NASHVILLE, Tenn. — If Twin Rivers Farm sells for anything close to its $65 million listing price, the colossal luxury homestead deep in the Nashville suburbs could become the most expensive property deal ever made in Tennessee.
Larry Keele, retired cofounder of one of the world’s largest asset management firms, Oaktree Capital, listed his family’s forested domicile, crisscrossed by rivers in Leiper’s Fork. He and his wife, Leiyan Keele, have transformed the 383-acre farm into a pristine estate adjoining a state-protected preserve.
Franklin-based architect Steve Giannetti designed the property. The goal, he said, was to seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living. The grounds include a guest cottage, gardens, horse trails and stables, a pool house with a retractable roof, basketball and tennis courts, two private lakes and an orchard.
“The home is done to another level of detail with such intention in how the outdoor and indoor areas play together. It’s really fascinating,” said listing agent Dan McEwen. “It’s hard to even come up with what else you would want.”

Modern sculptures, paintings and geometric lighting add luxurious touches to wooden floors, marble kitchen furniture and rustic bedrooms. There is a backyard putting green, an arcade, a movie theater and a party barn for entertaining with two massive glass doors overlooking a lake.
“It’s such a special place,” McEwen said. “There are so many different experiences you can have on the property.”
More real estate records
The state’s record real estate sale was also made in Williamson County, according to records.
The former home of country music star Alan Jackson on Moran Road in northern Williamson County fetched $28 million when it sold in 2010. A close runner-up, on King Lane in south Williamson County, sold for $27.5 million in 2019. In Nashville, there is a 60-acre Chickering Road estate in Belle Meade currently listed on the market for $40 million.
