Legendary singer and songwriter John Prine and his wife recently bought a beautiful Nashville mansion for the price of $2.6 million.
The John Prine Nashville era began when the singer and songwriter moved to Nashville to pursue his music career. Most people can only dream of owning a mansion, and it seems to be able to accomplish mansion-ownership you need to be one of the world’s best songwriters. Luckily for John Prine and his wife, he has that covered.
The couple recently relocated to a 7,200 square-foot “NeoClassical Farmhouse” on two acres of land in Nashville. Prine had recently lived near the home of Kellie Pickler and said that it wasn’t private enough because of all of the tourists rolling buy to catch a glimpse of the famous Nashville stars on various “star home” tours.
Now the “Angel From Montgomery” singer has the privacy only 2 acres can give, although he is still willing to give fans a peek inside of his new home. Lucky for us!
One of those difficulties includes a fight with cancer. Prine has survived two kinds of cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma (1998) which required the removal of part of his neck and left mark on his voice, leaving it deeper and more unrefined.
However, Prine is persistent in making music and enjoying his life and the beauty that is in it, such as a brand new mansion :).
“Over nearly 50 years of making albums, John Prine’s been able to turn the sense that he’s slightly underappreciated into a trademark. He’s the secret favorite everybody can agree on, never quite in the middle of the conversation but always poking around in the corners for a modest truth that will linger after the noise dies down” reads a quote on his website.
