A hand-crafted log cabin, once owned by country music legend Willie Nelson, goes on sale for $2.5 million with a location that lists it as a perfect area for a rural retreat and conforms an integral part of the history of the country music genre within the United States and worldwide.
The legendary musician built the house from scratch and is located within a gigantic 150 acres of land in the town of Goodlettsville, Tennessee, bordering Georgia. This location allows the property to be surrounded by maximum tranquility, privacy, and deep, direct contact with the untouched natural areas of this so-called Volunteer State.
A cabin loaded of Tennessee history
The property is surrounded by local folklore and once belonged to country music legend Willie Nelson. The property includes large portions of woodlands, trails, and pasture areas. It is important to note that the property has only had a couple of owners, first the famous musician and now its current owner, along with some members of his family.
The gigantic property had belonged to the musician since the 1960s and was seized from the artist in 1990 when a problem arose due to non-payment of taxes. The transaction was carried out through the intervention of the IRS and was the precise moment for the current owners to be able to keep this house and the land that goes with it.
The history and the value of this house lie in the fact that Willie Nelson himself was the one who built the rustic log cabin. It is located more than 1 mile (1.61 km) away from the highway. The perfect buyer will be the one who wants to enjoy nature and absolute privacy fully, but staying relatively close to Nashville.
The guitar legend of singer Willie Nelson
And although the cabin offers three bedrooms and a bathroom, In addition to a rustic and rural decoration, it is also loaded with rumors and stories that possibly add a plus to the final price of it. The legend says that the singer, on the eve of Christmas 1969, and after a fire in another cabin on the property, risked heroically saving his famous and beloved “Trigger” guitar from the flames. This Martin N-20 nylon-string classical acoustic guitar is part of American musical history, and it’s priceless, according to Nelson.
