See jaw-dropping estate near Nashville set to break Tennessee sales record at $65M
A 383-acre estate tucked away in the rolling hills outside of Nashville, Tennessee, is for sale for $65 million, breaking the record for the state’s most expensive listing ever.
Twin Rivers Farm, designed by architect Steve Giannetti, includes a five-bedroom, seven-bathroom main residence that spans 10,626 square feet. There is also a two-bedroom, two-bathroom guest cottage.
If sold for anywhere near the asking price, it will be the highest sale ever seen in Tennessee, shattering the previous $28 million record.
“This house was built with such care,” Giannetti said in a video featuring the property. “There are things in here that are really unique, that I’ve never done before ... to create really special experiences in the home.”
The expansive compound — entered only by a covered bridge — encompasses two private lakes, walking and horse trails, stables, an incredible swimming facility equipped with a retractable roof, a luxury spa-like gym, tennis court, 188-tree orchard, greenhouse, an observation tower and an entertainment pavilion.
“The home strikes the perfect balance of luxury, form and function, enhanced by the seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces,” the property listing states.
Located at 5845 Old State Highway 96 in Franklin, Tenn., the grounds also have two barns, a shooting range and outdoor kitchen.
“You have this sense of, I could go on a walk, on my own property, for an hour,” Giannetti said.
The owner is Larry Keele, co-founder of Oaktree Capital Group, according to public property records.
He and his wife, Leiyan Keele, built the compound over a number of years, according to the Wall Street Journal. Keele was living in California when the property was under construction, according to a property representative.
The Keeles told the newspaper they decided to sell because they’ve retired and are going to downsize.
“Twin Rivers Farm is a property that beholds the best natural features of Tennessee countryside,” according to the property listing.
Dan McEwen of the McEwen Group holds the listing.
