10+ Acres with Historic Home

Prosperous farmer Robert L Henderson built this Princess Anne house shortly after his marriage to Kate Zimmerman in 1889. The large farm spanned The Fayette & Bourbon County line. On the death of Kate Z. Henderson in 1951, the farm was put in trust for daughter Dorothy Henderson Hatton and was first sold in 1995 to Beth and Raymond Clifton.  After dividing the house and 10.97 acres from the much larger farm, the Clifton's, who had never lived in the house, sold it to the present owners in 1996. Delightfully and recently renovated, the pictures speak for themselves.
