Alan Jackson's House... Living Like Royalty In Franklin, Tennessee!
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, Leiper'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 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.
While Alan Jackson has several different boats (including the Hoochie Coochie), 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:
Here's a video of Alan Jackson's boat -- see what it's like aboard the Lady J!
UPDATE September, 2009: Alan Jackson's house is now for sale. He's decided to downsize a bit. Here are photos and video inside Alan Jackson's home.

I am looking for sheet music to the song "That's the Way" that is found on the cd for Denise's book. My fiancee and I are getting maried in October and would like to use the song in our wedding. The 1st he played it for me I knew then that if he ever asked me to marry him that he was the one for me, simply because of the words of this song that exemplify our faith in God and our love for God and one another. any help in locating this would be greatly apprecated!
I was diagnosed with enviromental lung cancer almost four years ago. I had a recurrance last September and metassasized to the brain. There were 5 tumors and they could only get one out. The doctor told me that if the other 4 tumors did not go away and my life would be short. So we are making plans. My children bought me an ipod for mothers day and my son put his 1800 songs of music on it. He is the biggest country fan around. I happened on Sissys Song. I was driving my 2 seater down some country roads. It totally changes my life. It is the most perfect song as if he wrote it just for me. I then let my sister listen to it. She agreed this is the song I have to have for my memorial. What an awesome song. During my first round I told my sister how I felt like my mom had come and taken me to the healing garden. I now realize it was the angel. My sister told me last week they did revive me 3 times during my 27 days in ICU. I feel the Angel has been watching over me. It has made me stong and has revived my faith in the almighty above. Thank you Alan for writing Sissy's Song. I know she will come for me again when it is time.
dear mr. jackson, my mom just called me here at work at Provena St. Joseph Hospital in Elgin, Ill. She was about in tears, she had just heard your new song ,she called it the angel song. She said it reminded her about my sister Gwendolyn Reh, I had just heard it too and I had to agree with her!! You see Mr. Jackson my sister died May 1, 2009 here at the hospital where I work. She died from stage 4 Ovarian Cancer, we knew that she was ill but had no idea how ill? She made it thru 2 rounds of chemo and then went down hill from there. Your song has given my mother comfort and for the first time since my sister passed away, my mother has been able to cry! I know that may not mean much, but to my family that's a lot! So much has happened to us in these last 3-months, your song came out at just the right time!!! I just wanted to thank you, with respect Deborah A. Weaver, Gwendys big sister
I would like to know if there is an address to write to Denise Jackson. Just read her book and loved it. I can relate to her in so many ways. My husband has even been told several times that he looks like Alan Jackson. I would love to talk to Denise about her book and her faith in God.
Shirley Did you find out if there is an e-mail address to write to Denise about her book. I just finished reading it also. I would also like to talk to her about the book.

I love the song, Sissy's song" It means so much to me as I can relate with it so much. My mom, Eunice Bishop of Winterport, ME passed away on 03/22/09 and I know she went to heaven on the wings of an angel. She always believed in angels. She always said in our many conversations "Don't worry about me"
We are having a graveside service on June 6th and I am going to have my cd player there playing this song. It gets to me every time I hear it. It's such a heartfelt and meaningful song to me. I loved my mom so much and she is in heaven with the angels. Thank you Alan for such a beautiful song. You've have given me such comfort with this song. thanks again, Christy Lockhart of Portland,ME

I want to Congradulate Alan Jackson for every song he sings and every song he writes. I love everything about him. He is a great song writers and singer and most of all a true down to earth man. Tha is what Country Music needs. Alan I want to say to you THANK YOU! You are my hero and I am your #1 Fan.
Thank You for everything that you give to us. You are and will always be #1 to me.
Just like Hank says THANK YOU MY FRIEND!
We are from Franklin and we are close family friends and neighbors of Alan and Denise. Their house is even nicer in person, especially inside. The new helicopter makes a lovely addition to the backyard toys. He even lets us use his private gas pump on occasion. Great guy, and a friend for life!
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.
While I am a fan of Alan Jackson's music and have been for years, it is his wife Denise that has made a positive impression and gave me pause for thought with her book. Does she have an email address for the public to write to her regarding her book and questions? Thank you.
I would love to drive to Franklin to meet Allen& Denise and possiblely get someone to look at some of my songs(400+). I'm 76 and the story to this point woud fill volumes. One very special song, "How do you have a funeral for love",wouls be in the same 'vein' as "he stopped loving her today" by Geo. Jones. Please someone hear me out. Thanks O.M.
I Was in front of Alan's house on 10/08/07 His wife Denise was turning in the drive way and waved at us.. We had the marroon buick with Mississippi tag that had Hancock county on it .We love Alan's music. It was an awesome trip , had a great time in Nashville. We will go back ..

Alan Jackson is the best singer, and a great family man. Glad one of the good ones made it big!!
I don't know if you could help me. My dad is 84 and Alan Jackson biggest fan. I have been writing on his behalf since 9-11 and the only thing that he ever received was to join the fan club. I would just like to send him a letter and hope for a picture. Thank
You
is it possible to write alan jackson , i write lyrics and would love to ask advice from him
Yes, Alan jackson has a beautiful home from the pictures on the website. But you know,I am sure he didn't have it all when he was growing up just like the rest of us normal people. People are who they are some of us work at normal jobs everyday and some of us have a better life. Alan Jackson is one of my favorite artist in country music. His gospel album is great! The only thing I can say is enjoy while you are here on earth because everyone is the same in God's eyes and no one will need fancy homes, cars, and etc. when we get to heaven we will have it all.
I'd like to invite Mr. Jackson to a Wooden Boat Festival in June. How can I get this message to him personally?
I have a question...I write songs and i sing but i have no band or anything , so instead of wasiting everything i wrote i was wondering how i can send it off?....i know that unsolicited means no to material cause it aint asked for....but how do people get their songs out there? any help would be great
