Dolly Parton’s Hollywood Hills Home Lists at $7.95M
A Hollywood Hills home once owned by the late Dolly Parton has listed for $7.95 million, marking the property’s first time on the market in 25 years. The country music icon and her husband, Carl Dean, originally acquired the residence in 1985 for $750,000 and later sold it in 1990 for $1.2 million, according to listing records and property data.
The property, commonly known as the Dolly Parton House, underwent a complete rebuild in 2009 and has since received additional upgrades, as detailed in the listing. Spanning nearly 4,700 square feet, the home boasts a spacious living and dining room area with floor-to-ceiling windows that provide panoramic views across the cityscape towards the distant Pacific Ocean. Inside, the residence features a well-appointed library, a state-of-the-art media room, a comfortable family room, and an eat-in kitchen that combines functionality with modern design. The primary suite includes a coffee bar, a cozy fireplace, two bathrooms, a flexible space suitable for an office or gym, a walk-in closet, and a private deck that offers seclusion and comfort.
The estate’s outdoor amenities include a resort-style pool and spa, along with multiple areas designed for outdoor dining and entertaining, a two-car garage, EV charging infrastructure, and a serene Zen trail for peaceful walks. The current seller, who could not be reached for comment at the time of the listing, originally acquired the home for $2.05 million in 2001. The listing is managed by Edward Tinney of Nourmand & Associates and Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency.
Parton, who passed away on August 25 at the age of 80 after a long battle with cancer, was a prolific recording artist whose career spanned several decades. She released an impressive 50 studio albums and earned a total of 27 gold and platinum certifications for her work. Beyond her music career, she starred in memorable films such as “9 to 5,” “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” and “Steel Magnolias.” In addition to her entertainment endeavors, Parton was a dedicated philanthropist, most notably behind the Imagination Library, which has distributed over 200 million books to children around the globe. In 2020, she contributed $1 million to Vanderbilt University to support early-stage research into Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine.
