Lainey Wilson recently said “yes” to marrying her boyfriend of four years, Devlin “Duck” Hodges. The couple announced their engagement on Wednesday night, February 12, by sharing a few sweet videos and photos on social media.
In the photos, we see that the magical moment took place in front of a beautiful brick mansion. However, this location isn’t as random as it might seem at first glance. In fact, the mansion holds a lot of country music history, as it was once the home of country icon George Jones.
The History Behind The Tennessee Home Built By George Jones
The stunning mansion, located in Franklin, Tennessee, was originally built in 1993 by the late George Jones. Spanning 9,097 square feet and sitting on just under 25 acres, the home includes many lavish amenities.
The house features four bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms. Outside, there’s a guest house, a beautiful patio, a swimming pool, and a pool house.
Additionally, the grand property also includes an RV/tour bus garage, horse stables and arena, a large pond with a fountain, and a custom gate surrounding the estate.
Two years after his passing, George’s widow, Nancy, sold the property for $1.98 million in 2015. But, just a few months ago, the house was put back on the market again.
The home is currently listed for a whopping $5,950,000. According to the real estate company’s website, the property is still available for sale.
Lainey Wilson’s engagement at George Jones’ former home has sparked speculation among fans, wondering if there could be more to it than her love for the country legend. Some are even guessing that Lainey and Devlin might be the next owners of the iconic property.
While nothing has been confirmed or hinted at, it’s interesting to consider that the home was customized for a country music star and their family, and with Lainey’s fame in the genre, she definitely fits that profile.
