A historic property that was once home to the iconic Dolly Parton is back on the real estate market. This cabin, located in Idyllwild, California, was owned by the singer for several decades and is now available for $770,000.
The announcement comes shortly after the death of Carl Dean, her husband of nearly 60 years. The current owner purchased it last summer for $585,000, an amount that was donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California, an organization to which Parton had transferred the property in 2023.
The sale of Dolly Parton’s property
Real estate agents in charge of the sale highlight the unique connection the property has with the famous singer: "The former refuge of Dolly Parton in Idyllwild! If the walls could sing, this charming 3-story mountain retreat would hum a country melody. This house has as much character as the Queen of Country herself."
A corner full of character and serenity
Built in the 1960s and surrounded by nature, the cabin sits on a 0.27-acre lot. With a wooden design that stands out for its rustic style, the property features 1,800 square feet distributed among three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a foyer, living room, dining room, kitchen, and laundry room. According to the sales listing, “almost all decorative elements were placed by Dolly,” making it a unique opportunity to own a home that reflects her warmth, charm, and distinctive style.
The natural environment surrounding the property makes it an ideal place for those looking to escape the city noise. In addition to its cozy interiors, the cabin offers spacious terraces, allowing guests to enjoy the peace of the outdoors, surrounded by trees and nature, as if the house were literally embedded in the landscape.
