The Great

event – bands playing in the streets, parades, balloon race, fireworks

Perryville Civil
War Re-enactment
and Commemoration Weekend – 1st weekend in October every year – this is a fantastic
thing to do with the kids and grandkids. We always bring our guests to
the reenactment – they are always quite impressed – it is awesome to
see.
http://HistoricPerryville.com/

On
October 8, 1862, the Civil War Battle of Perryville raged near the
town of Perryville, Kentucky. After five hours of fighting, more than
7,500 soldiers were killed. Cannonballs and bullets struck local homes
and nearly every building and barn served as a hospital for the
suffering troops.

Drawings and signatures of wounded soldiers remain on local
walls. This
battle was the South’s final attempt to take Kentucky for the
Confederacy and was the largest fight on Kentucky soil.

Each year, on
the weekend close to
the actual battle, the Perryville Re-enactment and Commemoration
Weekend is held at the Perryville Battlefield.

The re-enactment
events are held on
600 acres of pristine Battlefield site, as well as in the historic town
of Perryville, where Merchants Row stands much as it did in 1862 when
the Confederate and Union armies clashed on October 8. For more
information about Perryville and the Civil War Battle of 1862 check out
the web site of Perryville dot net.


Perryville is a
quaint little town
featured in Country and Western Music Video “My Town” by
MontgomeryGentry, great song, great video, great group – great town.

I
guess that’s why Eddie Montgomery still lives here.

Lexington – KY’s favorite city is just 28 miles = 35 minutes;
Louisville is 70 miles = 1 hr and a little. Lexington is
sprawling south towards Danville. There are a number of

Lexington. Several in Nicholasville, just twenty minutes

Harrodsburg/Danville/Perryville area

How is the cost
of living in the Harrodsburg / central Kentucky area?

Cost of
living is, what I consider, some of the lowest in the country.
Groceries are similar to most parts of the country as is
gasoline, etc. However, for most people taxes and insurance are some of
their greatest expenses. Property tax rates are approximately
.0092- example a new home on a few acres worth $100,000 -
taxes are $920 per year. Insurance companies
vary, but we have some of the lowest insurance rates in the country.
Electric is another great deal here. We have two different
electricity providers – depending on area – it
is either 3.9 cents or 5.2 cents per kWh (2004 rates).
Are there opportunities in
the area?
There are many opportunities here. There are not
enough
services for the population that we have. A lot of people
like to work at the college, factories or hospital here because of the
benefits. Which leaves a huge opportunity for service
businesses and tourism is big here also. Jobs – pay may be
lower here compared to NY or CA, but expenses are way lower. I
personally think the lifestyle is far better here. Ours is.
Without exorbitant expenses, you are given many freedoms and
opportunities to spend this extra cash on yourself or your future.
We
talk
about
costs of living, but
quality of life is more important to us here. The Bluegrass
region has
spectacular landscape and scenery and we are close to great antique
shopping, all of historic bourbon distilleries, several wineries and
several cities. There is always a day trip or weekend trip to
enjoy.
just
18 miles away is
Award-Winning, Talon Winery – what a glorious place

and then there’s
Elk Creek Vineyards nearby – along with 18 others



images courtesy of
Elk Creek Vineyards
and of course,
there are the Bourbon distilleries!
We are becoming
known as the Napa Valley of Bourbon and here’s why – Bourbon
is Kentucky and we are rapidly becoming the tourist attraction to the
younger crowd. Boomers are interested in Wine, but Gen Xers
are now more interested in Distilled Spirits and we are in the right
place at the right time.

How are the schools in the area?
Our local scholastic program has one of the top rankings in
the state
and can be compared to any school system in the country. We
have many people who move to the area and do this comparison and they
are satisfied to impressed.
Boyle County High’s Football program
has something
to be proud of. They have only lost two games in the past
four
years. According to statistics, that makes the Boyle County’s football
team, the best high-school football team in national history.
There will be a lot of offers of scholarships coming our way.

A lot of people
ask us about the area weather. Originally from the NorthEast, I think
this is a weather bargain. All four seasons, none too harsh or long. I
often get asked if we have snow. Sometimes yes, some years no. When we
do get snow, it is usually 2″ or 3″, 2 or 3 times a year and it lasts
for 2 or 3 days. That is a fair answer. No hurricanes, no crazy weather
like that.
Magazine
features Danville as place to retire

HOUSTON
- Where to Retire magazine, the
only magazine
in America geared to helping people with retirement relocation, has
selected Danville to profile as a top retirement spot in its
January/February issue.
According to editor Alan Fox, Danville
has many of the qualities that are important to today’s retirees.
“Historic and scenic Danville is a
Kentucky Certified
Retirement Community. Full of country charm with rolling hills,
sprawling horse farms and recreational opportunities on lakes, rivers
and streams, Danville is ideal for nature lovers. Centre College and
the Community Arts Center draw entertainment like touring Broadway
shows, concerts, lectures and numerous festivals. Several area colleges
also offer continuing education classes. With five districts on the
National Register of Historic Places, a thriving cultural scene and
plenty of outdoor activities, Danville offers retirees a well-rounded
lifestyle,” Fox said.
Each year, 700,000 Americans move to new
towns to retire.
Generally healthier, better educated and
more
affluent than retirees who stay put, relocating retirees bring
significant economic benefits to their new states and home towns.
Nationally, two dozen states and hundreds of towns seek to attract
retirees as a source of economic development.
Where to Retire magazine was launched in
1992 with
the goal of helping its readers find the ideal place to retire. It has
a national circulation of 220,000.

What’s the Weather
Like here?
You can see
below the 4 inches +/-
per month average of rain that usually comes in short bursts, then the
sun comes out. With plenty of water and abundant sunshine – it is no
wonder how we keep these rolling, bluegrass fields so lush and green.
People
often ask about snow – an honest answer is – we get 2″-3″ at a time, 2
- 3 times a year, and it is gone in 2 -3 days. now sometimes
we
get 6″, but I see it many years where we get no snow all year.

What about
Financing?
Seller may help with
financing if needed -
A lot of our
clients first call their local bank. Most banks do not lend on land out
of state – that just makes sense, right?
Good financing
is easily available here. There are tons of lenders right here in
Harrodsburg/Danville/Lexington who lend on land, a home or
rental property – US Bank, Bluegrass Community, First
Southern, Ag Credit, PNC, Heritage Community,
etc, etc.
I am sure you will have a few more questions. Call me, I am glad to
help.
