A three-unit property once owned by Dolly Parton in Solvang, California, is now for sale at $1.995 million, according to property records, as the 1920s farmhouse, located at 561 Alisal Road, was her weekend retreat from 2004 to 2014.

Charming Setting and Architectural Details

Parton’s former home is in the heart of Solvang, a Danish immigrant-founded town known for its European-style architecture and cultural preservation; the property includes a main residence and two apartments, totaling about 2,500 square feet on a quarter-acre lot. The front home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the rear includes a three-bedroom, two-bath apartment and a one-bedroom unit.

The property is described as an “eccentric little compound,” with unique features like a stained-glass panel above the front door that reads “Dolly” beneath a yellow butterfly. A miniature windmill and tulip-shaped wooden sculptures also grace the yard; the home retains privacy features and subtle nods to Parton’s ownership.

Historic Location and Investment Potential

Solvang, established in 1911 by Danish immigrants, maintains a nostalgic, almost film-set feel, complete with half-timbered facades, windmills, and Danish pastries in the windows. The property offers a rare opportunity to live in a celebrity-owned home while also serving as a potential investment, as the listing allows for rental income from the two apartments.

According to the listing agent, Cris Lapp of Black Oak Land & Capital, the property is both charming and practical; the house has a cozy, weekend retreat vibe, and its price is considered surprisingly reasonable for a celebrity home, especially in a prime location. The property’s blend of historical charm and potential income streams adds to its appeal.

Parton’s Health and the Sale

Parton purchased the property through Dolly Parton Enterprises in 2004 and lived there for a decade; she sold the home in 2014 and has not lived there since. Her health scare in 2025, where she postponed concerts in Las Vegas, raised concerns among fans. In a post on Instagram, she assured followers that she was fine but acknowledged neglecting her own health after the long illness and death of her husband, Carl Dean. She added, “I haven’t died yet!”

Though the health scare appears to be resolved, the sale of her former Solvang home marks another chapter in Parton’s real estate history. The property now stands as a small but distinctive piece of her legacy, available for purchase by those who want to own a piece of her world.
