Willie Nelson is rolling in a bit more green today, with his Tennessee home selling for $2.14 million! The 89-year-old country music star listed the property four months ago, and is getting a bit below the original $2.5 million he was asking for. Nelson’s home sits on a huge 150 acres of land steeped in greenery, and is about 30 minutes out from Nashville. Nelson says that his former home was the inspiration for his song “Shotgun Willie”. The story goes that Nelson returned home one day to find the house on fire, and he rushed in to grab his guitar “Trigger”, earning him the nickname “Shotgun Willie”. The home itself is a modest three bedroom cabin, hand-built by Nelson himself! Fans of wood and stone will feel right at home, not to mention fans of the country music legend himself.
