The late music legend purchased the property with her husband, Carl Dean, in the 1980s. It's now available for the first time in 25 years.
The former home of late music legend Dolly Parton is officially up for grabs, having just hit the market for $7.95 million in Los Angeles.
The country singer and her late husband, Carl Dean, purchased the Hollywood Hills residence in 1985 for $750,000, according to property records.
The couple later sold the home—now known as the Dolly Parton house—for $1.2 million in 1990.
The listing is held by Edward Tinney of Nourmand and Associates and states that the property has not been on the market for 25 years, although it has changed hands a few times since Parton called it home.
In recent years, the four-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom dwelling has been listed as a rental, asking as much as $28,800 a month at its price-tag peak in February 2021.
The 4,689 square foot home was built in 1977, and has undergone quite the transformation over the last four decades. According to the listing, it was actually “rebuilt in 2009” and has been further upgraded since.

The home is located at the end of a cul-de-sac. (Realtor.com) As one of 12 children in her family, the Tennesse-native grew up in a tiny Smoky Mountains cabin. A replica of the home still stands today at the Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, TN.
Over time, Parton would acquire a handful of properties across the United States, including the private marital estate she primarily resided in in Brentwood, TN, a Hollywood hideaway she held during the early ‘aughts, and a mini compound in the Danish-inspired town of Solvang, CA.
The “9 to 5” singer was also a quiet champion for housing, contributing lifelong efforts to provide safe housing to those in need.
In 2025, she partnered with Mötley Crüe to donate to Covenant House, an organization dedicated to providing shelter and support to youths experiencing homelessness.
In 2023, she donated one of her personal properties—an Idyllwild, CA, cabin—to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California to be used by families of children undergoing treatment for “serious medical conditions.”

"I just give from my heart," Parton said in 2022, when she accepted the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy. "I never know what I’m going to do or why I’m gonna do it. I just see a need and if I can fill it, then I will."
"Dolly worked up until the day she died. She loved seeing her dreams come to life, and loved knowing her work brought people joy," her longtime manager, Danny Nozell, said in a statement shared with Realtor.com®.
