220 Sylvan Way: Space, Privacy, and Nature in Lancaster, Kentucky

Some homes are really about the setting, and 220 Sylvan Way in Lancaster, Kentucky is one of them.

Sitting on 1.79 wooded acres in Nature’s Trace, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home has approximately 3,780 square feet of finished living space. It’s spacious, private, and surrounded by the kind of Kentucky scenery that makes you want to spend a little more time outside.

And with Tom Dorman State Nature Preserve nearby, there’s even more to explore beyond your own backyard.

 

The Setting Is Hard to Beat

One of the first things I noticed about this home is how peaceful it feels.

Mature trees surround the property, and the composite back deck looks out toward the woods. It’s easy to picture morning coffee out here, dinner on the deck, or just sitting outside at the end of the day listening to the birds.

If you’re moving to Kentucky because you want a little more room, more privacy, and a break from neighborhoods where the houses feel stacked on top of each other, this is the kind of property worth seeing.

Take a look at the photos and full details for 220 Sylvan Way.

 

Nearly 3,800 Square Feet to Actually Live In

Inside, there’s plenty of room without the home feeling like one big open space.

The main-level family room has a fireplace and large windows that keep the wooded surroundings in view. You’ll also find the primary bedroom on the main floor, an eat-in kitchen, hardwood and ceramic tile flooring, and an attached three-car garage.

With four bedrooms and nearly 3,800 square feet of finished space, you have options. Kids, guests, a home office, hobbies, or simply having separate places where everyone can spread out.

But one of the most useful parts of this home is downstairs.

 

A Lower Level That Feels Like a Second Living Space

The finished walkout basement gives this home a lot of flexibility.

There’s a second full kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, a large living area, full bathroom, additional flex space, and a two-sided gas-log fireplace.

If you have parents or adult children living with you, regularly host family from out of town, or simply want a separate area for guests, this setup makes a lot of sense.

It could also work well as a recreation area, home office, hobby space, or just another comfortable place to hang out.

There’s even a rear utility garage, which is great for storing lawn equipment, tools, outdoor gear, or all the things you don’t necessarily want taking up space in your main garage.

 

Tom Dorman State Nature Preserve Is Nearby

If you love the outdoors, this part of Garrard County has something pretty special nearby.

Tom Dorman State Nature Preserve protects approximately 908 acres in the Kentucky River Palisades region.

According to The Nature Conservancy, the preserve includes forest, rare plants, Kentucky River frontage, and dramatic limestone palisades that rise approximately 220 feet above the river.

The Garrard County portion is open to the public year-round from sunrise to sunset. There’s also a roughly two-mile forest trail leading toward the Kentucky River, with opportunities for hiking, birding, and simply getting outside and enjoying a part of Kentucky that many people never get to see.

This Is Why People Move to Kentucky

I talk to a lot of people who are considering a move to Kentucky, and their wish lists tend to sound pretty similar.

They want some land. They don’t want their neighbor right outside the window. They want trees, privacy, and enough house for family to visit. They still want to be able to get to town without feeling like they live in the middle of nowhere.

That’s why I think 220 Sylvan Way is worth a look.

You’re getting 1.79 wooded acres, nearly 3,800 square feet of finished living space, a three-car garage, a finished walkout basement with its own kitchen, and a beautiful natural setting.

And honestly, photos can only tell you so much about a property like this.

You need to stand on the back deck and look out at the trees. You need to walk through the lower level and see how separate it feels from the main living space. You need to see whether you can picture yourself living here.

If you’re looking for a home with more room and privacy in Central Kentucky, I’d be happy to show you around.
