A Party-Lover’s Paradise! $6.8 Million Tennessee Chateau Comes Complete With a Bowling Alley, Basketball Court, Game Room, and Its Own Grotto

They say home is where the heart is—but in the case of one newly listed Tennessee mansion, the heart is just one of an array of surprises one can find behind its doors.

From the outside, the enormous 19,400-square-foot Brentwood abode looks very much like an elevated suburban mansion, complete with pristine landscaping, soaring windows, and a beautifully lit brick facade.

Yet beneath the well-appointed main-level living areas lies a veritable cornucopia of entertainment—including a private two-lane bowling alley, an indoor basketball court, and a spectacular game room, all ready to provide hours of fun to one lucky new owner.

Located within the esteemed Governor's Club community, the seven-bedroom dwelling, which is now on the market for $6.79 million, also offers an incredible level of exclusivity, courtesy of the members-only club that sits at the heart of the neighborhood, providing even more amenities for residents to enjoy, including access to a private golf course.

Yet even in a community filled with lavish dwellings, 55 Governors Way stands out from the crowd, not least because of its sheer size and impressive parcel, which—at more than 2 acres—is the largest found in the gated community.

“The home showcases an old-world style that exudes luxury and quality,” says listing agent Jenny Telwar. “It’s so different from newer builds that can feel cavernous and cold. This home is warm and intimate, with every inch dedicated to rich detail.”

Those details include ornate woodwork, marble and hardwood finishes, and elaborately designed ceilings throughout.

In the living room, a mirrored ceiling with antique-style panels and a central chandelier amplifies both a sense of light and height, while in the home theater, a fiber-optic starry sky brings the drama.

“The large theater room comes with a full wet bar,” Telwar says, before going on to reveal the impressive lineup of features that can be found elsewhere in the home.

“There’s also a full-size two-lane bowling alley, two pool table areas, a golf simulator, arcade games, and a half indoor basketball court," she said. "You can keep guests of all ages entertained for days.”

The home's enormous windows ensure that the property is filled with natural daylight, while the elegant aesthetic carried through each of the living spaces and bedrooms makes the home feel elevated and timeless.

"This extraordinary estate presents a rare opportunity for those seeking the epitome of luxury living with every detail and amenity complete," the listing crows.

Outside, the amenities continue with a resort-like pool area, complete with a waterslide and a grotto-style design that is ideal for entertaining.

“It’s truly an entertainer’s dream,” Telwar says. “The outdoor kitchen includes Viking appliances, a Big Green Egg, ample seating areas, a hot tub, koi pond, and adjacent green space. It truly feels like a resort.”

Beyond recreation, the 2005 home offers wellness-focused features that were ahead of their time, including a full sauna, steam room, and gym. It also includes a massive nine-car and RV garage with a private drive, ideal for any fanatics eager to safely house their impressive collection of vehicles.

Though that feature might not seem like much when compared with the wealth of fun-filled amenities found in the home, Telwar notes that it is a rarity—particularly because it's unlikely that kind of facility could ever be tacked onto a property without one.

“It is a definite bonus,” Telwar notes, “since many newer properties don’t have the space to add one.”

Located just 20 to 25 minutes from downtown Nashville, the estate offers easy access to fine dining, live entertainment, and shopping in nearby Franklin.

“You’re also in the heart of one of the most spectacular golf courses and clubs, the Governor’s Club of Tennessee,” Telwar says. “The gated community provides 24-hour security and an exceptional sense of privacy.”

For Telwar, the home’s true beauty lies in its craftsmanship and atmosphere. “Everything comes together to create a grand manor-house feel,” she says. “You know you’re in something special the moment you walk in.”
