As the wrought-iron gates swing wide from the private entrance, you will find one of the South's finest and most prestigious estates: The Villa Collina. Nestled into 8.2 acres of meticulously manicured landscaping in the historic Lyons View neighborhood, the property features unparalleled views of the Tennessee River and Great Smoky Mountains, while only being a few minutes from Downtown Knoxville and the University of Tennessee. Across more than 36,000 sq.ft., the estate features 50 incredible rooms with imported and hand-crafted finishes, including 11 full- and 5 half-bathrooms with gilded fixtures and Italian marble accent pieces. A unique 2,600 sq.ft. wine cellar features a grotto rivaling the best of Tuscany's ancient villas, with artfully curated tasting rooms and storage for thousands of bottles within its twisting brick corridors. A luxurious home spa is the ultimate spot for rest and relaxation, with a heated indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and exercise room. A commercial elevator connects every floor. This incredible home features a secluded guest suite, staff quarters, six-car standard garage and separate single-bay garage for a limousine. A state of the art security system provides peace of mind, allowing homeowners to monitor the estate remotely.
