Singer Sheryl Crow, who moved from L.A. to Tennessee in 2008 with her son Wyatt in search of the simple life, has put her 150-acre farm outside Nashville on the market for $7.5 million. The main house has three stories and over 10,000 square feet.
It’s a “Solar Farm” that comes with stables and a barn. Crow says it was “a very peaceful place to call home.” Now the question is why she’s leaving such a peaceful place, and where she’s heading next?
Interesting choice to have an aquarium in the kitchen:
Looks like that might be a photo of her son Wyatt over the stove:
In these photos that I took from the listing video, it looks like the house has been cleaned out and staged (which is smart when it’s a celebrity house that you’re selling, I’d think):
You can see four of the home’s five bedrooms in the video.
The house includes nanny quarters and a separate guest house with 3 bedrooms of its own.
Her new CD called “100 Miles from Memphis“ came out over the summer, and I read somewhere that she worked on it right here in her lower-level studio (love her music):
In the video you can see all the sound equipment she used and rows of guitars.
6/10 UPDATE: Sheryl Crow announced that she adopted a second son, named Levi, who joins older brother Wyatt.
People magazine published an article about her life on the farm in 2008 in which she said she moved to Tennessee to get back to her roots and closer to her family.
11/10 UPDATE: According to The Luxist, Crow is tired of waiting for the house to sell and is putting it up for auction. You can bid on the website Sheryl Crow Auction between now and November 23. You can see more photos and videos of the house there.

simple life??? hahahaha!! who are they trying to kid??
The staircase is divine. If I had the right house (and budget) that is exactly what I would do.
Funny – cowboy – do you think it’s an antique bust? Didn’t she live in Italy years ago – pre baby?

Great house loved the fish tank… did you ever list the winner of the house painting giveaway?

Her idea of the “simple life” is a lot different than mine! Ha!
What is with that painting hanging like that? And is that naked cowboy photoshopped in? I am confused.
Very pretty house, despite the little quirks.

The fish tank at floor level is weird. I picture a large family party with some gathered in the kitchen and one big footed person who had maybe one too many kicking a hole in it. On the other hand it is adorable for a toddler.
So…. I guess that’s what counts as simple in celeb land. I mean, its very tastefully done – no gilt shower faucets or cherub fountains in sight – but still: totally different paradigm.
And I’m with you & Emily – that picture above the bed is just plain weird placement, and DOES NOT work with the coffered ceiling.
this was fun – the first celeb house that I really liked!

Love Sheryl Crow but the house is just OK.

How many square feet do two people need? It is a beautiful home, but the aquarium in the kitchen and the painting above the bed in the master bedroom have got to go. The pool and patio areas are lovely, especially the flagstone. Stunning views of the countryside.
Some odd choices to be sure, but some great details in the house, like the ceiling in the master…Janell

Aw, I’m sad she’s potentially leaving TN. I live south of Nashville, and I love seeing people like Sheryl, Nicole Kidman, Jack White, etc. living in town. Somehow non-country music people living here makes it seem less podunk to me.
Maybe she had the aquarium in the island so Wyatt would have a great view of the fish? Also, I LOVE the staircase!

Wow, that is some farm house! I too found the kitchen and exercise room a little odd! I have just started my own little place in “Blogland” and on Wednesdays my posts will be titled “WOWSER house Wednesday. I thought you might enjoy my very first installment. Have a great day, Nan

It’s funny to see a celebrity’s home not be picture perfect. That picture over the bed was strange and the aquarium. Apparently she decorates herself. Which actually makes me like her all the more:)

Aquarium on the floor in the kitchen: Weird.
Front staircase: AWESOME!
.-= Angela @ PeonyPatch´s last blog ..Summertime =-.
That green & gold gumdrop landscape in the frontyard? I would move too.
Looks like it was inherited from the previous owner.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
Maybe her version of “simple” is not hiring a decorator, LOL.
Just proves the point that having lots of money doesn’t make you have good taste.
Could work for me with a little tweaking!
I always wonder why these celebs buy these fantastic homes, and move so quickly. Does the word “roots” mean anything to them?
.-= Pat´s last blog ..It’s The Nights… =-.
The house is decorated a bit strangely in places, but at least it seems like she did it herself with things she liked instead of using a decorator and having no clue where anything came from. I’ll give her props for that. The “fitness room” is cracking me up though. My parents have a “fitness room” along those same lines, except theirs is in what we commonly refer to as a “basement”.
.-= hip hip gin gin´s last blog ..Butter Fingers (and Toes) =-.
Very interesting. I remember when she was looking at houses around here (my husband is a builder) and we were told she was looking for something under $1 million. When I think of all the possibilities that were open to her………..Love Sheryl but money can’t buy good taste. Bless her heart.
.-= Dana´s last blog ..Now Growing at The Ranch =-.
Love that fish tank! I’m wondering why they have the gym in the garage with that large of a home. Guess they needed all the bedrooms:-)
.-= Amy @ Living Locurto´s last blog ..Lego Cake Pops =-.
Well, there probably isn’t a starbucks close by, so that would be a simpler life LOL
No wonder it didn’t work out between her and Dale Jr. I can’t imagine him hanging out there. I’m not a fan of the house, myself. Tacky tacky.

