Long before Dolly Parton became one of the most recognizable entertainers in the world, she and her husband, Carl Dean, were already planning a place where fame could not follow them.
In 1972, Parton and Dean purchased a sprawling 75-acre property in Brentwood, Tennessee, and eventually built a 23-room home known as Willow Lake Plantation. The estate became their private sanctuary for more than five decades, giving the couple a secluded space away from Parton's increasingly demanding public life.
