Reba McEntire has a hit song titled “Fancy,” and it could also be the theme song for her taste in real estate. The flame-haired country icon has a taste for extremely high-end living — but she’s far from the only country singer living the high life.

Alan Jackson also has upper-crust taste in expensive homes. He owned a jaw-dropping Southern antebellum mansion that was based on Tara in Gone With the Wind before he sold it off in one of the biggest real estate transactions in Nashville history. After that, he and his family moved to an even more staggering hilltop estate in one of the most exclusive parts of Music City.

Kenny Rogers and Ray Stevens are two more of country’s old guard who’ve owned some truly elegant estates over the years, but fancy homes are not just for country’s older legends.
