Chase Matthew recently made a major purchase that he’s already calling his “forever property.”
During a new interview with Country Countdown USA, the chart-topping country star opened up about what’s new in his life, revealing that he recently purchased his own piece of land, and he’s already putting in the work to make it his own.
“I just recently purchased my forever property. I named it Chasen’ Acres. We’re having a lotta good times out there,” Matthew shared. “I feel I’ve worked hard to earn that place. So I’m in the process of learning how to grow hay and cut hay. We have a couple ponds. It’s not a lake, but it’s a good time.”
Matthew frequently gives fans a glimpse into life off the road, sharing photos and videos of himself working around the property and tackling the everyday chores that come with owning land.
Those days at home are especially valuable for the Tennessee native, who has spent much of the year on the road living out his country music dreams. Earlier this summer, Matthew checked a major item off his bucket list when he performed his first-ever stadium show alongside his friends and heroes, Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean.
And while his touring schedule keeps him busy, Matthew is also watching his music continue to climb the country radio charts. His solo single, “Holdin’ It Down,” is making an impact, while his collaboration with Lauren Alaina, “All My Exes,” is also gaining major momentum.
Matthew admitted that seeing the two songs climbing the charts at the same time is a surreal experience.
“It’s pretty crazy to see my name on that chart with so many people who are the biggest in the industry. So to see it twice, and be shared with Lauren Alaina, she’s such a great person, such a great friend,” he said, before adding, “When we sang it, we knew it was meant to be. It’s cool to see where it’s at now.”
As he continues working on his next project, Matthew is also giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come with new music. He recently released “Autopilot,” which he has described as his most personal song to date. The vulnerable track offers an unfiltered look at a difficult period in his life, capturing the feeling of simply going through the motions and moving through life on autopilot.
“‘Autopilot’ is the most important song I’ve ever released,” Matthew previously shared. “I wrote it about one of the lowest points of my life, when I was just going through the motions and honestly didn’t care what tomorrow looked like.”
