Dolly Parton’s $180m Tennessee real estate portfolio revealed
DOLLY Parton may have famously humble beginnings, but her jaw-dropping real estate portfolio in Tennessee now adds up to approximately $180 million.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal that Dolly’s stunning property acquisition in her beloved home state has reached eye-watering proportions.
The beloved country crooner is now celebrating her 80th birthday after coping with health issues over the past several months.
While the Jolene singer takes it easy this birthday, she at least has plenty of room and lots of fresh air, especially in her sprawling main Tennessee home in the suburbs of Nashville, worth a stunning $10.3 million.
Dolly’s massive estate property has over 8,000 square feet and is situated on a 60-acre lot.
The Nine to Five singer’s home has a pool, a pool house, a guest house and a large garage.
It also features several barns and even a chapel.
She purchased the property back in 1997.
Right next door is another property belonging to the singer, where her parents used to live, which she purchased in 1999.
That home is worth $1.5 million
The property is also expansive, with over 5,000 square feet to the main home which sits on two acres.
When Dolly wants an even quieter time, she can take a 45-minute drive to another of her stunning Tennessee properties, with her beautiful home on the waters of the Cumberland River.
There, Dolly has a pool with river views, a pool house and a private dock with a boathouse.
According to records, she purchased the property in 2018, and it appears she hasn’t done much structurally to the home since the initial purchase.
Estimates for similar homes nearby are priced around $1.5 million.
She also owns several plots of land in Tennessee, which add up to around $300k worth of property.
However, by far, the largest asset in Dolly’s property portfolio is her amusement park, Dollywood, of which she is said to own a 50% share.
The massive amusement park, which also features several resorts on the premises, is worth an estimated $330 million.
Even more special, the park generates significant local economic impact, with estimates around $1.8 billion annually for her beloved home state of Tennessee.
DOLLY RUSHED TO HOSPITAL
Dolly’s health problems have overshadowed her birthday celebrations this year.
Last fall she was rushed to the hospital.
After her sister, Freida, posted she had been up all night praying for Dolly, the star was forced to take to social media to tell the world she was not dead.
Dolly said: “I’m not ready to die yet.
“I don’t think God is through with me. And I ain’t done working.”
She had to back out of her Vegas residency in September.
The following week, she missed her induction into the IAAPA’s Hall of Fame for her Tennessee theme park, Dollywood.
Instead, she sent a video message to explain her absence.
“Well hey there, it’s Dolly,” she began.
“And I sure wish I could be with you in person today, but you probably heard that I’ve been dealing with a few health challenges this fall, and my doctors told me to take it easy for just a little while.”
Her health has also sidelined her from attending events at her beloved Grand Ole Opry.
Earlier this month, Dolly announced she would not be attending her 80th birthday celebration at the Grand Ole Opry.
In September of last year, Dolly cancelled dates in her Las Vegas residency, citing health challenges.
She rescheduled those dates to September 2026.
