Most Expensive Homes in Louisville Kentucky

It’s that time again! Each year I track the most expensive homes in Louisville Kentucky. These are homes that are sold, not houses that have stayed with their current owners. If that were the case, it’d be the same homes each time and that’s no fun.

Last year we saw properties from the $1.32 million house on Belknap Beach Road all the way up to the 170-acre tract of land that sold for $2,150,000. I’m wondering if we should include land in our survey. What do you think? No? Okay, sounds good.

Going forward, no land, only the cream of the crop, the most expensive houses… wait, what about condos? I mean, if one of these penthouse apartments in Waterfront Park Place or The George sold for more than a million, we’d want to see that, right? Yes? Great! I love that we’re all on the same page.
