First Look at Dolly’s Former Home

Located just blocks from Solvang’s shops, restaurants, tasting rooms, and Danish-inspired architecture, the property sits on a prominent corner lot.

A miniature windmill beside the front residence nods to Solvang’s Scandinavian roots, while a plaque along the white picket fence acknowledges the home’s celebrity past.

Iconic Wig Room

One of the most iconic features is the preserved “Wig Room” tucked inside the garage. The small space is reportedly inspired by the larger wig-storage area at Parton’s Tennessee estate and remains one of the property’s most talked-about details.

Inside The Triplex

Another unique aspect of this property is that it’s configured as a triplex. The front home contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the rear structures include an upper three-bedroom residence and a separate lower one-bedroom unit.

Here’s a closer look at some of the spots inside the home.

Living Room

While modest in scale compared to many celebrity homes, this living room reflects the understated charm found throughout Dolly Parton’s former Solvang getaway.

Currently, it’s designed with a Persian-style area rug that lies beneath a light-colored sofa and glass-topped tables.

Kitchen

The kitchen continues the home’s lived-in character, favoring practicality over luxury finishes with classic oak cabinetry.

A professional-style gas range is accompanied by space for everyday appliances, while the open countertop is reserved for cooking essentials and fresh produce.

Bedrooms

Heading into the private spaces, two of the home’s bedrooms offer a closer look at the sleeping accommodations and the property’s potential to be used as a rental space.

The first bedroom has a cottage-like feel, centered around a white metal bed frame dressed in crisp white bedding, with a connected en-suite bathroom.

The second bedroom has a more contemporary look with a gray platform bed, neutral bedding, and minimalist furnishings.

A ceiling fan provides additional comfort, while windows on two sides of the room bring in natural light and views of the palm trees outside.

Outdoor Space

Outside, each residence on the property benefits from its own private outdoor space as well as separate utility meters, adding flexibility for owners, whether the property is used as a primary residence, long-term rental, or investment opportunity.

Tree Covered Deck

One outdoor space features a sizable wood deck beneath the trees’ shade. String lighting stretches overhead, while a dining table and seating areas create a casual setting for outdoor meals and gatherings.

Private Side Yard

Another private yard offers a more secluded space for lounging or gardening with decomposed granite ground bordered by mature shrubs and trees.

Final Thoughts on Dolly’s Former Home

Listing agent and owner Cris Lapp has expressed hope that the property will ultimately be purchased by a devoted Dolly Parton fan who will appreciate and preserve the many traces of the singer’s ownership that remain throughout the home.

Beyond its connection to one of country music’s most beloved stars, the property also stands out as a functioning investment asset, currently generating approximately $116,000 in annual gross income.

Therefore, its blend of rental income, celebrity history, and location in the heart of Solvang makes it an attractive opportunity for a potential buyer to own a piece of Dolly Parton history in California’s famed Danish-inspired town.
