As the internationally famous "L’Esprit" Arabian horse complex, this
highly improved and world-renowned equestrian estate had entertained and served
dignitaries from around the globe for over two decades. Investors and owners included
many of the world's most wealthy people, from Armand Hammer of Occidental Petroleum
to well-known Japanese Industrialists.
After closing down the facility for sale, the sellers approached Open Lands to structure
a joint venture for the historic sale of this fabulous property, only thirty minutes
outside of Louisville. Within sixty days the entire property was sold, attracting
buyers from both coasts as well as storied local Kentucky breeders. By staving off
a proposed and questionable golf course development, this sale was an excellent
example of re-positioning a premier property with a stellar reputation towards those
who will appreciate its long standing in the community.
