Dolly Parton's former home in Solvang, California, is being offered for $1.995 million. The property sits in the center of the Danish-inspired town and combines three residences that the singer used as a private retreat.
The current co-owner, Cris Lapp, bought the property in 2022 for $1.367 million and put it back on the market in May 2026. Parton had purchased it in 2004 and sold it in 2014 for $940,000, according to The New York Times.
Interest increased after Parton's death on August 25, 2026, at age 80, in Nashville following a brief battle with cancer. Lapp told The New York Times that he received numerous inquiries from potential buyers after the news, although he had not accepted an offer. The property had already been available before her death.
The roughly quarter-acre property covers 2,510 square feet, or 233 square meters, across the three homes. Together, they contain seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. The main house has two floors and retains Solvang-style exterior features, including a white fence and a small windmill.
According to the New York Post, the house also preserves a space Parton used to store her wigs and a dressing room associated with her personal style. Its interior combines rustic details, carved woodwork and traditional-looking furniture. Lapp said a caretaker was instructed to put out fresh flowers and keep the refrigerator stocked with Spam when Parton arrived.
The grounds include a chapel-inspired bird structure, a dog area and other Danish-themed decorations. After buying the property, Lapp spent about $100,000 on renovations and converted the three residences into rental units, the New York Post reported.
