A Turn-Key Luxury Estate with Rare Event & Short-Term Rental Entitlements
Set along approximately 150 feet of private Ohio River frontage, 3227 & 3227 R River Road is a one-of-a-kind riverfront property offering breathtaking panoramic water views, exceptional privacy, and an unmatched lifestyle just minutes from Downtown Louisville. Situated on a combined 1.178-acre double lot, this thoughtfully renovated property seamlessly blends timeless character with modern amenities in one of the city's most distinctive waterfront settings.
Designed for entertaining on every level, the 3,235-square-foot residence features an exceptional collection of indoor and outdoor living spaces. Highlights include a third-story crow's nest, an expansive second-floor deck with a hot tub overlooking the river, and a massive river-level patio with direct access to two private boat slips capable of accommodating vessels up to 40 feet. Whether hosting intimate gatherings or large celebrations, the property offers a truly unforgettable backdrop.
Inside, the flexible floor plan features four potential bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, multiple living and entertaining areas, and a recently updated chef's kitchen equipped with high-capacity gas appliances, premium finishes, and an open layout ideal for entertaining. A private upper-level suite with a kitchenette and washer/dryer hookups provides additional flexibility for guests or extended family.
A rare Conditional Use Permit (CUP) further distinguishes this property by allowing both short-term rental accommodations, such as Airbnb, and private event venue use—an uncommon entitlement within Louisville's R-4 zoning district. While perfectly suited as a luxury private residence, this unique approval provides owners with the flexibility to host special events or pursue short-term rental opportunities, offering income potential without compromising the home's residential appeal.
Originally part of the historic Louisville Boat Club property dating back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, the estate combines rich local history with modern convenience. Located just seven minutes from Downtown Louisville, NuLu, and Butchertown, and only two blocks from I-71 and I-64, the property offers quick access to Louisville's premier dining, entertainment, and business districts while maintaining the tranquility of a private riverfront retreat.
Rarely does a property combine luxury living, historic significance, exceptional waterfront amenities, and the flexibility afforded by a Conditional Use Permit. 3227 & 3227 R River Road present a truly unique opportunity to own one of Louisville's premier riverfront residences with the added benefit of future hosting and short-term rental potential.
