A gated driveway, sprawling grounds and a resort-style pool helped make it a private retreat. Now, Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s Tennessee estate is reportedly heading onto the market as the former couple closes another chapter of their life together.

The Franklin property, south of Nashville, is reportedly being offered for just under US$7 million, months after the country star and podcast personality separated.
Realtor.com reports that Jelly Roll had handed ownership of the home to Bunnie following their divorce. Its planned sale puts the spotlight on an estate that combines substantial living space with the privacy of nearly 10 acres. realtor.com
For property watchers, the listing raises a question that follows many celebrity homes onto the market: how much will buyers pay for the house itself—and how much does its famous ownership matter?

Inside Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s Tennessee home
Built in 2022, the residence reportedly covers approximately 7,700 square feet, equivalent to about 715 square metres.
According to Realtor.com, it includes five bedrooms, six full bathrooms and a half bathroom, alongside a five-car garage, basement and swimming pool. High ceilings and extensive grounds add to the sense of scale.
The property sits behind a gated entrance, with a long driveway separating the house from the road. Nearly 10 acres—approximately four hectares—provide a substantial buffer around the home.
That combination gives the estate two distinct selling points: the amenities of a modern luxury residence and the breathing room of a country property.
Privacy is also a recurring feature in Property Noise’s coverage of prominent owners, including Richie and Gemma McCaw’s Christchurch home, where a long driveway and generous grounds formed part of its appeal.
A home reportedly retained in the divorce
Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, filed for divorce in May, according to reporting cited by Realtor.com.
Bunnie subsequently said the singer had given her their Tennessee home, describing the property as particularly meaningful to her. At that stage, she discussed plans to share the estate with close friends and continue caring for their animals.
The reported decision to sell represents a change from those earlier plans.
However, the available reporting does not establish precisely why the property is now being offered. A sale should not automatically be interpreted as evidence of financial pressure, a dispute or a distressed transaction.
What is clear is that the house has become part of the former couple’s transition out of their marriage.
What the US$7 million price means
Realtor.com reports that the estate was purchased through a trust for US$6.2 million in November 2023.
A sale near US$7 million would therefore represent a higher headline price than the reported purchase figure. It would not, by itself, establish a profit.
Selling expenses, ownership costs and any improvements would need to be considered before calculating the financial result. The eventual transaction price could also differ from the asking price.
That distinction matters in celebrity real estate, where a striking listing figure can attract far more attention than the eventual settlement.
Property Noise has explored another high-profile listing in its coverage of Kris Jenner’s iconic Kardashian family mansion returning to the market.
Famous ownership brings attention—but buyers still assess the property
Jelly Roll’s name is likely to draw readers and prospective buyers who would otherwise never encounter a Franklin estate listing.
Whether that attention translates into a premium remains to be seen.
For someone considering the home, the practical questions extend well beyond its former occupants: location, condition, usable land, maintenance requirements and the suitability of its extensive amenities.
A pool, large garage and substantial grounds may be attractive features. They also create responsibilities for the next owner.
That ownership equation features in Property Noise’s look at Batman’s famous Wayne Manor property and the costs beyond its purchase price.
The connection is straightforward: an eye-catching home can generate headlines, while its long-term appeal depends on how well it fits the buyer’s life.
Jelly Roll’s separate Tennessee farm
The Franklin home is not the only substantial Tennessee property linked to the singer.
According to the Realtor.com report, a separate trust purchased a 500-acre farm in Burns for US$4.5 million in August 2024. An adjoining 18.5-acre parcel was reportedly added for US$500,000 in November 2025.
The rural holding offers a different setting from the Franklin residence, with extensive land, trails and creeks.
Those reported purchases help explain the scale of Jelly Roll’s property interests. They do not confirm where he will live following the Franklin sale.
What happens next?
The immediate question is whether a buyer will meet the estate’s reported asking price.
Until a completed sale is reported, the near-US$7 million figure remains an asking price rather than a confirmed market result.
For the next owner, the attraction is a substantial modern home with privacy, land and leisure facilities. For celebrity property followers, it is a highly visible change involving a house once presented as an important part of Bunnie’s future.
Famous names will help bring attention to the listing. The eventual buyer will determine what the estate is worth.
