Chesney Purchases Key West Mansion
posted by Josh
Kenny Chesney has apparently purchased a 5.7 million dollar mansion on Caroline Street in Key West, according to KeysNet.com:
The Keys’ rumor mill has been churning out reports that country music superstar Kenny Chesney bought a house in Key West — and it looks like it’s true.
According to records from the Monroe County Clerk of the Court’s Web site dated Jan. 20, a company called Falcon 200 Inc., presumably acting on Chesney’s behalf, purchased the house for $5.7 million from previous owners Nicholas and Susan Trivisonno.
It just so happens that Chesney owns a 12-passenger Falcon 200 jet made by Dassault Aviation.
Then, on Tuesday morning, a United Parcel Service delivery notice addressed to Kenny Chesney was seen sticking out of the gate at 425 Caroline St. in Old Town, just off Duval Street.
———————
The Caroline Street house is one of Key West’s most notable properties. Called the W. Hunt Harris House, the five-bedroom, 7.5-bath home was constructed in 1898.
The nearly 7,000 square feet of living space includes 13-foot ceilings, a top-of-the-line cook’s kitchen and a 1,500-bottle custom wine room capable of running off generator power.
A guesthouse in the large backyard, built in 2007, includes more living area and a private gym. The spacious grounds boast a 42-by-18-foot heated swimming pool and a wet bar complete with icemaker, granite countertops and teak cabinetry.

Digg!
wow! now how many houses dose he have ?
Don’t know for sure. He at least has a house in Nashville and one in the islands (St John I think)
This should never have been put on this site, nor in the KeyNoter. I am sad Kenny has to leave Key West already…he was so welcome to the city…
[...] –Chesney is continuing to try to sell his 6,888-square-foot mansion at 425 Caroline Street in Key West, Fla., which he purchased in January 2009 for $5,700,000 through his Falcon 200 Inc. company (ostensibly named after his plane), according to public records. He then put the house right back on the market for $6,495,000 just days later, without ever moving into it, and issued a weird statement through his record label: “It’s funny how you can be moving out before you even move in. I may have been naive to think I could just go down to the Keys and disappear, because that was the idea. I wanted to find a place where I could just be and thought I’d found it. But with all the buzz since we signed the papers, the last thing I want to do to some place I love as much as Key West is change the dynamics, especially for the locals who have been so good to me, so I’m stopping the insanity before it begins. The ‘for sale’ sign is back up, and I’m just not going to be able to take possession of the house.” As best as we can tell, Chesney’s never-occupied house in Key West remains on the market.
