Price Headley Bell Jr.

Price Bell began his working life in the stables of Mill Ridge Farm, cleaning stalls, turning out horses, and learning the ins-and-outs of horse farm life as a seventh grader. He continued to work summers at Mill Ridge throughout his teenage years. Today, as General Manager, you’ll still often find Price in muddy boots and a Mill Ridge cap, walking the grounds of the farm.

Price is a 2000 Graduate of the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut, where he served as Head Monitor of the school.

He then earned his BS in Economics from Vanderbilt University in 2004, and later his MBA from Vanderbilt Owens School of Business in 2011.

He began a career in real estate in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2005 for Parkway Properties and soon transferred to the Nashville, Tennessee market. Once in Nashville, Price served on the Executive Committee of the Nashville Downtown Partnership for two years and was influential in the development of the Gulch Business Improvement District (GBID). He was also a member of the Education Committee for the Nashville Chamber of Commerce for two years. 

In late 2007, he left Parkway Properties for DZL Management, a Nashville real estate investment, management, and development company dedicated to adaptive reuse neighborhood development. 

In 2011 he returned to his hometown to begin working for the family businesses, Mill Ridge Farm and Nicoma Bloodstock as a bloodstock agent. In 2020, he was named General Manager of Mill Ridge.

Once reinvested in Mill Ridge and Lexington’s civic scene, Price applied his education and experience to improving Lexington and growing Mill Ridge. He serves on several nonprofit boards in Lexington for causes he cares about.
