A property at 1581 N Middletown Rd in Paris sold for $10.50 million, the highest of five reported home sales in the Lexington metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026.

Lexington, Kentucky Metro Area Top 5 Home Sales: Paris Property Sells for $10.50 Million

A 2025 house on the 11th hole at Greenbrier Golf & Country Club, a gated five-acre property in Nicholasville and an updated single-story home in Lexington’s Shadeland neighborhood fill out the Lexington metro area’s five highest reported home sales for the week ending September 20, 2026, a group that combined for $16.29 million. The five closings were recorded between September 14 and September 18, and the four below the Paris sale ran from $950,000 in Versailles up to $2.05 million in Lexington.

Bluegrass Sotheby’s International Realty was the listing brokerage on three of this week’s five reported sales, and Ken J Donworth of that firm held the listing side on both of the top two. The houses themselves reach from a 1978 ranch close to downtown Lexington to one finished in 2025 in the gated Ashford Oaks community, with Paris, Lexington, Nicholasville and Versailles all represented.
