If you’re searching for a neighborhood that offers space, privacy, and a prime location near Lexington, Quail West in North Madison County deserves a closer look.

In this episode of On the Road with #MARCUMsold, Amanda Marcum takes viewers on a drive-through tour of Quail West - one of the most established acreage communities just north of Richmond, Kentucky.

📍 Location, Location, Location

Quail West is located in North Madison County, just across the Kentucky River from Lexington and Fayette County. Situated near I-75, Exit 97, it offers exceptional convenience for commuters and those who want quick access to:

  • Hamburg shopping and dining in Lexington
  • Winchester and surrounding communities
  • North Richmond amenities

Many residents find they’re actually closer to Lexington’s Hamburg area than to Richmond Centre, making this neighborhood ideal for buyers who want acreage living without sacrificing access.

🌳 Acreage Living with Thoughtful Planning

Developed in 2003, Quail West features 91 total lots, all with a minimum of one acre, and some stretching up to seven acres. The neighborhood was thoughtfully designed around Madison County’s rolling topography, creating:

  • Sloping lots with walkout basements
  • Wooded ravines and tree-lined backdrops
  • Homes perched along ridges for added privacy and views

It’s a perfect blend of open pasture-style land and natural wooded area - true to Madison County’s agricultural roots.
