Elvis' Farm Up For Sale
The Tennessee farm ELVIS PRESLEY bought in 1974
is on the market for $4 million (GBP 2 million).
Presley bought the 70-acre estate and owned it until
just before his death in 1977. The rural property,
which is up for sale on auction website eBay,
features a rustic cabin, hay fields, ponds and a barn,
and comes with livestock.
The realtors behind the sale are hoping The King's connection
to the farmland will prompt a concert promoter
to turn the site into a modern day Woodstock.
The sales pitch reads: "The property would make an ideal
golf course or concert venue.
The natural contour of the acreage would make this farm especially
ideal for a concert venue. "It goes without saying that the historic
aspects of this farm would make the marketing of a concert
venue unlimited and in a league of its own.

It's cropped up on here a couple of times over the last 2 or 3 months - they've clearly had no luck in selling it.
I think from the description it was owned by Vernon, rather than Elvis, and it's unlikely that Elvis ever went there, but as is often the case, they're using a "presley" connection to inflate the price to an unrealistic level.
