It may have taken four years, but singer-songwriter and talk show host Kelly Clarkson has sold her gorgeous lake house in Hendersonville, Tennessee for US$6.3 million.
The original listed price was US$8.75 million in 2017, with the most recent reduction earlier this year showing the house on the market for US$7.49 million. Nevertheless, there was still considerable profit to be hand – Clarkson bought the property in 2013 for US$2.8 million.

Not only is the house beautiful, but its setting is to die for. Located on the banks of Old Hickory Lake, 40km (25 miles) up the Cumberland River from Nashville, the water views beyond the 1.6 hectares (four acres) of lawn are exceptional. There is also a long gated driveway to the entrance motor court with centre fountain.
The grounds of the Because of You singer’s home are dotted with mature trees, emerald-green lawns and even a sand volleyball court. It has English-style gardens, a conservatory and a large pool terrace with a pavilion for outdoor dining with a fireplace – all accessed via a double-sided curved staircase descending from the upper terrace. Oh, and there’s a boathouse too.

It boasts 11 bathrooms, a family room, cinema and a children’s room with four built-in bunk beds and a good-sized play area. There’s a billiards/game room, a large gym, a two-level office and lift.
