*It has been just over a year since the music world lost the iconic voice of Angie Stone, and now her family is preparing to say goodbye to the physical space she called home. The neo-soul artist, known for timeless hits like “Wish I Didn’t Miss You” and “No More Rain (In This Cloud),” passed away suddenly on March 1, 2025, at the age of 63, following a tragic car accident in Montgomery, Alabama.
Her death left her children, Diamond Stone and Michael Archer II, to manage her estate—a task that has proven both emotionally and financially complex. As of March 2026, that journey has reached a bittersweet milestone: listing the family’s Atlanta-area home for $670,000.
A Closer Look at the Property
Located in the serene golf course community of Locust Grove, the residence at 6009 Golf View Xing is far from a standard celebrity estate. It is a spacious, all-brick ranch home sitting proudly on a desirable corner lot. The timeless brick construction offers a sense of permanence and stability—qualities that have been hard to come by for the Stone family over the last year.
According to the Zillow listing, the property is an “expansive” haven spanning 5,912 square feet. It features 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, providing the kind of space where a family could grow and gather. The functional layout flows seamlessly, and for car enthusiasts or those with simply a need for ample storage, the home boasts a rare 4-car garage.
The listing notes that the home has undergone a “soft renovation,” offering a refreshed foundation while leaving room for a new owner to inject their “personal vision and design touches.” Priced at $670,000, it represents a chance for someone to own a piece of Georgia heritage while finishing the story the Stone family must now leave behind.
Why is the Home Being Sold?
The decision to list the property is deeply intertwined with the financial realities following Angie Stone’s death. Prior to her passing, Stone had publicly alleged that she was owed significant sums from past publishing deals and royalty agreements—a common struggle for many legacy R&B artists.
Following her death, her children reportedly found themselves unable to access these funds due to the complex nature of royalty collections and estate probate. Without that expected income stream, maintaining the mortgage on a nearly 6,000-square-foot home became untenable.
In the chaotic weeks immediately following her passing, Diamond Stone faced public scrutiny after making a request for donations via Cash App to cover funeral costs and pressing household expenses. Today, the sale of the family home is the next logical—though heartbreaking—step to settle those debts while the fight for Angie’s musical legacy continues in the courts.
The Fight for Justice: Details Emerge in Wrongful Death Lawsuit
Complicating the family’s grief is an active wrongful death lawsuit filed in September 2025 against the trucking company involved in the crash. According to court filings, the lawsuit provides harrowing details about Stone’s final moments.
The suit alleges that the driver lost control of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van carrying Stone and her bandmates following a performance in Mobile, Alabama. The vehicle veered off the roadway and overturned on I-65, coming to rest in the left lane. Critically, the lawsuit states that Stone and the other occupants survived the initial rollover and that passersby had stopped to help five of the nine occupants crawl out of the disabled van .
As Stone was still trying to escape, an 18-wheeler carrying a load of sugar slammed into the stationary van at nearly 70 miles per hour without braking. The impact ejected Stone and pinned her under the van, where she died. The lawsuit further alleges that the truck driver was distracted, wearing headphones, and that the vehicle’s collision avoidance system was defective and failed to detect the van lying in the interstate.
Filed by Diamond Stone, Michael D’Angelo Archer, and crash survivor Sheila Hopkins, the suit names the truck driver, trucking company CRST, manufacturer Daimler Truck, and others, seeking wrongful death and punitive damages.
The Legacy Conversation
The situation surrounding Angie Stone’s estate is a stark reminder of the vulnerability of artists’ families. While the children continue to fight for the royalties their mother was owed—and pursue accountability through the wrongful death lawsuit—selling the family home has become a necessary step to settle immediate debts.
As Diamond Stone and Michael Archer II navigate the complexities of preserving their mother’s legacy, their struggle has reignited a necessary conversation about how the music industry compensates veteran artists and protects their families after they are gone. The walls of that all-brick ranch hold decades of memories, but for now, the financial realities of the music business are forcing a bittersweet goodbye.
