This Franklin estate has hosted Grammy winners — and it’s for sale

“For decades, this space has fostered creativity and focus, allowing artists to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life,” the listing reads.

Taylor Swift crafted part of her debut album here. Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Neil Diamond, and more stepped onto the property to record. Now, the one-of-a-kind estate with a mansion and recording studio has officially hit the market.

Situated on 10 acres just five miles from downtown Franklin, owner Robin Crow spent three decades expanding the property in a style inspired by mountain lodges he admired — think: soaring beams, vaulted ceilings, stone archways, and cozy alcoves for reading, writing, and daydreaming.

The 14,000-sqft main residence boasts seven bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, multiple kitchens, a library, and a 34-ft fireplace. Across the property, a timber-frame building houses the recording studios.

If ownership’s off the table, you can still book a stay — both The Manor and The Gatehouse are listed on Airbnb.
