Country star Kenny Chesney sells his 3,723-square-foot house in Malibu, CA for $8.5M — above his asking price of $7.95M!
Country music artist Kenny Chesney has unloaded his 3,723-square-foot house and compound in Malibu, Calif. for $8,500,000 after it had been listed last year for $7,950,000.
In a Big Time Listings exclusive, we can report on Chesney’s sale of his property at 22355 Carbon Mesa Road in Malibu, which closed on Nov. 17 but wasn’t recorded with Los Angeles County until April 3. He clearly got a great price for the house, which is just two doors south of David Duchovny and Tea Leoni’s onetime home.
Back in April 2008, we exclusively had written about Chesney listing the estate for $7,950,000, just two days after we wrote about him having purchased it for $7,400,000 in February 2008.
Features on the 0.53-acre Malibu property includes a “voluminous” main house (public records show the house measures 3,723 square feet) that was built in 1992, two detached guest houses, a large flat grassy yard, beautiful fruit trees and gardens, a tiled pool, a farmhouse kitchen, an outdoor Italian oven and barbecue, a large temperature-controlled wine cellar and panoramic views of Santa Monica Bay, Catalina Island and Malibu Point, according to public records and listing information. Other neighborhood perks include La Costa Beach rights and a tennis membership, according to listing information. It’s unclear how many bedrooms are in the main house; public records report that it has only two. And the current listing reports that the property has five bedrooms; we’re not sure whether that includes all bedrooms in the guest houses or just the ones in the main house.
Chesney has purchased (and in some cases, sold — and in other cases, we’re just not sure) a variety of other properties over the years. These include:
–He continues — we think — to own a 7,242-square-foot house on a 48.77-acre estate on Peytonsville Road in Franklin, Tenn., which he purchased through his Grigsby Farms Trust in September 2003 for $2,500,000, according to public records.
–Chesney also was rumored to have purchased two houses on River Road Pike in Nashville last summer through his trust, paying $4,625,000 for one and then forking over $675,000 for the other, according to public records; the two houses were purchased through separate trusts, both of which have the name of Chesney’s money manager on them.
–Chesney is continuing to try to sell his 6,888-square-foot mansion at 425 Caroline Street in Key West, Fla., which he purchased in January 2009 for $5,700,000 through his Falcon 200 Inc. company (ostensibly named after his plane), according to public records. He then put the house right back on the market for $6,495,000 just days later, without ever moving into it, and issued a weird statement through his record label: “It’s funny how you can be moving out before you even move in. I may have been naive to think I could just go down to the Keys and disappear, because that was the idea. I wanted to find a place where I could just be and thought I’d found it. But with all the buzz since we signed the papers, the last thing I want to do to some place I love as much as Key West is change the dynamics, especially for the locals who have been so good to me, so I’m stopping the insanity before it begins. The ‘for sale’ sign is back up, and I’m just not going to be able to take possession of the house.” As best as we can tell, Chesney’s never-occupied house in Key West remains on the market.

Being successful is one thing but getting rich off donations is another. If the money strictly came from books or from people saying I want to give money to you the person–not the ministry then that would be a better situation. This appears to have money rolling in from all corners

Hi Kimorah
Pls bring back the show, my twins cant waite to watch it, they are boys and six years old the thing is they have a krush on your daghters and they just want to watch it. I was also addicted to the show I just want to watch your fabulous life, that i wish I had, but I know it come with the hard work.

One day is one day.
nice house
I should have been an actor!
I cant believe people are talking to them like they are a real family. ITS TELEVISION! Also, Gary Coleman and Dana Plato are dead and have been for a while. Conrad Bain is in a nursing home in California.
Where do you people live, Mars?!
Cute house,,kinda small though. Wouldn’t think celebs lived there at all
Very nice on the inside though,my parents considered buying it,but choose a nicer bigger house in the beverly hills area.
I have lived and worked in “Over Priced” Beverly Hills for a few years. A wise investment buy property miles away from Los Angeles,Calif ..then build a residence. With foreign investors from the Middle east,China and other non-speaking “English” countries. They fly over buy up real estate,,tear down then flip it for a profit.,,Hollywood isnt what it used to be when I first stepped into this former glitz city. Change is apparent ..but is this really the United States anymore or China? Saudi Arabia?…
I notice that I typed my email incorrectly, preciousdlitecleaning@yahoo.com
is this the “haunted” house she is going on about on celebrity ghost stories??? and re: is this us or china/saudi arabia… who cares. its hollywood. are those tits/hair/teeth you see on anyone walking around real or are they purchased?
PLEASE BRING THE SHOW BACK
PLEASE BRING THE SHOW BACK, I MISS ALL THE DOCTORS
Hey Roseanne,
I to was a funny lady. But my husbands MS kept me from traveling the circuit.
I would love to live there and help with the farm. I love what you are doing. You are so giving. You are my hero. Ps. If he won’t marry you get rid of the extra baggage.
I’m ready, more than ready to help on the Island. Give to those that need.
I have worked in the theatre at a college and love people. I’m now reitired and hate it. I’m so bored. I need to talk with you. My husband has had MS for 30 years. I am at the end of the so called rope.
I love the laughs I get when I do comedy. But I always have to go home to nothing. I feel chained to a pole. I hate it. It’s the hightest of highs to hear the people laugh. Something my husband will never understand. It’s a drug to me.
What do I do?
In the state of Illinois I’m a master gardner. The University of Illinois.
I love the earth. I love the smell of it. You are an angel. Giving everyone
the fruit of the earth. Jesus loves you.
I do use the F word just like you do. I can’t imagine making through some of the daily things given us without it
Beer helps.
ya ya ya

Hi Kris,
My name is Lois Grossman and love your shows, I watch them all the time. Congratulations on Kim’s wedding. After watching the show in Bora Bora and Robert said he did not know what he wanted to do.. Why doesn’t he start he own Clothing Line. He has a creative mind and could come in with a style of him own for Men. T-Shirts, Cargo Pants, Hiking Boots and the list goes on and on. The family loves Golf he could come up with a Golf shirt in his own style. And Suits, Suits by Robert Kardashian, people would live to see a clothing line by him.
Just an idea.

That explains it!!!!!!!!!!! Every year, Stone Barn Castle used to do a really cute Halloween scavenger hunt — we used to go every year when, all of a sudden, it closed down. I didn’t realize it was purchased by him…that really stinks!!!!!!
I live in the area near the house at 7327 Woodrow Wilson Drive. It burned to the ground in September (it was being rented by another actor). If you google “Woodrow Wildon Drive structure fire” you should find the video.
