Country or classic rock and roll lovers might do anything to go transport through time and attend an early Lynyrd Skynyrd concert. While that’s not possible, owning one of the founding member’s homes now is. Late guitarist Gary Rossington, the last suriving band member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band, passed away early this year at age 71. The music legend’s family is now selling the 80-acre estate in Georgia he called home, putting the price tag at $12 million.

Located just north of Atlanta in Milton, the massive property holds a main and a guest house, two barns, and a private lake two boat docks and tons of fish coming through due to a creek. With endless scenic views and places to wander and explore nature, there’s no end to the tranquil leisure to be found on property. Needless to say, it has all the makings of a legacy family retreat to last through the decades.

The five-bedroom main house is the estate’s central point, offering light-filled spaces, five bedrooms, and outdoor living areas that lead right out to the pool and spa, then the lake beyond. Close by, a guest house is at the ready for your visitors. Providing an ideal amount of separation and privacy for extended guests, it is a fully-finished, two-level cottage with four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Of course, the barns can comfortably host your animal friends, especially horses and livestock. Or, they’re ripe to be converted into party barns for intimate concerts or large scale entertaining, which has been all the rage with the affluent lately.

Cynthia Chandlee of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty holds the celebrity listing with ample room to roam.
