Alan Jackson

This year we toured dozens of celebrity homes — some for sale, some recently purchased, and some just for our gawking pleasure. Many, as expected, were located in and around Los Angeles. But the one that seemed to blow you all away is a little further from Hollywood Boulevard. Country Billboard chart-topper Alan Jackson's 19,000-square-foot, six-bedroom, seven-and-two-half bath "Sweetbriar Estate" in Franklin, TN, which sits on a 135-acre property, was certainly the most expansive, indulgent, and captivating home I've seen to date. From his 20-car garage to his two-bedroom log cabin overlooking a river, the digs made for plenty of real-estate eye candy.

Country Billboard chart-topper Alan Jackson has put his 19,000-square-foot, six-bedroom, seven-and-two-half bath "Sweetbriar Estate" in Franklin, TN, on the market for $38 million. The 135-acre property is the most expansive, indulgent celebrity home I have seen to date. It is bordered by the Harpeth River, one of the largest streams in the area and surrounded by equestrian estates. The property also boasts a "stocked and aerated" 10-acre lake, boat house, and three ponds. As for the buildings, Jackson is the proud owner of a 20-car (!) garage, gymnasium, swimming pool, jacuzzi, two-bedroom log cabin overlooking the river, barn with a two-bedroom apartment above, a pole barn, and more. As for the indoor amenities, it's got the works: granite countertops, central a/c, stainless steel appliances, walk-in closets, etc., etc.
