A Rare Opportunity to Own and Live in the Former Governor’s Mansion of Kentucky. When John Y Brown was Governor of Kentucky and married to Miss America, Phyllis George, this 1821 Historical Landmark was the official Governors Mansion of Kentucky. Lovingly restored, yet retaining all the elegance and grandeur of a bygone era, this 8,260 sq. ft. mansion sits on 17 acres of rolling, emerald green pastures studded with huge towering trees. On this estate is a pool and pool house, stables, tennis court and a very valuable natural spring with unlimited income potential.
