Growing up in a one-room cabin in Pittman, Tennessee, Dolly Parton headed for the bright lights of Nashville at age 18. As fate would have it, she would find the love of her life on her very first day there. After meeting Carl Dean, then 21, at the Wishy Washy Laundromat, the pair married two years later in Ringgold, Georgia. They remained steadfastly in love (and fiercely private) for nearly 60 years until Dean\u2019s death on March 3 at age 82. Now, one of the places where they shared that love is back on the market.<\/p>\n
Living primarily on an expansive Nashville estate, Dolly Parton and her husband, Carl Dean, also owned a remote mountainside cabin in Idyllwild, California. Believed to have purchased the property in December 1994 for just $126,000, Dolly\u00a0donated the cabin\u00a0to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California in November 2023.<\/p>\n
In July 2024, the charity sold the home for $585,00. Just eight months later, it has returned to the market, this time for $768,000.<\/p>\n
