The massive Whites Creek property once home to The Inn at The Fontanel and the Carl Black Chevy Woods Amphitheater is up for auction.

Now let’s get to the bidding. The listing on Whites Creek Pike is up for auction Fri.,Oct. 14-Sat., Oct. 22 and will be divided into six parcels. The Fontanel Mansion is considered its own parcel, and the other five range between 5-47 acres.
