We are thrilled to announce the Rockdale Bourbon Lounge is now open in the fully renovated ca. 1780s springhouse overlooking the pond! It was officially christened with the groomsmen from a wedding hosted on the property yesterday.. Check out the photos!!

Happy Derby Day to everyone from my old Kentucky home (literally from my old Kentucky home)!

The most perfect moment captured last night at deep dusk on the back terrace adjacent to the stone cabin at Rockdale - this is one of the large walnut trees behind the house aglow in the misty sky. I’m overwhelmed with the beauty displayed in this image.

Exciting News: look who may be coming to Rockdale...this is 'Pappy' who was born at Blackacre about 3 weeks ago who we are looking at adopting! Shown here is me with Pappy and granddaughter Edie. For guests who stay at the cabin, you have access to a few miles of trails that connect Rockdale to Blackacre State Nature Preserve....just step out the back door!

Enjoyed a crisp hike yesterday at Rockdale with just a hint of snow with my buddy Finch! Scenic view of the back of the main house, and stone house.

The Courier Journal newspaper recently published a fairly extensive article on the rehabilitation work we have done on both the main house and the stone house at Rockdale.

The current owners are only the property’s fourth owners. and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in the 1980s.
