FRANKLIN, Tenn. -
Country music legend George Jones will sell his Country Gold Estate at a real estate auction next month.
The 78-acre property purchased by Jones and his wife 20 years ago is located in the Nestledown Farms subdivision of Franklin and was originally listed in the spring of 2011 for $15.5 million.
The property will be offered in five parcels with several improvements that include equestrian facilities, outbuildings, two guest residences and a gasoline tank.
Of the five parcels, the first parcel features the main home with four bedrooms and five bathrooms sitting on 24 acres.
The spacious kitchen and elegant dining room give way to an outdoor living area, complete with a heated, salt water pool, outdoor kitchen and a window-enclosed entertainment venue.
The kitchen prep area features a fireplace, wood-beam ceiling and high-end appliances.
Parcel two consists of 35 acres and includes two guest houses.
The third parcel comprises the rear grounds on eight acres, and parcels four and five are each five acres near the entrance of the property, just off Highway 96.
Jones and his wife plan to live in a home on less land in Nashville after the sale.
The auction will take place on Saturday, July 7 at 11 a.m. at the home, located at 4025 Nestledown Drive in Franklin.
