About this property

Extraordinary Manor: New Timber Frame Luxury Home

Welcome to The Manor, and the private world of Dark Horse Estate. This unparalleled property offers a one-of-a-kind experience. A perfect setting for friends, families, and corporate groups to unplug and reconnect.

This sprawling 14,000 sq. ft. mansion can accommodate 18 overnight guests. As you enter the foyer, you’ll be greeted by a 34-foot fireplace along with a beautiful concert grand piano. The Manor boasts seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, three kitchens and
multiple living areas. This iconic masterpiece was hand crafted with dramatic features and sophisticated finishes throughout. Additionally, the home features a glass billiard room, two-story library, wellness gym, media room, and party barn. No expense has been spared to insure this breathtaking get-away will exceed your expectations.

Your property:
Dark horse estate is gracefully set in the rolling hills of Tennessee, just 5 miles north from Franklin’s historic town square and 25 minutes from downtown Nashville. Beautiful sunsets and lush mystic landscapes make this private sanctuary an exclusive destination. As you stroll down to the river, you’ll find yourself breathing more deeply as though you’ve been transported to a simpler time.

On the other side of the property, you’ll find a large timber frame structure housing three recording studios which have become home to many of the most celebrated artists in the world. Shawn Mendes, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Alice in Chains, Tim McGraw, Korn, Matchbox 20, Carrie Underwood, and Neil Diamond are just a few of the artists who call Dark Horse home. So... during your stay you’ll find yourself among very good company!

Whether you’re in town on business, a vacationer seeking an unforgettable experience,
or a platinum selling artist working on your next hit, The Manor is the perfect destination for your secluded getaway.
