8701 Old Bates Rd

In a part of South Louisville where neighbors wave from the porch and hard work still means something, 8701 Old Bates Rd offers a rare 9.56‑acre canvas for whatever comes next. Tucked between the Gene Snyder and E. Manslick Rd, just off Beulah Church Rd, this gently rolling, wooded tract sits in one of the area’s most genuinely “hometown America” pockets — the kind of place where people look out for each other and take pride in where they live.

The land itself is clean, usable, and entirely outside the floodplain — a major advantage for future planning. With R‑4 residential zoning already in place, the property is well‑positioned for thoughtful development, estate‑style homes, or a private retreat with room to breathe.

The terrain offers a mix of mature trees, soft elevation changes, and natural privacy, giving it that classic Kentucky feel — peaceful, grounded, and full of potential.

Opportunities like this don’t come up often in this part of Jefferson County. Whether you’re a builder, investor, or someone looking to create something lasting, this 9.56‑acre tract delivers the space, setting, and spirit that make South Louisville special.
