See Inside Country Singers' Most Historic Homes [Pictures]

Country music has a long and rich history, and some of that history is documented in homes that have become a part of the fabric of country music. Some of country music's most famous artists have bought historic homes, while others lived in houses that became historic because of their famous residents.

The list of country stars' most historic homes leans heavily on artists from the classic era, including Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and more.

Those artists have all left some stunning homes as part of their legend, but a few more contemporary country stars also reside in historic homes.

Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and more are also among the country singers who've lived in historic homes. Check them out in the photos below.

Kenny Rogers developed a taste for fine living early in his success. His ultra-lavish mansion in Bel Air, Calif., an estate called Lionsgate, was opulent even by celebrity standards. The 11-bedroom, 17-bathroom home totals 23,988 square feet of space, and it sits on 1.63 acres of some of the most expensive real estate in California.

The lavish interior includes a master suite that encompasses more than 3,000 square feet, three separate living rooms, seven fireplaces, a billiards room, a formal study, a private 12-seat theater with leather seats, a climate-controlled wine room that opens onto a saltwater pool, three steam showers and a large dry sauna. The property also features an outdoor glass elevator that leads to a large ballroom party space with an attached guest suite and a professional-sized gym.

The exterior of the house is just as lavish, including an outdoor living area with heated floors and a fully equipped bar, a tennis court with stadium lighting and a viewing area, a hot tub and extensive landscaping. Realtor.com calls Lionsgate the "most prestigious luxury estate" in Bel Air, boasting "possibly the best views in Los Angeles."

According to Business Insider, Rogers purchased the estate in the 1970s, and he added the lions to the gate and christened the home Lionsgate. He sold it in 1983 for $5.8 million, according to Variety, and the property most recently sold in 2015 for a staggering $46.25 million.
