Kelly Clarkson made a meteoric rise to stardom after winning the first season of “American Idol” in 2002.
Clarkson is now one of America’s favorite entertainers, a judge on “The Voice” and host of her new NBC talk show, “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” Ten years after her “American Idol” win, she bought a Tennessee lake home in Hendersonville, 25 miles up the Cumberland River from Nashville. The mansion is now for sale, priced at $7.49 million.
This home is designed to take full advantage of its recreational waterfront setting with a boating distance of almost 100 river miles, water skiing, fishing, jet skiing, swimming or exploring the endless Old Hickory Lake shoreline by boat or Tennessee waterside park.
The Clarkson house is positioned on four acres, with an adjoining usable two acres, owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A long, gated driveway leads to the entrance car park with a center fountain. The grounds are dotted with mature trees, emerald lawn, a sand volleyball court, English-style gardens and a conservatory/greenhouse. A large pool/spa terrace includes a pavilion for outdoor dining and a fireplace. Outdoor areas are all accessed via a double-sided, curved staircase descending from the upper terrace.
The 20,121-square-foot house has plenty of space for family, friends and overnight guests. The home’s entrance features a grand foyer with soaring double staircases. The heart of the home is filled with warmth and fun for casual entertaining, particularly the cowboy bar with its saddle bar stools. There are seven bedrooms, one of which is a large master suite with a seating area in front of a fireplace and stunning master bath, 11 baths, a family room, movie theater and a children’s room with four built-in bunk beds and large play area. There is also a billiard/game room, additional seating rooms, large gym, a two-level office and an elevator.
