Ellerslie is located off the Richmond Road corridor across from Jacobson Park and next to Lake Ellerslie, a private fishing lake.  Ellerslie offers convenient access to both Man O’ War Blvd and I-75 at Exit 104…just a few miles to either road.

Ellerslie has a beautifully landscaped stone entrance and a country setting with black horse farm style fencing.  The community features traditional and estate homes stretched across 300 acres of gently rolling hills with over 70 acres of open park-like greenspace.  The neighborhood also boasts a custom-made fountain in the middle of a round-about on the main boulevard for informal gatherings.

Ellerslie was developed a few years ago, but the original farm dates back to 1787.  One of Lexington’s first landowners was Levi Todd, and his farm stretched all across the Richmond Road corridor.  Parts of the original farm were developed a long time ago into many prestigious neighborhoods in the Chevy Chase area. 

Levi Todd built a two-story brick home on this land and he named the home “Ellerslie” after his native home in Scotland.  Today, the name has been rekindled and it represents one the finest neighborhoods in all of Lexington.
