She's made a great comeback to the music industry this year following the release of her new album Meaning of Life, hosting last month's Billboard Music Awards and winning The Voice in her first year as a judge.

But despite her success in the music world, it seems that Kelly Clarkson is not having as much luck with real estate as she has still not been able to sell her Tennessee home after it's been listed on the market for more than a year.

The former American Idol winner, 36, originally put her family mansion - which she shared with her husband Brandon Blackstock - up for sale in March last year for $8.75 million, after the pair bought it for $2.86 million in 2012.

The Country singing sensation's 20,121-square-foot home was built in 2007, and is a lakefront property that boasts seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and three half bathrooms.

The estate is spread over four gated acres, and the couple moved in back in 2013 with their children River and Remington, and Brandon's children Savannah and Seth, after they did some 'major renovations'.

Based just 45-minutes outside of Nashville, the home is in an ideal location, and visitors are sure to feel welcome the instant they arrive thanks to the open plan entrance which is highlighted by a fountain and large flower bed.
