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

Today, the mixed-use property spans 221 acres and is anchored by a 30,000-sq ft custom log mansion formerly owned by Country Music Hall of Fame member Barbara Mandrell. The house has six bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, five fireplaces, two kitchens, and an indoor pool.

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. Bonus: Parcel 4 includes the building that once housed the Fontanella Restaurant and Bar + Fontanel Winery.

We want you to be the broker — what would you bring to the Fontanel site? Perhaps you’d like to see a new outdoor entertainment venue or maybe it’s the prime location for an amusement park. If you need some inspiration, browse the photo gallery before you share your ideas here.
