Alan Jackson Considers Selling Sweetbriar Estate

Posted: June 15th, 2009 at 11:24 am  |  By: Alison Bonaguro  

Alan JacksonChances are, if a house has a name, I can't afford it. But that doesn't mean I won't pay super-close attention to the sale. Such is the case with Alan Jackson's Franklin, Tenn., estate, Sweetbriar, which he is planning to sell sometime down the road. According to Nashville Scene's big ol' story on the big ol' country superstar, the Jackson family wants to downsize. Out with the "air-conditioned gym, the horse stalls, the 30-car garage, the log cabin, the 10-acre lake and the airplane landing strip." Jackson tells the weekly newspaper that his girls don't really use the property much anymore. The rest of the story is good, too, but I just can't seem to get past the 30-car garage thing.

    What’s Alan going to do with all of his collectable classic cars he owns. He better not get rid of his T-Bird that Denise tracked down and bought back as a Christmas gift years ago. It’ll probably take 2-5 years to find a buyer or buyers

    I was very fortunate to see your home last year from {a distant very far away }while on a bus tour when we were in Nashville last year. I would give anything to see your house. But I know you hear that every day.You and your family are very blessed. BUT if you ever move, please, please, please, let me be the very first in line for the give away stuff. Even the rummage sale if you have one. But I know I could never afford it. God bless you and Denise and the kids .

    About your house, please, pretty please, with a cherry on top , let me know if your going to have a give away stuff sale {HA}. I know I could never afford your good stuff. I read in the paper this morning that you were going to be at Lake Martin soon. I don’t have a boat, but even if I did ,I don’t think I could tackle that crowd. I live real close to Lake Martin. Then about five minute I heard you where going to be in Birmington. Have a fantanstic concern. WISH I could be there.
