Jason Aldean buys $10.2 million mansion on Florida's Treasure Coast
- Jason and Brittany Aldean moved their family to Stuart in 2022.
- The home cost them $10.2 million.
- Jason Aldean has owned homes in Florida before. His previous properties were in Santa Rosa Beach and St. George Island.
Country music star Jason Aldean has made Florida's Treasure Coast his home, buying a $10.2 million waterfront mansion.
Located on Hutchinson Island on the Sunshine State's east coast, the 7,300-square-foot property has four bedrooms and six bathrooms on just under an acre. Jason and his wife Brittany Aldean bought the home in February 2022.
The property was bought by The W Real Estate Trust, based in Nashville, according to the Martin County Property Appraiser's Office, the TCPalm confirmed this week. That trust was the seller of Aldean's home on St. George Island off the Florida panhandle.
Buying a property with a limited liability corporation or a trust is common among public figures. An LLC or trust provides an extra layer of protection for the buyer by shielding their name from public records.
On May 18, 2022, Brittany Aldean posted a house tour on Instagram, giving followers a glimpse into their latest Florida digs.
"This is for those of you who love home decor. I personally am obsessed with interiors … so here’s our new Florida home for some potential inspo!" she wrote on Instagram.
The Aldeans' Martin County home is near A1A.
Who is Jason Aldean?
Born Jason Aldine Williams, Aldean is a 46-year-old country music singer from Macon, Georgia.
He signed with Broken Bow Records and moved to Nashville in 1998 at 21 years old. Throughout his 25-year career, Aldean has amassed 27 No. 1 hits and has released 11 studio albums. His recent single, "Try That In A Small Town" has drawn national attention for its controversial lyrics and music video.
"When u grow up in a small town, it's that unspoken rule of 'we all have each other's backs and we look out for each other,'" Aldean said in an Instagram post ahead of the video's release. "It feels like somewhere along the way, that sense of community and respect has gotten lost. Deep down, we are all ready to get back to that. I hope my new music video helps y'all know that u are not alone in feeling that way. Go check it out!"
The music video depicts Aldean singing in front of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, with clips of police on patrol and scenes from various protests plays in the background.
The New York Times pointed out that it is the same site where a Black teenager was lynched in 1927. Henry Choate, 18, was accused of assaulting a 16-year-old white girl although she was unable to identify him. He was jailed, but a mob of hundreds of white men grabbed him from his cell, tied him to the back of a car and dragged him across town before he eventually was hanged in front of the courthouse.
The Columbia Race Riot occurred at the same site in 1946.

Has Jason Aldean lived in Florida?
Yes, the country star is no stranger to the Sunshine State.
“I grew up in Macon, I was born there and raised there with my mom, my parents divorced when I was 3, my mom stayed in Macon and my dad lived in Florida,” Aldean told Music Mayhem in 2022. “So I kind of grew up in both places, and anytime it starts getting warm I like to be at the beach somewhere and it’s kind of my happy place. And so I’ll probably always have a house down there somewhere, it’s just kind of my favorite place to be.”
In 2020, Aldean sold his St. George Island home for $2.4 million. In 2021, he sold his home in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, in Walton County, for $4.1 million.
