Steven Seagal struggling to sell Tennessee estate

Actor and martial artist Steven Seagal often tussles on the big screen, where he usually winds up dishing out more punishment than he receives. However, the world of real estate, he’s discovered, isn’t so carefully scripted.
In 2005 he bought a 12-acre estate with an 8,000-square-foot Colonial mansion in Eads, Tenn., for $1.5 million. In 2010 he put the property on the market for nearly $2 million, but there were no takers.
After going on and off the market over the years, the Tennessee estate is back on again, listed at the bargain price of $1.25 million — a quarter-million less than what he paid for it.
Until recently, the 65-year-old star hasn’t been in a particular rush to sell. He’s been doing a lot of globe-trotting, most notably to Russia, where he’s developed a cozy relationship with Vladimir Putin, who granted him Russian citizenship. He’s also made appearances in the Philippines, where he’s been scouting movie locations, praising Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, and attending the Miss Earth beauty pageant.
When he’s stateside, he spends more time on his 12-acre spread in the Tonto National Forest outside Phoenix. He paid $3.5 million in 2010 for the Arizona property, which includes an 8,450-square-foot mansion and sits on a ridge overlooking the Chiricahua Golf Course.
Now Seagal and his wife, former ballroom dancer Erdenetuya Batsukh, are serious about shedding the four-bedroom home in Eads, a tiny town in Tennessee about a half-hour outside of Memphis.
The three-story home has a sizeable pool area surrounded by Pennsylvania bluestone, and the basement includes a media area, exercise room and full bar.

The action star of hits such as “Under Siege,” “Hard to Kill” and “On Deadly Ground” is still working on films, most of them of the direct-to-DVD variety. In fact, he produced and acted in seven movies in 2016 alone. He had a short-lived reality TV series on A&E, “Steven Seagal: Lawman,” in which cameras followed him as he did reserve deputy duty for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office.
