Earlier this year, country music star Kenny Chesney purchased a Malibu home for $7.4 million. Chesney is a superstar in Nashville land, regularly selling out his concerts.

The house is small by Malibu standards, with two bedrooms and three baths. Listings mention a pool, farmhouse kitchen, nicely-sized living areas and outdoor verandas. With just over a 1/2 acre, though, it’s no slouch in the land department. With gardens, lawns, water views, outdoor oven and barbecue, and an infinity pool (which we would love to have), this sounds like a nice little space for entertaining.

And since Chesney’s brief 2005 marriage to Renee Zellweger went by the wayside, he’s been enjoying his beach party lifestyle. This home certainly does help perpetuate that image. Having said all that, we do admit that Chesney’s concerts are not only wildly popular, but quite entertaining as well. And full of beer. Lots and lots of beer. Still, he’s come a long way from "She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy." Thankfully.

Update: No sooner did we report this news, and find that Chesney’s February purchase is already back up for sale. Chesney is said to be too busy to spend time in Malibu.
