Multi-million-dollar homes in Nashville are a dime a dozen these days, particularly as Music City continues to roll out its red carpet for everyone from film industry pros to families looking to put down new roots. But it’s rare to find one on the market with such a storied history as the former home of late Grammy Award-winning artist John Prine.
Listed for just shy of five million ($4.95 million to be exact), the Oak Hill residence sits on over two acres, and it’s ready for its next owner and an entirely new batch of stories. Take a look to 1108 Overton Lea Road in Nashville!
Described as having a “colonial farmhouse vibe,” 1108 Overton Lea Road features a double-door entry and second-floor porch. The home is listed for $4.95 million through Zeitlin Sotheby’s International Realty.
“Oak Hill is a prominent area in Nashville,” says Simon Kerr of Zeitlin Sotheby’s International Realty, who listed the property along with fellow agent Deirdre Kerr. “The houses have large estate lots, and it’s very private. It’s where a lot of country music stars live.”
While the home carries the honor of once belonging to beloved country-folk legend John Prine, the property is a gem in and of itself. John and his wife, Fiona, purchased the residence in 2018 for $2.6 million. Several renovations later, the 7,272-square-foot home boasts an updated primary bedroom and bathroom with features that include a clawfoot tub, colossal shower, and ornate Parisian doors from the 1700s. “The main bathroom now boasts a clawfoot tub and an extra-large shower with blue-green tiles, and the main suite has two closets that ‘are bigger than my condo,’” jokes Simon.
A traditional front entryway gives way to a majestic grand staircase.
With plenty of light filtering in, the primary bedroom offers a serene retreat.

Stunning aqua tile in an oversized shower lends itself to peaceful pampering.
“Every time a couple comes in to check out the property, the closets are just a big ‘wow’ factor,” says Simon. We can see why!

The estate offers ample room for a large family or entertaining guests with four bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and three powder rooms. A renovated kitchen, completed in 2019, now possesses an island, two sinks, open shelving, and Miele and Sub-Zero appliances.
Additionally, the adjacent dining room offers a beverage station, perfect for end-of-day cocktails and evening soirées. A library provides a secluded spot to cozy up with books, while an upstairs balcony that runs the length of the residence offers the ideal spot for watching the seasons change.
