Sealed Bid Auction - Bids Due Friday, July 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET. For complete terms, bidder registration, and offering documents, visit www.ClaudiaSandersAuction.com. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire Blackwood Hall, the historic residence of Colonel Harland Sanders for approximately 25 years and one of Kentucky's most significant hospitality landmarks. Built in 1866, this remarkable 5-bedroom, 4-bath home served as the Colonel's primary residence during the period when Kentucky Fried Chicken experienced unprecedented national and international growth. The property's original garage (no longer standing) served as the early headquarters of Kentucky Fried Chicken before operations later moved into the adjacent commercial building. Following the sale of Kentucky Fried Chicken, Colonel and Claudia Sanders personally selected Tommy and Cherry Settle to carry on their hospitality legacy. On August 1, 1974, the Sanders family moved out of Blackwood Hall as the Settle family moved in the very same day. The Settle family has faithfully preserved the home and its history for more than fifty years. The residence features approximately 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, gracious historic architecture, and exceptional character throughout. Blackwood Hall is eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, offering the potential for historic rehabilitation tax credits, subject to buyer verification and approval by the appropriate agencies. Potential future uses include continued residential occupancy, boutique inn, bed & breakfast, executive retreat, museum, hospitality destination, bourbon tourism experience, or other adaptive uses, subject to zoning and governmental approvals. Blackwood Hall is being offered as part of the Claudia Sanders Dinner House & Blackwood Hall Sealed Bid Auction, creating a rare opportunity to become the next steward of one of Kentucky's most recognizable historic properties.
