Zac Brown lists Georgia mansion for .25M amid divorce: ‘Sad to let it go’


Country star Zac Brown is saying goodbye to his luxurious Lake Lanier, Georgia estate — just as his divorce battle heats up.

Brown has put his sprawling lakeside home on the market for $3.25 million, hoping to make a hefty profit after buying it for $1.8 million back in June 2020. The listing was first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Situated about 45 miles northeast of Atlanta, the home is in a gated community on the south side of Lake Lanier, close to where Brown grew up in Cumming. The massive 9,448-square-foot property boasts seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, and offers plenty of perks to attract buyers.

“The kitchen overlooks an open-concept vaulted living room and a fireside breakfast room flowing to a screened porch with lake views,” the listing reads, adding that the main level includes a primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, double vanities and custom walk-in closets.

Upstairs, there are three more bedrooms and a library — while the terrace level is packed with amenities, such as a fully equipped bar, a rec room, a home gym, a sauna and even a home theater.

Outside, there’s a deck with a heated infinity pool and spa overlooking the lake, along with a boat house that includes a climate-controlled space for two boats and additional living quarters upstairs.

Of course, the property’s party credentials are top-notch, with a two-slip covered cedar deck that has its own party area, two hydro boat lifts and two jet ski lifts.

“This has been an incredible home for me and my family and being this close to Atlanta,” Brown told The Post in a video statement. “But it feels private and a world away, which is great. Sad to let it go, but excited for some new memories to fill up the place. It served me and my family well. I know the next one will really enjoy it.”

This move comes as Brown, 45, navigates a rocky split from his most recent wife, Kelly Yazdi. The pair were married for just four months before Brown announced their separation last December.

Things quickly turned sour, with Brown filing a lawsuit against Yazdi in May, accusing her of violating a confidentiality agreement and damaging his reputation. A judge, however, denied his request for a temporary restraining order.

Yazdi then filed her own lawsuit. She claimed that Brown used actual footage from their wedding in the music video for his hit “Beautiful Drug” featuring Avicii and cast an actress to portray her negatively.

A request for comment on the proceedings was not returned by press time.

This isn’t Brown’s first time navigating rocky marital waters. He was married to Shelly Brown for 12 years before their 2018 divorce. The former couple shares five kids together — four daughters and a son.

Proposed Georgia bill restricts voting to U.S. citizens


GEORGIA, Ga. (WALB) — A new bill introduced to the Georgia Senate could create a constitutional amendment to restrict voting to legal U.S. citizens.

The bill, Senate Resolution 4EX says, “No person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be entitled to vote at any election by the people.”

If passed, Georgians will vote on the constitutional amendment in the November election.

Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger said “I have been calling on the legislature for years to pass this amendment to the state constitution. I am glad to see the legislature finally act to ensure only American citizens are voting in our elections.”

According to Raffensperger, Georgia was the first state in the nation to conduct citizen verification of voter rolls. Since 2022, Raffensperger’s office conducted two citizenship audits of Georgia’s voter rolls.

SR 4EX Text

“Casting a vote is one of the most important elements of American citizenship. Any illegal vote dilutes the value of a citizen’s lawfully cast ballot. U.S. Citizens should decide Georgia elections. Period. I urge the legislature to pass this important legislation.”

The state uses information from the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) to identify people who are non-citizens. This data is based on documents provided to DDS, through its REAL ID drivers licenses or state identification cards.

That information is also ran through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program to verify an individual’s citizenship status.
