Alan Jackson's Home For Sale -Got $36 Million?
Alan Jackson told The Nashville Scene he was planning to put his suburban mansion, Sweetbriar, up for sale. Not too many people can afford the hefty $38-million price tag, but you can take a look at it here.
Occupying 19,000 square feet, the home has six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and two half-baths, plus a 20-car garage. Add to that a gymnasium, three ponds, and a boathouse on their 135-acre spread, and you get an idea of what selling 50 million albums can do for your lifestyle.

While the Jacksons can afford about whatever they want, it seems, but their lifestyle is no longer suited much for a place he compares to Disney World. "We realized, as our girls got older, that they don't really use the property much," he told The Scene. "Once they get to be teenagers, they're mostly hanging out with their friends and on the iPod and cell phones in their rooms. If I'd had three boys instead of girls, they might be out here fishing and riding four-wheelers or something."

What others are saying
- Too Much HouseAlan What did You want with all this house? What Happened to Little Bitty?? I personally like "Cozy" That house that looks like a cabin would be more like it....Here is some advice Big Is NOT Always Better.......
- noneHuge beautiful house looking for a house would love this one... yea i dont have enough money!!! its beautiful!!!
- reponse to whatEveryone has a dream, everyone has a passion, how you connect the two is up to you. if he went from nothing to somthin, theres a reason behind it. his music had enough meaning to people for them to buy it. if you think its easy to be him, why dont you do it and instead of buying a beautiful home,you can donate all you money, and how do you know thT HE SPENT ALL HIS MONEY ON THE HOME?? for all you know that may have been a portion of it and he could have been modest with his spending, what if he gave a lot of money to charity???? All im saying is dont talk before you know, because ignorance is bliss, and your jealousey is foolishness.
- houseoooooooooooooooh my gosh!!!!!!!! that would be sweet. i would never leave there.
- a house?!?!?!?omg, omg, OMG!!!! this is paradise, not
1 single bit of a house. alan, can i
buy ur hotel-ish house? - HOUSE?It's not a house, it's a hotel!I think he finally came down to earth, and wants to live in a home.Jackson is an average country singer, that just happened to hit the scene at the right time, and made gazillions of dollars doing his thing. (Good for him)I bet he spent most of his time in the log cabin.I hope he can find some fool with more money than sense, to take this monster off his hands.
- Franklin, TNThis house is magnificent. I have been there and it is even better in person. Alan is one heck of a humble, wonderful man who struggled to make a living and then made his dream come true. Thank you Alan for all the wonderful country music. You are truly an icon!
- A.J. HouseWould love to place bid!!!
- wow i really dont know what to saywish we lived it would on:) party time, wish we were your daughters haha. love your house
- alanWOW his house is soo big
- what??First of all I would like to suggest that this person learn proper grammar and how to spell. Secondly, if you've earned money, (especially when you have worked your can off for it) you can spend it any way you like. If you think differently, saddle up and ride.
- Response to Class EnvyCouldn't have put it better myself. Why does everyone feel like just because I work my butt off to get where I am, that I should have to turn around and give it to those who are too lazy to get it themselves? Obvioulsy, I don't have anything like Alan Jackson, but still, why should I give my hard earned money to people who did nothing to get it?
- NiceFabulous. Awesome car collection too BTW.
The property taxes must be insane (but I guess it's all relative right) - Alan Jackson's HouseHouse is beautiful, but it's so big, how could you bond and feel close to your family in a house so large? More power to him for his wealth, however, hopefully his next house will be smaller where he can enjoy the closeness with his family.
- HIIf I had the money I will buy it but I dont its a nice house Love inside too, wish I had the money
- do they need a maid??I bet "What??" wouldn't be complaining if this was their house?? Thanks for posting the comments right back at that person...maybe they will think twice before they say something like that. I think Alan Jackson is a class act, you never see him in scandals, his wife and girls are his life...why cant there be more celebrities like him that are good role models in addition to being extremely talented. Go Alan! Sorry, I cant help you take the house off of your hands...but maybe in a few years! Long live country music and great artists like yourself!
- Guest house just the right sizeI would like to buy just the guest cottage.
