MontgomeryGentry, great song, great video, great group - great town.

I guess that's why Eddie Montgomery still lives here.

Lexington's Civic Center at Triangle Park -

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.

How are the schools in the area?

Our local scholastic program has one of the top rankings in the state and can be compared to any school system in the country.  We have many people who move to the area and do this comparison and they are satisfied to impressed.

Boyle County High's Football program has something to be proud of.  They have only lost two games in the past four years. According to statistics, that makes the Boyle County's football team, the best high-school football team in national history.  There will be a lot of offers of scholarships coming our way. For more info http://www.boyle.k12.ky.us/  Also see http://apps.kde.state.ky.us/report%5Fcard/ for all schools report card.

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 - US Bank, Bluegrass Community, First Southern, Ag Credit, PNC, Heritage Community, etc, etc.
I am sure you will have a few more questions. Call me, I am glad to help.

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?
