The 89-year-old country star, who recently made a guest appearance alongside Dolly Parton during her recent Christmas special, drew inspiration for his hit song, Shotgun Willie, from a fire that occurred at the cabin.
The three-bedroom house that is surrounded by a scenic landscape was hand-built by the Country Music Hall of Fame singer himself and is situated just 30 minutes outside of the bustling city of Nashville.
Sold! Willie Nelson’s, 89, Tennessee country home has officially been taken off the market after being sold for $2.14 million; the singer was seen in September 2022 in North Carolina
The inviting home was initially listed in October 2022 for $2.5 million and officially sold for around $2.1 million.
Since building the rustic getaway with his own hands, ‘the only individuals that have ever lived in the cabin include the country legend himself, and the current tenants,’ according to People.
Nelson’s former home sits on a whopping 150 acres of land and is surrounded by lush greenery, trees, a barn, and a few ponds.
The exterior of the cabin is comprised of both crafted, log pieces and stone details on the steps, the base of the porch, and also the chimney.
The stairs lead up to a large, wooden porch that can easily fit chairs to give residents the perfect opportunity to relax and look out at the surrounding, naturistic views. For a unique touch, a red roof could be seen on top of the home.
Upon entering, a comforting and cheerful living room directly connected to a kitchen could be seen, with the walls made of log details. Exposed wooden beams and a vaulted ceiling offer a warm feeling for residents.