- beautiful homeI have read your wife's books ....what an inspiration. you have a beautiful home and life....God Bless you!
- HOMEWow what a home or I mean hotel lol
I'd buy it if i had the money very nice place ... - stagingLooks like some of these photos have some photoshop work done on them.
- Comment on "What??" postYou're opening says it all, Liberal Linda; you don't get it...at all. Here's a hit though; you get back what you give. Mr. Jackson has brought a lot of happiness and enjoyment to untold numbers of people by doing what he does. He is rightly compensated well for it. It's sad that you don't understand that but you aren't alone unfortunately.
Outstanding Alan! Beautiful place and well deserved. I wish you all the best and continued success. - Comment to the "What???"Would you sell your house and give it to starving kids? Just because somebody has earned something doesn't mean they have to feel guilty about it and spread their wealth. Giving is from the heart and until you give of your income, no matter what it is, you shouldn't expect others too. A quote for all the liberals out there "The goverment has nothing to give except for what it takes from someone else."
- Beautiful!God has blessed you both, you are not happy because of where you live, you are blessed because God lives where your heart is!
- beatiful home!!!!very beatiful home and acreages. Very well maintain. I hope you have enjoyed raising your family there.
- Class EnvyTo the 3rd comment of "what??"....why don't you use whatever talent God gave you and go make your own millions. This is pure class envy on your part and this is the reason our country is becoming a Socialist country. Alan Jackson is a man that used to travel around with a Kroger bag of tapes that he made for himself, of his own songs that he wrote, trying to get someone to listen to give him a chance. You don't know how this man got started or how is life was before he made his millions. He deserves every penny he has earned and should be able to do whatever he wants with it. If the starving women and kids want food, they should visit their local shelters for help. Help is already available for starving people, don't let our government fool you!!!!
- Alan Jackson HomeGod Bless you and Denise and your beautiful home. You have earned it!!!!!!!!!!! You are my favorite Country Singer. Keep belting them out!
- HouseYour home is beautiful. God Bless you.
I'd settle to live in the stable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - what??I Just dont get it!! Just because someone SINGS a few songs...they should make sooooo much money and but houses like that...does not seem fair.....the rest of us work all of our lives to make what they make on one album....and then be in awe of their mansions?? Hey Alan why dont you sell it and donate to the starving kids?? maybe we should readjust the value of money....Just looking at these pictures depresses me....
- houseLove it and I wish I just had one part of it
- You can dream I guess
- I'm In!I got 5 on it!!
- that homethat is one BIG home i would love to live in there
- Alan and Denises HomeAbsolutely spectacular why are you selling it? Are those stables for real and how many people does it take to keep it maintained? A fan and an admirer of your music and your devotion to your family and if I am not wrong, your Lord!
- Alan Jackson HomeThis happens when your kids grow up.
- houseLUV IT!!!! but how much time does he get to spend there...Hope his family enjoys it...but would be better with him there....
- very awesome house and u earned it for familyBeen following alan when he started and nobody knew him.Finally paid his due's.
The house is beautiful for Denise and the girls he could live anywhere n be happy.The memorys made at this house will go with them forever.Hopefully he can find a place he can enjoy as well his girls are growing up and they are gonna be busy.I had 3boys so understand about the fishing n stuff they went with their dad and grandma when they were younger.Good luck to alan n denise
and the girls sorry dont'remember names.Keep it going alan your still growing in music just like george strait and never get tired of hearing you sing .Your devoted fan Sandy baker of texas
The house is wowwwwwwwwwww even winning the lottery wouldnt let me be able to pay for it but it comes with so much land .Whoever buys it hope that they enjoy it as much as you n your family have. - WOWWow is all I can say, this house is awsome, I would just like to visit for one day or maybe become his maid because lord only knows I cannot afford it.
- WOW!The only thing I can say about this house is WOW! This is the most beautiful house I have ever seen in my life.
- ATTIf I win the lotto i will buy your place, I live in canada
- WOOOOOO!This place is gynormous. I think that everyone that saw this place and had enough money would d3efinitly buy it. The thing is its so much money that its going to be very hard to sell expecually in this economy. This home is very beautiful and has cool arcitect.
