We never get tired of staring at the homes of the rich and famous. Last week it was Mariah Carey's rotating beach palaces, and now it's "Stronger" diva Kelly Clarkson's Mansfield, Texas, ranch.

Clarkson is selling the four bedroom, six bathroom estate for a mere $1.495 million. It's a bargain, really, because you'll also be getting a gym, theater, man-made pond and lap and diving pools all on 14 fabulous acres just 25 minutes away from where the singer grew up.

Check it out:

The singer purchased the house in 2002 not long after she won "American Idol." The years since "Idol" have treated the down-home Clarkson pretty well … maybe she's looking for a real estate upgrade?

Kelly's recent #1 single "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" has the distinction of being the top-selling single ever by any "American Idol" contestant. She is also the second biggest-selling "Idol," after Carrie Underwood, in terms of cumulative album sales. The country star has sold 13.2 million copies of her four albums, while Clarkson has moved 11.65 million copies of her five records.

Clarkson and Underwood's individual sales, however, far exceed those of any other "Idol" contestant. Season five's Chris Daughtry and season two's Clay Aiken are the only other "Idol's" who can claim career sales of more than five million in the U.S.
