Governors Grant Homes for Sale | One-acre-scale Homesites

Governors Grant stands out in Lexington for its one-acre-scale homesites, mature trees, and an amenity package that feels unusually expansive for an established neighborhood. The setting is close to Lake Murray and Lexington's Main Street core, but the streetscape reads more private than convenience-first, with cul-de-sacs, shaded yards, and houses that sit well back from the road.

Community Highlights

Most homes date from the early to mid-1990s, and that first wave still defines the neighborhood: four-bedroom floor plans, three-plus baths on average, large basements, and garages are standard. Homes range from 1992 to 2020, with later custom additions on streets such as Oak Haven Drive and Alston Circle pushing into the upper reaches of the community's price range. Typical homesites land around 0.8 acres, and the current inventory stretches from roughly half-acre lots to 1.2-acre parcels, so outdoor space is a meaningful part of the address rather than a leftover strip of yard.

Brick exteriors are a familiar part of the streetscape, especially on the neighborhood's original houses, but the stronger story is scale and layout. Main-level primary suites, bonus rooms or FROGs, formal dining rooms, hardwood floors, fireplaces, screened porches, and walk-in attic storage appear again and again. Basement floor plans are especially common here, giving many homes extra bedrooms, rec rooms, storage, or office space without crowding the main level.
