KIMBLES FARMHOUSE is a cozy, spacious home that Kimble built from an old wooden corn crib with his own 2 hands. It is just 5 minutes from Lake Shelbyville, but out in the country where the views and the tranquility of the farm make it seem like you are in your own little paradise! It has 3 large bedrooms that sleep a total of 9 people ( one of the bedrooms is a suite with a bath of its own, 2 sitting chairs and its own dining table), 2 full bathrooms, a large eat in kitchen, an adjoining dining room, an inviting living room for great conversations, a patio with a grill and seating to cook out and take in all the scenery, a laundry room with a washer and dryer, electric plugs for boats, and plenty of parking for your boats, cars and trucks! There is a maximum length of stay of 10 days. If longer is needed you will have to contact and approve through owner.
Kimble's Farmhouse sets on a beautiful hill in the middle of an 80 acre farm that Kimble purchased in 1959 when he was just 19 years old.
It is a working farm where guests can look down over the hillside and see a breathtaking view of the landscape, including cattle that sprinkle the hillside.
The cattle are fed every evening in the feedlot and guests can watch as they come running up the hill and are fed at the silo. There are, at times, bottle calves and guests can witness those feedings as well and try your hand at it, if you would like!
There will be corn and bean plantings in the spring and corn and bean harvests in the fall on the farm.
If you are lucky enough to be there during harvest time, you can probably hitch a combine ride!
We would LOVE to have you as our guests at KIMBLE'S FARMHOUSE!
