"Outside, on the fence of the private home, is another sign, with another butterfly: 'Former home of Dolly Parton, Singer, Actress & American Icon.' For longtime fans of Dolly Parton, there are other clues that the singer once owned the unassuming white house, built circa 1920. The driveway is unusually large, long enough to hold the RV that has been her preferred mode of travel for decades."
"Real estate developer Cris Lapp, a pandemic transplant from Southern California to Santa Ynez Valley, purchased the property in 2022 for around $1.3 million. Today, it's three standalone long-term rentals: the three-bedroom main house, a three-bedroom apartment over the garage and a one-bedroom unit in the same building. The main house was off limits to everyone except Parton and her longtime best friend/assistant Judy Ogle; the apartments were for her crew."
"The garage also held a wig room - a modest departure from the entire barn devoted to Parton's wigs that she has at her compound in Brentwood, Tennessee."
A small white farmhouse built around 1920 at the intersection of Alisal Road and Maple Avenue in Solvang, California, was once owned by country music icon Dolly Parton. The property features distinctive elements reflecting Parton's lifestyle, including an unusually large driveway to accommodate her tour RV and a birdhouse replica of Dollywood's chapel. Real estate developer Cris Lapp purchased the property in 2022 for approximately $1.3 million and converted it into three separate long-term rental units: a three-bedroom main house, a three-bedroom apartment above the garage, and a one-bedroom unit. The main residence was reserved exclusively for Parton and her longtime assistant Judy Ogle, while the apartments housed her crew. A wig room in the garage reflected Parton's famous collection.
