Singer Sheryl Crow has become the latest celebrity to get caught in the real estate crash. She can’t sell her sprawling Nashville mansion, so she has gone to the extreme — putting it up for auction at a bargain basement price.
Like so many stars who made it big, Crow splurged on huge house with top of the line features. But since the real estate market crash, they have become white elephants.
Now Crow’s house is bargain priced. The bidding has topped out at $1.1 million with the online auction set to end tomorrow night (Nov. 24).
Crow, 48, likely paid $4 million to $6 million for the house in 2006 after renting it for a few years. Initially. she put it on the market in May for $7.5 million. But no takers stepped up.
The sprawling three-story five bedroom house is nestled on 150 acres and is over 10,000-square-feet in size. That’s about three times the normal suburban house.
It has a fourteen stall barn and indoor riding arena and you’ll never have to want for a bathroom. It has seven full baths and one half-bath, in addition to a nanny’s quarters and six-car garage.
But wait there’s more.
The property comes with a 3 bedroom guest cottage.
Crow, the mother of two has lived in the French-style estate, known as “Cross Creek Farm” for six years with sons Wyatt, 3, and Levi, seven months.
For recreation the house has a theatre room, salt water swimming pool and stellar views of the rolling fields surrounding the property.
Crow has won nine Grammys. She recorded her sixth album Detours and part of her seventh, 100 Miles from Memphis at the farm.
I guess she doesn’t have diddly squat, but I guess she can still soak up the sun.
1.1M around here would buy you a renovated cape cod...
barely.
Did it have a bicycle path?... Didn’t she hang with Lance Armstrong for a couple of years?
ch ch ch change....
gotta like it cost? 4-6 mill, lets pick 4 million, pretend she sold it at 1.1, net loss 2.9, lets call it 3.
So she made small change of 4 million from backing the Obama change machine.
So she's lived with a seven-month-old for six years?
Either she has a time machine, or somebody needs writing or proofreading lessons.
Cheers!

Trust me: The people who give a flock about Sheryl Crow won't catch it. They only recognize the words "change", "extreme", "cheating", and "pregnant".
I’m shocked she has two kids that young. Being she reserves her tp, I’m assuming someone had no sense of smell when the dirty deed was done.
My own opinion.
Another thing, that electric bill must be in the hundreds or thousands each month. It’s the south. It’s hot as hell in the summer. Tint the windows or put up some shades.
Bush’s Fault
Sheryl Crow is a big Obama fan!!! Hey, Sheryl, baby, how’s that Obama “Hope & Change” working out for you???
I was waiting for this lib to crash and burn because of her hateful remarks about Sarah Palin.
People don’t believe that you will reap what you sow. But, the Bible says it, and its true.
Are there single-sheet TP dispensers in the baths?
Actually, I can’t stand most celebrity houses but kind of like this setting. But am a million dollars short on the minimum bid.
I don't know. Unemployment benefits can pay for a lot of things on itunes and Netflix. And nothing like a good movie to to help your forget your job troubles for a while.
I see no solar panels in those front and rear house pics or any other pics.
Not aiming at you, but info seems contradictory.
It has seven full baths and one half-bath,
ROTFL! ;-D
Clooney can be a decent actor though, and not just make throw away pop music. Politicks aside, I think George Clooney is a talented actor.
:: snort :: got me - LOL
Funny how those Learjetlibs always have answers how to live our lives but theirs are a disaster.
Pray for America
Where do you live? Fairfax? Old Town Alexandria? I’m in Montgomery, and since 2008 you can do a lot better in the dc suburbs than a renovated cape for $1.1M.
