Gary Allan recently moved into a new house right next to his previous house, and it just so happens his new home used to belong to a country legend, the late Conway Twitty. He recently renovated the inside of the house, but kept some original parts of the house.

“I’ve lived next to this house since 2003 and I was renovating my house and I asked if I could tear some trees down in between our property, and they said ‘yeah, we’re moving to Florida, so we don’t care.’ I was like, ‘Wow! Are you going to sell it?’ And they said, yeah, and I think I bought it within like three or four texts,” says Gary. “It was kinda cool – I bought AND sold my house without a realtor. And then I just finished renovating it. We did a lot to the inside. I left some things that were Conway’s originally. I left the patio just like it was, and his widow that came over gave me a tour book that was shot in there. He used to have fan club parties at his house, and he would go in the back and flip burgers for everybody.”

“The house has a really cool vibe. It’s on the point of a peninsula,” he says. “It’s almost got a 360 (degree) view of water, really beautiful and couldn’t be happier. I just finished the renovation, and I renovated the last house I was in, so I feel like I’ve been under construction for five years and it feels so good not to have someone with a hammer in their hand at my house every morning.”

Gary just released his first album in eight years, Ruthless.
