Justin Timberlake has parted ways with a significant piece of Tennessee real estate, selling nearly 127 acres of land in Franklin for $8 million. The property is located just under half a mile from the rural village of Leipers Fork, about 45 minutes from Nashville, according to the listing. The lush landscape offers beautiful views of Leipers Creek Valley, 50 acres of wildlife food plots, pastures, and additional amenities such as a fishing pond, spring creeks, and walking trails.
Details of the Land Sale
Timberlake officially sold the property on May 30, as confirmed by property records. The land was originally purchased in 2015 from local philanthropist and preservationist Aubrey Preston. According to reports, Timberlake and Preston shared a deep appreciation for the land and their home state of Tennessee. In an earlier statement, Preston had expressed a shared goal of preserving Tennessee’s natural beauty for future generations, which led to a strong bond between the two men.
The Emotional Connection to the Land
In 2016, Preston spoke about his connection with Timberlake, noting how they both felt a strong attachment to the land they grew up on. “Both of us share that love of Tennessee and enjoyed how we grew up, on land,” he said. This shared admiration for their roots led to a mutual understanding and appreciation for the property.
The Timing of the Sale and Arrest
The sale of the property occurred just weeks before Timberlake made headlines for his arrest in Sag Harbor, New York, on June 18. The singer was pulled over by police while driving to a friend’s house and was charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI). He also received citations for running a stop sign and failure to maintain his lane. Despite the public attention surrounding the incident, Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel, have reportedly moved on and are focusing on their family and work.
Timberlake’s Response to the Arrest
Sources close to Timberlake and Biel have shared that the couple is not overly concerned about the arrest. They reportedly have full confidence in their legal team and have chosen to focus on their professional commitments and raising their two children, Silas and Phineas. Despite the media frenzy, the family is prioritizing their well-being and future.
