To solve the mystery of about 30 years ago, the guy you passed riding his lawnmower into town was George Jones on his way to the liquor store. George is known for many things, the first being the No.1 male country singer of all time, but his reputation doesn’t quite end there. For most of his life he was an alcoholic and cocaine addict. In George’s case, there was no fight. His fourth wife, Nancy, now also his manager, finally stomped her foot down, moved the earth, and George has been addiction-free ever since. The result of his wild ways caused him to miss so many performances that he was given the nickname "No-Show Jones." Today at age 80, he and Nancy have decided to relinquish their stunning 78-acre horse farm just a few miles south of Nashville and move closer to town. Though George has a special affinity for riding mowers and has enjoyed maintaining this pristine property himself over the years, they feel that it’s finally time to move to a home with a lot less grass.

This bucolic equestrian estate consists of the main dwelling designed by George and Nancy with the express intention of having abundant space and layout for large scale entertaining and a gracious plantation-style home to welcome family and guests. With six children between them and heaven knows how many grandchildren, this home and the two smaller but fully equipped guest houses were perfect for gathering the clan. The main house has a huge outdoor kitchen that is glassed in and is located at the pool deck. It also has space to feed a crowd. The interior of the 9,704sf home has 4 bedrooms, 7 baths, huge kitchen and master suite, formal rooms and den, Florida room, 3 fireplaces and 2 garages with the capacity for 9 cars. The two refurbished guest homes are perfect for guests or staff. The 9-stall horse barn has a horse shower and is well equipped for equine management. Rolling pastures, creek, ponds and exquisite landscaping complete this picturesque Tennessee estate.

George Jones’ 78 acre Tennessee estate selling in five parcels. Main house, two lakes and two guest residences. Was listed for $15.5 million - will be auctioned July 7th.