Well, I like her staircase, but the “fitness room” made me smile. Love your use of quotation marks there!
.-= Amanda @ Serenity Now´s last blog ..The Frizz =-.
I know why she is selling.
She got tired of getting a step stool to use the microwave. Although she will miss the lobster tank for those months that end in “R”.
For Sheryl being a celebrity, I am really surprised at how odd things are decorated in this house. Like what’s with those window mirrors above the bed, the painting above a different bed, the fish tank in the kitchen, exercise machines in the garage, 80′s or 90′s styled bathrooms and more. Those things make me not really like this house. It’s sad because this house could have so much more potential if it was decorated right. The only thing I like about this house is: the outside, family room off of the kitchen, and the staircase. Sheryl should definately stick with singing then decorating.
I’d be willing to bet the fish tank travels to her next house and it was a convenient place for her son to get a good view. I’m also glad to see everything isn’t designer, but more personal to her own tastes and imperfect according to the world of design. It makes her seem more down to earth and normal–despite her career’s successes.
She’s a Missouri gal like me, went to school in the same town but we are very different in our housing styles, looks like she was just renting even though she owned. I don’t see her personality in the home. Thanks for sharing.

Is that what you call SIMPLE living… hmmmm
Simple life? Hahahahahahahah!!
The house looks beautiful but that picture over the bed is freaking me out, it literally looks like it could just fall off the wall. I’d be afraid to sleep under it.
~Michelle
Hmmmm, interesting. Guess she does her own decorating. She is not one of my faves, but fun to look in on her digs!
.-= Renae Moore´s last blog ..Blue Decor – Is it You? =-.
My favorite part is the staircase! Ah-mazing!! My husband would love that fish tank in the kitchen…I don’t wanna show cause I don’t want to give him any ideas! Lol!

.-= Nancy@marcusdesign´s last blog ..{my dining table} =-.
Because I (clearly) don’t have a life, I read the article in People magazine you linked to where she discussed moving to be closer to her family and how her son is going to have such a good life in the country…I really hope she is really just moving to a different house nearer her family…because that would be depressing to just be moving back to Hollywood. Ew.
That said…I’m not a HUGE fan of the decor…it’s a little…sparse/brown/Victorian for me, personally. Maybe she wants to get a fresh start, decorating-wise?
.-= Kate (Little Beach Bum)´s last blog ..A Tale of Two Chairs =-.
Love the kitchen (the rest ain’t bad either! LOL) But — the aquarium…perhaps that was to keep Wyatt busy while she cooked? It is an interesting choice, any way you look at it!
.-= Sally´s last blog ..Frost on the Pumpkin ! =-.
Beautiful house, but too much for me. Size and money:) I just don’t understand these “stars”. They make all this money, spend it very unwisely and now that she is probably like most of us with the economy, she is going to sacrifice her house so she can live smaller. To her smaller is probably a $5 million house.
Oh! That pool. You had me at the pool.
Thank you for your blog.
I love it.

While I like the house…………simple life? Tell me who actually NEEDS 10,000 sq. ft.? No wonder she can’t sell it.
.-= seanymph´s last blog ..Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal cookies with a Cream Cheese Glaze =-.
I’m just not a fan of the aquarium. That’s weird for some reason. I loved the view from the pool though. I’ve always loved her music. So glad she’s getting the family she always wanted. Good for her.
.-= Becky @ Farmgirl Paints´s last blog ..Checks and Balances =-.
Why on Earth anyone needs 10,000 sq feet baffles me! That’s not a ‘farm’, it’s a mansion (and one with serious acreage, thus upkeep!) And — having had a peek at her NY apartment — I’d agree that her TN abode is probably staged. My hunch is that her taste is far more electic.
Congrats to her on her 2nd child, though! From everything I’ve read, she sounds like a great mom ..
Wow, the view of that pool is great
