About Burley Ridge
Burley Ridge is Nicholasville’s premier new subdivision with features like no other subdivision in Nicholasville in this price range as well as connections to our family’s history as well as Jessamine County and Central Kentucky. The farm was previously used as a cattle farm as well as a burley tobacco farm, thus the inspiration for the name. But it doesn’t end there. Our grandfather was very active in the burley tobacco business for decades just like many farmers throughout the history of Jessamine County. Mr Ethington ran several tobacco warehouses in Lexington and this was the inspiration for many of the street names. We have tried to choose street names to honor his legacy. Shelburne Way was named after Shelburne Tobacco Warehouse that was located on South Broadway in Lexington just a couple blocks away from Rupp Arena and was where Mr Ethington worked for decades. The logo colors for the development were also taken from the Shelburne logos we grew up seeing. Rogers Rest Court was inspired by Rogers Restaurant which was famous in Lexington and a local favorite for tobacco farmers in the tobacco district.
In keeping with a more rural, and traditional agricultural aura, we have decided to line the entrance and road with four board black plank fencing as well as only allowing this same type of fencing in the subdivision in keeping with an open feeling. All street signs and mailboxes are locally fabricated from Kentucky Ornamental Iron in Lexington with custom designs. The street lights were chosen based on the same color and southern charm.
As our family is from Nicholasville and Jessamine County, we have strived to create a subdivision unlike anything in Nicholasville. We want the homeowners to be proud of their neighborhood and Nicholasville to have a premier development that will attract people to our wonderful city.
