Dolly Parton's Nashville Home Sells For Significant Profit

A Nashville home that Dolly Parton and her husband Carl Dean once owned has sold for a whopping profit. This charming residence, nestled in suburban Nashville, was owned by the iconic country star and her partner from 1980 until 1996. The couple sold the 4,795-square-foot house for $140,000, a price that seems modest compared to its most recent sale. While it may not be the extravagant mansion one might expect from a celebrity of Parton’s stature, this two-story home holds a unique place in the tapestry of country music history.

Fast forward to December 2021, when the property finally sold for $849,000 after being on and off the market for an extensive 12 years. Built in 1941, this home features four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a beautifully wooded, gated 2.4-acre lot that also houses a detached storage building. The stucco structure boasts many amenities, including an eat-in kitchen, a carport, and a wonderful great room that can accommodate gatherings and celebrations.

Over the years, this residence has transformed significantly. In later years, the upstairs was opened as a bed-and-breakfast known as Dolly's Retreat, offering guests a taste of the home’s rich history. The detached studio on the property became a hub for an online business, showcasing the versatility of this space. Interestingly, marketing materials from 2019 suggested that the studio could serve multiple purposes, from hosting weddings to serving as a small museum dedicated to Dolly Parton.
