Alan Jackson's "shack" is for sale

My wife wanted to move in asap, but we didn't get approved for the loan. It's alright though. I'm was holding out for one with a couple bowling lanes, and an indoor shooting range.

Imagine the cost for the staff and supplies just to maintain that place. Looks like a palace and would cost as much to keep up. But definitely beautiful.

 

[Bedlam]

Is he a tractor guy? or TBN memeber?

 

[schmism]

so thats like 4 trailers put together?

so im not crazy about the house.... well the big white one.... id take that little shack of a cabin out back though

oh and tell me who i got to kill to get that garage!

 

[rgood]

He's selling it due to the depression - Which means the 50 or more people that maintain it will be out of work soon.

 

[khamill2000]

EXACTLY As was said....the cabin has a "homey" feel. I thought the ping pong table looked cheezy and out of place in the "palace"....lol.

That ping pong dable was the deal killer for me too

Good heavens. What an gauche place. I could handle the cabin and the grounds, but the house is embarassing. Who needs a place like that.

One day I want to meet the owner of one of those huge homes and ask if they paid cash. If they didn't and dont have the next 10 yrs overhead put away than I believe they are foolish. As foolish as the ? 20 million upside down-mortgage American home owners out there. I really dont know who Mr Jackson is other than a recognizabe name in music. There is a real big chance that if he wasnt prudent like I said above with the purchase, that one day he may not be able to afford to live there. 15-20 yrs ago most Rolls Royce/Bentley motorcars were bought with cash, no finance, no lease. These past 2 decades they are mostly bought on "credit". If I ever made more than a few million bucks, I'd probably never work again and be a full time tinkerer instead of a working guy who works to support his tinkering. Just because you have "a few good years " in business , why do have to live in a 20,000 sq ft home- do these people think they are royalty - living in castles? I want to ask one of them face to face. Preferably a 35 yr old punk who made $$ on Wall street gambling our hard earned money, bought the castle and now is broke because he bought it on credit. Wouldn't they be happy had they bought one of "our " homes for cash and still have a million in the bank to pay the bills and buy food. ........sorry for the rant , had to get it off my chest

 

[jimmyj]

Hey dirt, good rant!

We bought our first home in 1989 and I'd saved my short life to put a decent down payment on it. The place was tiny, under 700 sq ft and cost 129,000. Sold it 13 years later for 99,000. Sometimes you just can't buy luck!

Looks like I agree with allot of you in not caring for the big house. My thought was that it's a poor guy who got allot of money and is now trying to show off. The big house was tacky and cold. Nothing about it felt homey or warm. I woldn't want it either.

I did like the cabin. That was really nice.

Something about the grouds didn't seem right to me either. Not quite golf course, which might have been better, but not country either. It might be that it's too much like the house. Overdone and not inviting.

I have clients like that who are only intersted in impressing everyone, and the worse they are about it, the more they talk about not being that way.

Did it say anywhere how many acres there are?

Was there an asking price for it?
