May 07, 2023Chipper Jones Snags Record
Talk about a home run!
Former Atlanta Braves great Chipper Jones recently set a real estate record with the sale of his Canton, GA, mansion.
The $11 million final price was the largest recorded sale so far this year in Georgia—and the biggest real estate deal in the Peach State since 2019.
This sale also netted Jones a nice profit: He purchased the ranch in 2018 for $9.25 million. The endlessly luxurious property features 37 acres, eight bedrooms, and 11 baths.
The mansion's wooded lot includes a fish-stocked, private lake; gardens; a pool; fire pit; and horse stables. In addition to the main house, there's a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment with its own kitchenette and office.

A vaulted, dome-topped entryway greets visitors to the main residence, leading to dramatic spaces with hardwood floors and natural stone. Custom lighting, cabinetry, and an open floor plan offer elegance and utility.
The primary bedroom suite boasts a private patio, floor-to-ceiling movie screen, and huge closets. Just off the bedroom, there's an enormous bath with heated floors and a freestanding tub.
Entertainment options abound in the game room, home theater with plush seating, sauna, playroom, and wine cellar.
Outside, there's an Olympic-sized, heated pool; cabana; and plenty of room for dining and leisure. Love the idea of revving up a dirt bike on your own secluded property? Well, you can buzz around here on dedicated trails.
And if your ride of choice is the equine variety, the four-stall stable is world-class and ready to house your galloping friends.

After the sale, Jones will still have a place to rest his head. He recently picked up a $5.4 million mansion, also in Canton. Built in 2019, the farmhouse-style, four-bedroom abode sits on about 10 acres.
Jones starred 19 seasons with the Braves and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018. Today, he serves as a part-time consultant to the team's hitters.
