Willie Nelson’s self-built house in Tennessee, boasting three bedrooms and surrounded by picturesque scenery, has been sold for $2.14 million after being on the market for four months. The sale occurred just three months before the country star turns 90 in April. Nelson recently featured on Dolly Parton’s Christmas special and penned his hit song “Shotgun Willie” after a fire incident at the cabin.
Built by the legendary singer himself, the cozy home, situated 30 minutes from Nashville, hit the market in October 2022 with an initial asking price of $2.5 million. It has now been sold for around $2.1 million.
The charming retreat, set on 150 acres, includes lush greenery, trees, a barn, and ponds. The cabin features a wooden porch with a staircase, offering a perfect spot to enjoy the natural surroundings, and a unique touch with a red roof.
Upon entering, the living room connected to the kitchen exudes comfort, with log details on the walls, exposed wooden beams, and a vaulted ceiling. The cabin, where only Willie Nelson and the current residents have lived, radiates warmth and invitation.
The kitchen, with classic wooden cabinets and storage, boasts a warm ambiance with abundant natural light through many windows. A retro-style gold chandelier hangs over the kitchen table, complemented by wooden-bladed ceiling fans.
Charming details inside include a large Persian red rug in the living space, a ladder leading to a loft used as a third bedroom, and a stone fireplace, creating a distinctive 1970s feel. The cabin encompasses three bedrooms and one bathroom.
The house went on the market in October 2022 for $2.5 million and was sold for approximately $2.1 million, with Willie Nelson being the builder and sole inhabitant, along with the current residents.
The vast property includes a wooden barn, surrounded by trees, grassy fields, and rolling hills in the distance, providing a peaceful escape from the bustling city. In 1970, a fire occurred at the cabin, inspiring Willie Nelson’s famous song “Shotgun Willie” and an album with the same name. Willie went back into the burning cabin to save his guitar named Trigger and a pound of marijuana.
The property spans around 150 acres and is located just a 30-minute drive from Nashville. Willie Nelson, who is approaching his 90th birthday in April, has exciting news as a five-part documentary, “Willie Nelson And Family,” is set to premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival on January 20. The documentary, crafted by filmmakers Thom Zimny and Oren Moverman, explores Willie’s life, both personal and musical, featuring close friends and family. This authorized work marks the first in-depth exploration of Willie Nelson’s remarkable life.
