Living where we do, we have the opportunity to take in a lot of unique sights & sounds... especially those which pertain to singers, songwriters, musicians, and other celebs who reside in and around NashVegas.
For us though, there's a fine line between wanting to see where these mega-stars live (and thereby photographing such locations), and respecting their privacy.
We're not the type to participate in "star stalking", per se. But we have a hard time passing up an opportunity to satisfy our own curiosities.
For that reason, you aren't likely to see most of the stars' homes that we've photographed (and other shots we've captured out & about in Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Lieper's Fork and beyond) here on this website.
AJ's Home: For Public Consumption
The reason I am including info about our brief tour of Alan Jackson's home without any reservation, is because his home has been photographed and written about (with his permission, mind you) several times already in major newspapers, magazines, and other websites.
Add that to that, the fact that the tour buses spend an extraordinary amount of time parked in front of his home on a daily basis... It's no secret where Alan Jackson lives these days.
Alan's wife, Denise, describes the house, which the couple began building in 1993, as "casual elegance." Alan affectionately calls the 26,500-square-foot mansion "Sweetbriar" and says it was inspired by the movie Gone With the Wind." Source
The Royal Treatment
As mentioned previously, Harlo and Georgia had been wanting to see this mansion. And, since it was on the way home, we swung by AJ's humble abode.Which, at night -- all lit up and tucked safely behind a black wrought-iron fence -- looks remarkably similar to the White House! That, or the Opry Hotel -- miniaturized.
But, don't get the wrong idea... There's nothing "miniature" about this place. It's over 40,000 square feet! Jim did the math, and it turns out that Alan Jackson's house ALONE would barely fit on Georgia & Harlo's entire 3-quarter acre LOT!
And the fence surrounding AJ's property starts about 1 mile before you even GET to his house. 
But I must say, at night, it looked even more amazing than the other times we'd seen it in the daytime. This picture (taken without a tripod at night) doesn't do it justice...
More Pictures Of Alan Jackson's House
Bert White maintains the largest online collection of Alan Jackson photos, and he has some nice shots of Alan Jackson's Sweetbriar home in Franklin, Tennessee during the daytime. Here as well.
Here are some pictures inside Alan Jackson's garage -- including AJ's incredible car collection. Check out that desk... and all the wall decor! Here's the story.
Here are some pictures our friends took of Alan Jackson, his wife Denise, and their 3 daughters on their boat "The Lady J" near Ashland City, TN:

hi,i have been an alan jackson fan for years .he is so down home i feel at home listening to his music,and admire him very much. the reason i am writing this is to get an answer to a question i hope. on the video for good time. they talk about the line dance being the longest ever. it may be a dumb question,but is it really done that way or just part of the video. i only ask because me and my daughter want to know. we know if anyone could pull this off it would be a major star like alan. thank you for reading and respond if you can
Dear Alan Jackson,
We come to Nashville tennessee a lot we deliver steel utility light poles to Nag in Nashville.My Friend is a truckdriver his name is melvyn decker.we love your music and your beautiful home we see it from the road.I
I LIVE IN NORTHERN IRELAND, IVE READ DENISES BOOK, I BOUGHT IT WHEN I WAS AT THIS YEARS COUNTRY MUSIC FEST IN NASHVILLE, IM SORRY NOW I DID NOT GET HER TO AUTOGRAPH THE BOOK FOR ME. DENISE MENTIONED C.S LEWIS IN HER BOOK HE WAS BORN NOT FAR FROM WHERE I LIVE I WOULDVE LOVE TO HAVE TOLD HER ABOUT WHERE I COME FROM AND ABOUT CS LEWIS
No doubt about it, Alan Jackson is my favorite country music singer/entertainer and has been since he started in this business. It is remarkable how he can put words so eloquently and with such feeling. My thanks to him for keeping "traditional
country music" alive. I read Denise's book and really enjoyed it. I know it was a hard decision to
disclose their life story to us fans. I'm sure a lot of us can relate to their life experiences and realize how prayer and God can change things around. "I'm proud of my wife,
she has changed my life,
And she even wrote a book,
So we all could take a look,
And know there is help for all,
Who seek God's love and call.
Has the interior of your home been featured in any magazines such as Architectural Digest, etc. Would love to see it.
Would like to know if there is a DVD on Precious Memories.
Ms. Denise,
I'm reading your book. It's great! I've been reading a little every night, to stretch it out. I don't want it to end. I got to the "second" first date today and just busted out in tears.
I understand some of your story. I'm from the south (NC) and my husband is a traveling minister. I am home with my children too. You book has really lifted my heart and also God has began to show me some inner weakness. Thank you.
2008 is going to be my year to put Jesus back in his place in my life. He is number one.
