Per the celebrity homes website Virtual Globetrotting, Alan Jackson purchased the newly built home in March of 2009 for $795K. The four time Grammy Award winner and 16-time CMA Awards winner's abode has five bedrooms, eight bathrooms and four half bathrooms. The 22k square-foot mansion's other amenities include a 15 car garage (a downgrade from Jackson's prior 20 car garage), pool, pool house, firepit and outdoor kitchen.
The hilltop estate has a gated entrance, and it sits amid 120 acres of green space.
Such a jaw-dropping place doesn't come cheap: Zillow estimates a monthly house payment of over $100K.

George Strait's the king of country music (outside of commercials for The Voice), but based on these pictures, he's not the only veteran superstar and honky-tonk songwriter living like royalty.
In recent years, the Jackson family's listed other homes for sale, including a Florida estate, their Gone With the Wind inspired home Sweetbriar in the Nashville area and a lakefront home with a two-story boathouse in Clarkesville, Georgia.
