The Pope family has settled on a house in Lexington. Or, rather, an estate in a gated community just outside Lexington.
The Popes have purchased a home in The Grange Estates, a luxury gated neighborhood on Paris Pike next to the Lexington Country Club. According to the Fayette County Property Valuation Administrator (PVA) online database, the 10,492-square-foot residence was built in 2002 and has six bedrooms, six bathrooms, three half bathrooms, a pool, and a detached three-car garage. It sits on an 11.61-acre lot. Plenty of room for Pope, his wife Lee Anne, and their daughters Ella, Avery, Layla, and Shay.
The house was previously owned by Melanie Glasscock Simpson Conley, a former Lexington TV broadcast journalist and Miss Kentucky. It was assessed for $2.61 million earlier this year, and according to the Fayette County Clerk’s office, Pope purchased it for $4.75 million on July 3. Here’s the photo from the Fayette County PVA:
