Famous Late Singer Donna Summer's Abandoned $8.57 Million Mansion Around 15K Sq. ft. 11.5 Bathrooms! 

We wish that was the case; not in perfect condition. Anything wood related is mostly rotten on the outside. We now own the property. About $1 million just to get the outside stabilized.

This house has much more problems than you realize. Probably not a good investment to restore it. Also the set up is quite strange with all these obsessive little rooms and closets. Definitely a custom job that would require a lot of interior remodel.

​​​@@crysteltse8611 Perfectly said and you are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ! Sounds like you have done remodeling in the past and know the challenges !

I wonder why her family didn’t move in

Absolutely a waste to be demolished!

@@johncunningham1797 I agree...what a beautiful home. To many bathrooms for me lol but it doesnt look like it's in that bad of condition. Definitely would cost way less to save and improve to desire. What a shame to destroy it

@@CarlaRFowler THEY DON'T SAY WHERE IT IS LOCATED BUT MAYBE THEY COULDN'T AFFORD THE TAXES! ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS IN CALIFORNIA.

​​​​@@olivegreen337 It is in Middle Tennessee just outside of Nashville. Our team purchased it from her husband Bruce Sudano in late 2022. Her name was Donna Summer Sudano. He moved back to LA after she passed in 2012. The home sat abandoned for 10 years until we acquired it.

Heartbreaking knowing it’s going to destroyed.

​@@sharonbowers9929what a waste,its a shame

​​​@@sharonbowers9929 Today we have no plans to remove the home. Not sure where this rumor keeps coming from. Totally false. We purchased the property from her husband in late 2022. When the time comes, someone can purchase and restore it as their dream home. The home is in bad shape on the outside. Anything wood related is rotten including nearly all of the windows. It was abandoned after she passed for 10 years before we acquired it.

@honestabe - A little Side Note - When Donna Summers became a "BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN", she DEEPLY REGRETTED "LOVE TO LOVE YOU"....

Jimmy Webb wrote MacArthur Park.....

She died from lung cancer but never smoked. She believed it was from the asbestos in the air as she was near the twin towers when they imploded.

She died 12 years ago

She was in New York living when the twin towers went down. And one of her last interviews she said she felt being down there during the collapse caused her cancer. just like it caused so many of the first responders and others. Very sad.

Follow the money.

It very likely has a secret entrance to the trafficking tunnels. Most of the cult members had those - "had" being the operative word here. Swamp is being drained! And all those people with beautiful voices are going to be known for what and who they were. "Were" being the operative word again.

And destroy the wildlife habitats. Greedy and shameful!! 21:09 😢1😢😢

@@bobbyjones7354 TOTALLY AGREE!!!!

Hummmm, we are the developers. Not very nice comments you made. No condos going on the property. Those are not allowed in the municipality where the home is located. We are trying to save the home after it was abandoned for 10 years after she passed in 2012. We purchased the property from her husband in late 2022 and have no plans today to see the home removed. Please know the facts before you say terrible things about people. Anything wood related on the outside is mostly rotten. $1 million just to stabilize the exterior including replacing all of the rotten windows. That's why they are boarded up. Roof, 13 HVAC units, settlement issues and the list goes on. The home now has a far better chance of survival under our ownership vs. it sitting in a field rotting away.

Thank for sharing this information.

Maybe if she stayed at this mansion, she would still be alive. No offense. RIP Queen of Disco!

​@@rickmiranda8183perhaps??😊

❤ Someone once said, "She was a truly talented voice in the disco era." ⭐

She died in her home in FL.

*waste

Thank for the correction i am lol at myself!

@bawillard -Truer words have NEVER been spoken!!!!

Same thing happening in other countries. Many homes of the rich, famous and powerful abandoned to waste and just sitting there to rot.

In the description, he corrects that and says that the home is not going to be demolished. It is going to be sold.

Had great taste

What a waste of

Are there no kids or relatives,around???

Oh I believe that they're doing it everywhere I live in New York and they're tearing down houses down all the time! Disgusting

We purchased the property from her husband in late 2022; sat abandoned for 10 years after she passed in 2012. We absolutely have no plans today to remove the home; wish that rumor would stop. When the time comes, hopefully someone will purchase it, restore and make it their dream home. It will eventually be on a 2 acre lot.

​@@gracedayo6624the family sold it. I guess they didnt want it money to keep it up.

Her name was actually Donna Summer Sudano. The owner was her husband Bruce Sudano. We purchased the home along with 25 surrounding acres from Bruce in late 2022. The home will eventually be plotted on a 2-acre lot. Whoever purchases the home can restore or do what they want. Nearly everything wood on the outside of the home is rotten due to not being maintained after she passed in 2012. The family owned the home for a long time. The windows are rotten on the outside also. As I remember, the home has 13 HVAC units; not exactly energy efficient. The home with the 25 acres was available for anyone to purchase from her husband. We have no plans today to remove the house. When the time comes and the lot is platted, whoever purchases it can restore it with their funds and make it their dream home. The home was built around 1995. I have a photo in the office from when the home was new; the landscaping was very low and the home was gorgeous. It is classic English architecture on the exterior. When we acquired it, the front of the house structure was almost completely overtaken by vines. Wish I had more history to share as to the builder and complete ownership history.

@@ferraridan4883why are you selling it? It could have at least been restored and made into a monumental site, bringing in millions in tourist money. People would love to stay there on vacation, at least.

@@ferraridan4883 Thank you for this information, it has been said, the property was sold back to the developer who was going to demolish it in order to build a multi complex of properties on the land.

@@miacat1727That’s actually not surprising & so very sad they sold it back to the Obviously “Greedy” developer, instead of a family who Truly wanted to live there & did not just see it as a Investment property & obviously the developer is doing what will bring the most profit from the property- Sad Indeed !!!!

​​​​​​​@@miacat1727 It will eventually be a part of over a 200 lot upper end subdivision in Williamson County, just outside of Nashville.; 4 to 8 million dollar homes on 400 acres. We absolutely have no plans today of removing the home. Hopefully someday someone will purchase it, restore and make it their dream home. It will be several years before we get to that part of the neighborhood and plat the property. We are the development team..

...Donna 🌹was my neighbor in Naples ... ...Artist, Old Naples Florida🌴🎨

Ah….but she is buried in nashville!!!

That's not her Nashville house either. These guy's are hacks.

​@@tuck6464 The home is not in Nashville, it is in Middle Tennessee and is located just outside of Nashville. We are the owners and purchased it from her husband in late 2022.

@@ferraridan4883 Not the house in "this" video Dan. Donna Summer never owned or lived in the house in "this" video Dan. The house you're talking about can be seen on the internet on the realtor's site that sold in 2022.

BRENTWOOD, Tennessee

Not the one she died in.

​@@Tazzyone. You are absolutely correct. She passed at her home in the Naples area.

If someone can afford a mansion, they have people to clean for them.

Thank you for clarifying. I’m sure Donna left her husband and kids well provided for. She was a beautiful person inside and out.

She lived in this house from 1995-2012 until her death and her family kept it for a couple of years until recently. There’s footage of Donna’s daughter in this house in her 2023 HBO documentary “Love To Love You, Donna Summer” going through pieces of her archive and crying on the stairs. It must’ve been sold just recently around 2021-2022

The home is not in Nashville, it is located just outside of Nashville in Williamson County. We purchased it and 25 surrounding acres in late 2022 from her husband Bruce Sudano. Her name was actually Donna Summer Sudano.

Donna and Bruce lived in a house in Oak Hill, a Nashville suburb, before moving into this house in Brentwood.

@@ferraridan4883 You're full of sht.

Tommy Shaw from the band Styx?

This mansion is in Brentwood

@@sharksport01 _Yes, the very man himself. (Obviously he has great taste in real estate)._

@@kbVACArestatecarsnrvs _physical address is Nashville. Granted the home may be in the greater Nashville area, like Brentwood._

Tommy Shaw owns, and still lives in Donna Summers Oakwood home. This home is not it. This is Brentwood. Built in 1995. Sold after her passing 2013. Then the race track guy bought it and lived there until he sold it 2 years ago.

Styx singer Tommy Shaw bought and is probably still living in the house in Nashville. This one may be in Naples, FL.

@@kimj4185 ...No Naples they say was by the beach. This doesn't look like Florida. 😆. But I think this is the first house she bought in Nashville in the mid 90s. But it wasn't the last house in Nashville the one they showed in the documentary where they showed her at the end was another house in Nashville her last one and her home in Naples was just a vacation spot and it was where she passed.

Donna sold this house in the 90's and her current home was in Brentwood TN.

⁠@@bmw3842 that’s not true, she bought the house in 1995 Donna lived here until she passed away. Even though shortly before she passed, she moved into her home in Naples.

Great idea but not allowed in a residential neighborhood or by city ordinances.

Not being demolished. We own it now. Will be for sale in the future for someone to restore and make it their dream home.

@@ferraridan4883 Yeah, So Proud to hear...

She was worth $70M when she died. I'm pretty sure the family could afford to live there.

They did until a few years ago.

Why didn't the children inherit the house & sell it if they didn't want to live in it.

@@miacat1727 Her husband, Bruce, inherited the house, he sold it to its most recent owner who then sold it to the developer who plans to demolish it to make room for a housing development.

@@dannycarrington1601 Thank you, that makes sense, strange why the person presenting the video didn't provide this background information. Such a shame this beautiful house is up for demolition.

