Villa Collina in Knoxville, Estate of the Day

I never pictured an Italian villa rising up among the lush green grasses of Knoxville, Tennessee but it is hard not to fall in love with Villa Collina the moment you set your eyes upon it. Almost 37,000 square feet boasting eight bedrooms, eleven bathrooms, more than three fireplaces and greater than five garage spaces it is certainly large enough. Not only is it a waterfront property but the Villa itself contains an outdoor pool and hot tub as well as an indoor pool. The expansive terrace is especially inviting. The home also comes with a doorman, library, wine cellar, fitness room, billiards room, guest house and staff quarters, and home theater. Located at 5628 Lyons View Pike this incredible property is listed for $21 million.

"Almost 37,000 square feet boasting eight bedrooms, eleven bathrooms, more than three fireplaces and greater than five garage spaces it is certainly large enough."
Why not just say how many fireplaces and garage spaces there are? I don't understand the need to say "more than three" and "greater than five".

Nice location but beyond that this a hideous, gaudy mess of a house. As Diana Vreeland said "It is not bad taste that is the problem - it is no taste."

For the second time in just a few weeks (remember the Thai property?), we have a small botique hotel impersonating a private residence.
