After almost two years on the market, country music legend, Hank Williams Jr has finally sold his Springville, Tennessee home.

The 1,566-square-foot, five-bed, eight-bath farmhouse was originally listed at $3.3 million. Bocephus had it built custom over 20 years ago.

The 33-acre backyard backs right up to the Big Sandy Unit of the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge. It also includes a saltwater pool, media room, a barn, and an impressive 14x14 gun vault.

It was originally put on the market back in 2022, and the price dropped to $2.8 million back in 2023. The listing would be removed but would go back on the market in April of 2024, selling almost immediately.

Trisha Cannon from Cannon Realty Group handled the listing.
