The house that George Jones built… literally.
Want to live in the house the legendary George Jones designed himself? You could make that dream come true if you 1) are interested living near Nashville and 2) have just shy of $6 million laying around. Jones was known as a country music great, but if he had anything to do with the layout of this estate, he should also go down as quite the homebuilder.
The Franklin, Tennessee home boasts over 9,000 square feet and sits on 25 acres. And it’s as good of a location as you could ask form being only 15 minutes from the historic downtown Franklin district and a half hour from downtown Nashville. With where the home is located, it’s clear that the “Possum” wanted to live a little bit in the country, but close enough to the action.
The listing, courtesy of McEwen Group, went on to boast about the home’s bedrooms and bathrooms in addition to the farm buildings that come with the property:
“The expansive home sits privately on a wooded knoll at the heart of the property, featuring 4 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms with a gorgeous outdoor patio, swimming pool and pool house.
In addition to a guest house, farm has multiple buildings combining for several thousand square feet that could be used for a variety of purposes such as shop work, hobbies, equipment storage, office space, event hosting and livestock accommodation.”
As George Jones once sang, “Mama Take Me Home.” That house is a BEAUT.
If the video above sparked your interest, you’ll also enjoy looking through some of the photos that’s included with the listing. Whether it be the exterior of the home, the music notes on the gate, or the gorgeous grand staircase, every angle of the former home of George Jones is breathtaking.
