Today's estate is a bit of Tuscany in Tennessee. Bella Luce is a gated 30-acre private estate in Franklin,Tennessee. The 11,143 square foot villa is on a higher elevation for beautiful views. The home's great room includes matching bookend fireplaces that rise 25 feet to meet the handcrafted Douglas fir trusses. The five-bedroom home has a kitchen with fireplace, a theater with stadium seating, billiards room and exercise room. One particularly nice feature is the tall lookout tower. The grounds also include a six-car garage and an infinity-edged pool. The new home is enhanced with older details including 150-year-old bricks and reclaimed walnut floors. Graceful arches and a secluded courtyard with a fountain enhance the tranquil style. More interior pics are available in a recent article in the Tennessean showing the wrapping room, outdoor kitchen and more. It is listed at $12.9 million.
