If you’re old enough to remember Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous<\/em>, then the name Robin Leach<\/a> might mean something to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you can see where the Louisville lifestyles of the rich and famous congregate. Do you live near one?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

He’s the poor chap whose job it was to travel around the world and witness first-hand the incredible homes of the uber-rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That kind of excess largely does not exist here in Louisville, Kentucky, as it appears that the oceans have a magnetic pull, drawing most of the middle-American billionaires to L.A. or New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it doesn’t mean we don’t have some stunning homes right here in the River City. Let’s take a look at a few luxury homes in Louisville<\/a>, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the start of 2012 until today, there have been 13 properties sold for $1 million or more<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some, this housing recession has been an opportunity to grab equity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s great variety in this list. Simply looking at the age of the home, you’ll find a 3-year-old McMansion in Lake Forest<\/a> ($1,000,000) to a 73-year-old estate house in Cherokee Garden<\/a> ($1,050,000). New money meets old money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most interesting home on the list has<\/em> to be this property located on, believe it or not, Devil’s Elbow Road in Corydon ($1,060,000). Sure, the home rests in the heart of tranquility on 55 quiet acres, but from the exterior, it appears to be a somewhat run-down barn with a very nice patio. Would you pay a million dollars for this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Exterior
The view from the driveway keeps the visitors guessing until they step inside…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Interior
…and they are met with a completely updated and unique mountain home with all the bells and whistles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Few homes are as memorable as this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most impressive home in the group has to be this stately mansion in Mockingbird Valley<\/a> ($1,780,000). Unfortunately, we are not treated to any additional photos but simply viewing the home’s setting and exterior, we know it must be magnificent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in highly sought-after Mockingbird Gardens<\/a>, this attractive home boasts 7,569 finished square feet on 5-plus acres just minutes from downtown Louisville.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From The Highlands<\/a> to Lake Forest<\/a>; and Glenview to Anchorage<\/a>, Louisville has its high-end homes well-dispersed. And, isn’t it better that way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For comparison, there were 15 homes sold last year<\/strong> for over $1m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These ranged from an 11,000-square-foot bought-up bargain in the Estates of Hunting Creek<\/a> ($1,000,000) to a new construction, an English masterpiece in Harrod’s Glen<\/a> ($1,665,870), where $100,000 went to Kosair Charities<\/a> with its sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
