Kenny Chesney, a renowned country music star, parted ways with his magnificent estate in Franklin, Tennessee, known as “Bella Luce” (Beautiful Light).
The 56-acre property, which Chesney purchased in 2009 for $9.25 million, was sold in December 2021 for $11.5 million.
Unique Features
This Mediterranean-style villa, now valued at $12.3 million boasts a unique blend of luxury and historical charm.
The home features floors made from 150-year-old reclaimed walnut, Venetian plaster walls, hand-carved beams of cedar and Douglas fir, and limestone fireplaces.
One of the most striking features of the estate is the lookout tower, which offers 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside.
Stunning Exterior
The estate’s exterior is equally impressive, with a circular stone driveway and courtyards, extensive outdoor entertaining and dining areas, an infinity-edge swimming pool and spa, and carefully sculpted landscaping.
This property also features an attached garage for 6 cars and a separate detached garage for 4 more vehicles.
Lavish Interiors
The villa’s interior is lavish, offering 4 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms within 12,599 square feet of living space.
A beamed ceiling adds character to the main living and dining area, while glass doors open to the outdoors.
The open kitchen features a large island, bar seating, double sinks, and double ovens.
A spacious master suite includes a vaulted and beamed ceiling, a sitting area, a dressing room, and a private balcony.
Despite the mentioned sale price, which marked a steep discount from the initial $13,999,999 asking price, the estate still sold for significantly more than what Chesney originally paid.
