Set privately on gently rolling acres minutes from Leiper's Fork and downtown Franklin, this 13,646 square-foot Mediterranean-inspired estate blends timeless European architecture with exceptional craftsmanship, less than an hour from Nashville. Constructed of brick, stone, and stucco with imported finishes inspired by the great villas of the Mediterranean coast

Hand-laid stonework, soaring vaulted ceilings, and arched colonnades define the dramatic interiors. Five bedrooms, seven full baths, and three powder rooms surround expansive living and entertaining spaces, including a grand great room with one of four fireplaces. The chef's kitchen is finished with honed marble, aged brass, twin crystal chandeliers, and a hand-crafted gold mosaic ceiling.

The primary suite lives as its own retreat, with a coffered ceiling and a wall of windows framing the property. The spa-inspired marble bath features a sculptural soaking tub and an opulent walk-in shower enclosed by a rare imported curved glass wall, book-matched marble, and gold fixtures. Dual dressing rooms are each anchored by marble-topped islands.

The lower level offers a billiards room with full wet bar, a spacious family room with fireplace, a wine cellar, and a private theater. Outdoors, the manor rests among mature hardwoods, walking trails, a stocked pond, and a year-round creek with newly cleared creekside gathering areas. Expansive patios and terraces, gated entry, and five garage bays complete the setting.

Self-sufficiency is built in: two wells, a 10,000-gallon cistern system filled by rain or well, 7,500 gallons of purified water storage, and a new standby generator. One of Middle Tennessee's most distinctive private estates. Website link in Media Section.
