Quick Answer

Chris Benoit’s house was a private residence at 130 Green Meadow Lane in Fayetteville, Georgia, roughly 30 miles south of Atlanta. Benoit lived there with his wife, Nancy, and their son, Daniel, until June 2007, when all three were found dead inside the home in what Fayette County authorities determined was a double murder-suicide. The property included a personal gym, a “bonus room,” and an outdoor deck and pool area.

Where Is the Chris Benoit House Located?

The house is located at 130 Green Meadow Lane in Fayetteville, Georgia, within Fayette County — an area roughly 35 miles south of downtown Atlanta and about two miles from Peachtree City. WWE itself confirmed the address in a corporate timeline released after Benoit’s death, which referenced a text message Benoit sent identifying his location as 130 Green Meadow Lane, Fayetteville, Georgia, 30215. The property sits on a cul-de-sac reached from Quarters Road, in a residential neighborhood rather than a gated or commercial estate.

It’s worth noting clearly: this is private property, and it is not open to the public. Several property-history sites that document the home explicitly caution visitors against attempting to enter or approach it.

Property Layout and Features

Descriptions of the home’s interior consistently point to a few specific spaces that later became central to news coverage of the case:

  • A “bonus room” upstairs, where investigators determined Nancy Benoit was killed.
  • A personal home gym, containing weight equipment, where Chris Benoit died by suicide.
  • An outdoor deck, patio, and swimming pool, described in lifestyle-focused write-ups as suited for entertaining.
  • Multiple bedrooms, commonly reported as six, though this figure comes from real-estate-interest blogs rather than a confirmed public record.

Because no primary source — deed record, MLS listing, or court document — was available for this article, exact specifications (square footage, lot size, bedroom/bathroom count) should be treated as commonly cited estimates rather than verified facts.

Purchase History and Value

Publicly available information on when Benoit purchased the home, and for how much, is thin and inconsistent. Some secondary sources place the purchase in the late 1990s or early 2000s with a price near $1.2 million; others cite a 2007 estimated value closer to $900,000. Neither figure is backed by a cited deed, tax record, or real-estate filing that this research could confirm. Readers should treat any specific dollar figure attached to this property with caution.

What Happened at the House in June 2007

The Fayetteville property became a crime scene over the weekend of June 22–24, 2007. According to WWE’s own account, the company attempted to reach Benoit throughout the weekend without success, and by Monday, June 25, had asked the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office to check on the family. Sheriff’s deputies entered the home and found three deceased bodies — an adult male, an adult female, and a male child — and the residence was declared a crime scene.

Investigators later determined that Nancy Benoit was murdered first, dying of asphyxiation on the night of June 22, and that Daniel Benoit was killed the following morning while sedated. Chris Benoit died by suicide inside the home days later. This article focuses on the property itself; for a full account of the case, see our dedicated coverage of the Chris Benoit case timeline.
