It’s no secret that some country stars choose to really live it up after they achieve success, building staggeringly huge and expensive homes to rival anything a Hollywood movie star would dream of living in. But some country singers keep it unpretentious, opting instead for the simple life in charming homes that are more in line with good old country values.
Classic-era country stars including Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and Loretta Lynn are among the country singers with the most charming homes, but they’re certainly not alone.
The late Naomi Judd‘s former home is also among the houses on the list, as well as Trisha Yearwood‘s elegant, Southern-style home. While both are very upscale, they still retain a simple, homespun charm.
