A single-pen, two-story log cabin made of white oak logs, the Thomas Barbee House features a first-floor, open-living concept with a modern kitchen and inviting living room with a gas fireplace.

Set along the gently rolling farmland of Steele Road, Old Mansion Farm—also known historically as Canebrake—reflects the early settlement era of Woodford County. The property's origins trace to the late 18th century, a period when Kentucky had only recently achieved statehood and the Bluegrass region was being shaped by its first permanent farms. The home's circa 1796 construction date, preserved through long standing local records and ownership tradition, places it among the earlier residences established in the Clear Creek corridor. Historical accounts note that four homes were built by brothers in this area, each positioned on elevated ground with natural springs nearby—an early and practical siting strategy that contributed to the longevity of these farmsteads. Old Mansion Farm fits squarely within this pattern, its hilltop location reflecting the priorities of the region's first agricultural families. The surrounding landscape would have originally been defined by the dense native canebrakes that once covered much of Central Kentucky, a feature that likely inspired the property's long used name. Early farmers in this part of Woodford County commonly named their land for natural landmarks, and the Canebrake name appears to have endured across generations of private ownership. While not formally listed on state or federal historic registers, the property embodies characteristics typical of early Bluegrass farmsteads: a central home site positioned on elevated ground, agricultural acreage extending outward from the main residence, and a layout oriented toward both self sufficiency and the region's developing agrarian economy. Its long tenure as a working farm contributes to its local significance, reflecting the continuity of rural land use that has defined this part of Woodford County for more than two centuries. Today, Canebrake stands as a rare example of an early Kentucky homestead that has remained privately held throughout its history. Its setting, scale, and enduring name connect the modern property to the foundational period of settlement in the Versailles area, offering a tangible link to the county's earliest patterns of architecture, land ownership, and agricultural development. The home underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2003, during which a substantial addition with expansive porches was constructed. Geo thermal heating and cooling were installed at that time and operate across three zones, enhancing efficiency while preserving the home's historic character. In 2013, the deck and pool were added, further integrating modern amenities into the historic setting. The Seller's Disclosure includes a recent home inspection as well as a brief history of the current owners' upgrades and renovation work since purchasing the property.

"Hello, I'm 130 East Union. I've stood proudly for more than a century, and while my current owners may have covered some of my walls with wallpaper over the years, beneath it all I'm still the same grand home I've always been. Did you notice my beautiful original doors? They've been welcoming family, friends, and neighbors for generations, and they're still here to welcome you home today. Where else can you find bedrooms this massive, original hardwood flooring, and beautiful original wood trim that has survived the test of time? I sit on approximately 3.8 acres, giving me the feel of a mini farm while still being conveniently close to town. I've hosted family gatherings, raised children, and created memories for more than 100 years. My fireplaces, spacious rooms, and timeless character tell a story that simply can't be replicated in today's construction. And did I mention that I have three extremely large walk-in closets? Homes of my era weren't known for abundant closet space, making this a rare feature that you'll appreciate every day. With a little vision and love, I can once again showcase the craftsmanship and charm that make historic homes so special. I'm ready for my next chapter and for a new family to create memories within my walls. If you're looking for space, character, acreage, and a home with a story to tell, I'd love to meet you. Please help me find my next owner and continue the legacy I've been building for over a century."