They were saying some guy lived there,what?

This was absolutely her home. Our team bought it from her husband a little over a year ago. The Grammys and performance outfits were still in the closets right up until the time we closed. Her paintings were also throughout the home. The property is just outside of Nashville in Williamson County.

She owned a house in Oak Hill Tn and that is the house that was sold to the guy from Styx. This is the house she bought after the house in oak hill in Brentwood

Donna Summer didn't sell the house, her husband, Bruce, sold it after she passed away.

​@@dannycarrington1601 Absolutely correct. We purchased it and the 25 surrounding acres from Bruce in late 2022. It sat abandoned for 10 years after she passed in 2012.

​@@dannycarrington1601Thanks for clarifying ❤

Wow😢

@@ferraridan4883 consider selling to me

We have no plans today to remove the home. Our team bought this property in late 2022 from Donna's husband. Nearly all the wood on the outside including the windows are rotten after being abandoned for over 10 years after she died. If someone wants to purchase the home once we divide the property into lots and make it their dream home, we will be more than welcome to consider their offer. This house will eventually sit on a 2 acre lot. If someone wants to purchase the home, restore it when the time comes with their funds, we wish them all the best.

@@ferraridan4883that’s too bad it is such a beautiful home

@@ferraridan4883why did they just let it get that bad? You would think family would have sold it sooner or lived in it?

​​​@@thelioness6102 I fully agree. She died in 2012 and we bought it in 2022 from her husband. There was no exterior maintenance done on the house for 10 years. Her husband moved back to LA after she passed as I understand. Maybe too many memories in this home and they just did not want to be there anymore.

Tennessee law on squatters is now the same as Florida. Get into the property and you'll immediately be subject to criminal trespassing and breaking and entering. There's already been one arrest at the property. We are the owners.

Tennessee now has squatters laws like Florida. Anyone on the property can be arrested for criminal trespass and breaking and entering. A neighbor has already reported someone that should not have been on the property and they were arrested.

This was absolutely her home. She had another home at one time on Overton Lea in Nashville before she sold it and moved to this home. This home is located in Williamson County. Our team purchased it over a year ago along with 25 acres that came with the home. The seller was her husband Bruce Sudano.

This IS the home at 914 Overton Lea Rd in Nashville, TN.

​​​​​​@@montgomerycamjr No, this property is in Williamson County. Overton Lea is in Oak Hill; part of Nashville. She sold that home then moved to this one. Her paintings, performance outfits and Grammys were still in the home right before we acquired it.

We are the development team and the owners. We purchased the property from her husband in late 2022 after it sat abandoned for 10 years. Our team has no intentions today of removing the home. It will be for sale at a point in the future for someone to restore and make it their dream home.

It's in Brentwood, her previous home is in Oak Hill.

Yessir!

​​@@grayx1999 Great video by the way,

@@ferraridan4883 thank you! Best of luck with the house!

​@@grayx1999 Thanks and we need it. Would love to sell the home to you !

Not for sale at the moment. We acquired the property from her husband in late 2022. We have no plans to remove the home. Hopefully someone will purchase it, restore and make it their dream home.

@@ferraridan4883 Is it an expired listing? Will you be selling the house & 2 acres separately from the rest of the acreage? Did Bruce Sudano repossess it from the race car driver that purchased it from the estate? ❤️🙏

All we know is Donna died in 2012 and as we were told, Bruce moved back to LA shortly after. We purchased the property directly from him in late 2022. It was abandoned, again as we were told shortly after she passed. Probably way too many memories of her for him to stay there. ​We have limited knowledge of the timeline between 2012 and 2022. Sorry for the limited information but hope this helps. The home will be for sale at a future date for someone to restore. The home will eventually be on a 2-acre lot. It is in the far back of the 400 acre upper end subdivision we are developing. We sincerely hope someone will bring the home back to its former glory. Thanks !

In Middle Tennessee just outside of Nashville. We now own it. When we purchased it in late 2022 from her husband, nearly all of the front structure of the home had been overtaken by vines. So sad,

Her oldest daughter and her husband live there for a short time after

Things ain’t like back then where you could be rich … be rich … shidd the upkeep on home like this is most likely insane .. hell if I rich these days a modest home where I could see my end of my house and nice neighborhood will work

This home is located in Middle Tennessee just outside of Nashville. We are now the owners and purchased it directly from her husband in 2022.

She did smoke in the 70s but quit.

No she sold this house decades before her death

@@Tazzyone. hasn’t been that long, Donna live there until her death, then her oldest daughter live there with her kids until a few years ago

Nope

The home was totally empty when we acquired the property from her husband in late 2022. The garments were brought in and staged by the people making these videos.
