Franklin, Tennessee, Estate of the Day
What does $33 million buy you in Franklin Tennessee? Let's find out with today's estate of the day. This over 20,000 square-foot manor house is on nearly 700 acres. The main residence with its porches and Corinthian columns was built in 2002 but aspires to an antebellum style. Because the land is mostly flat, the huge home can be seen from most parts of the property. The entry foyer is dominated by a grand staircase which rises to the 4000 sq. ft. master suite under twin Waterford chandeliers. There are 12' ceilings on the first floor, and 11' on the second floor. How's this for a figure, the window treatments for the 59 windows boast over 2000 yds. of imported fabric. The lower level is includes a billiards room/cafe,a columned surround sound movie theatre and a nine-car showroom garage/workshop. As you might expect, the home has state of the art surveillance and alarm systems. There is also a climate controlled kennel for your canine guard. There is a pool and the property also has a large maintenance shed, caretakers house, covered picnic area and a dock.

I love this, its got a nice classic elegance without being to over the top, there are a few details that are questionable, but overall a great home!
Love the staircase, and the first bedroom shown!

Too gawdy for me, nicer in the outdoor rustic dining pavillion. The aeriel shots look like "Absolut Franklin Tennessee" vodka advertisements.

The downside to this house is that you'd actually have to live in Franklin, TN. What on earth does one do with 700 acres anyway. I'd rather have 10 in the Hamptons for a similar price.
