Two dining rooms? An inground swimming pool? Over 23 acres of land? These are just some
of the stunning features of Christina Haack’s fabulous new Nashville home!
There's no stopping Christina Haack. Not only does she star on multiple TV shows — including
"Flip or Flop," "Christina on the Coast" and "Christina: Stronger by Design" — but
she's also written a wellness book and even launched her own furniture line. But now,
the southern California-based designer is setting her sights on another piece of property,
and another state — all in the name of quality family time.
As fans well know, the home renovation star's personal life has met public scrutiny much
more than anyone might enjoy. Besides working alongside her first ex-hubby,
Tarek El Moussa, on "Flip or Flop," she and her most recent ex-husband, Ant Anstead,
split for good in 2020. Their marriage lasted less than two years. As Haack explained to E! in 2021,
"I believe that everyone deserves to have love and find love and I hope it happens to
me ... but it would take a really special someone and my goal right now is just to
focus on my kids and keeping my private life, as private as it can possibly be."
"Life throws you curveballs and…focus on the future."
Well, Haack certainly found love again — and has since gotten engaged to Joshua Hall.
But despite the new relationship, it seems there's no better way to focus
on family time than to retreat to a picturesque farmhouse in Tennessee. As Haack told People,
"I fell in love with Tennessee. […] Being out
there on all that land reminded me of my favorite childhood memories."
Those memories were a big factor in her decision to officially become
a part-time Tennessean. And it appears she wanted her own kids
to experience the same great childhood she had. She shared with the outlet,
"I love taking the kids to the country restaurants and listening to live music.
All the restaurants are so kid-friendly."
"Oh my gosh, can you believe this is our house?"
After just one day on the market, Haack's offer on her stunning Franklin,
Tennessee home was accepted. As American Luxury noted, she bought the 5,000 sq.
ft. farmhouse — with almost 24 acres of land — for a cool $2.5 million.
The house features 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, a pool,
wraparound porch, and fireplace. Plus, white, clean, crisp, and modern designs, which are a
favorite of the designer's. High ceilings and exposed wood beams add a rustic flair.
But while the home was already full of design elements that were completely on-brand for the
California designer, there are also details that feel uniquely Tennessee-meets-California.
And they have us drooling over this interior. Not only is there a casual and formal dining room,
but the latter can also be closed off from the rest of the house. The warmly lit space features
an exposed brick wall and a chandelier made of antlers. Instead of screaming "hunting lodge,"
the contrast of organic against contemporary comes off as perfectly rustic and cozy.
"I just like mixin' it up."
"Cheers!"
But cool light fixtures are a common theme throughout the house. In the kitchen,
a wheel-style chandelier overlooks an island from its perch between exposed wood beams.
The kitchen also boasts exposed brick and stone, contrasted with crisp white walls,
which give the room an almost "Old World" vibe. Similar light fixtures
can be found in other areas of the house as well, including hallways and bedrooms.
But, of course, nothing says "Southern charm" like a wraparound porch and some sweet tea.
And this home has got just the space for that. While Haack's southern California
properties have lent themselves to almost over-the-top outdoor designs over the years,
her Nashville vacation home flies a little more under the radar.
"I think I could get used to country life real quick."
The home also features an inground pool. But it may not end up being the most
frequented part of the property. With almost 24 acres to explore,
Haack and her kids just might be spending more time on land than in the deep end. Recalling her
years growing up, spending weeks on end at her grandparents' farm, Haack shared with People,
"I felt so carefree and loved taking out their
quads and hanging with my cousins on all the land."
With her best friend, nutritionist Cara Clark, also living the Nashville life nearby, Haack
will surely be able to share those cool, relaxing, country vibes with her kids for decades to come.
"I want them to explore, have adventures and create lasting memories."
