Ever since winning American Idol in 2005, Carrie Underwood has become a household name, shooting to superstar status in the music world.
And after taking home the title all those years ago, it was only natural Underwood would make the move to Nashville to pursue her country music dreams. Of course with humble roots and a down-to-earth nature, she did so with a modest home that might not be quite what you’d expect from someone as famous as she is.

The year she won Idol, Underwood purchased a 2,956-square foot home in the Nashville suburb of Franklin, Tennessee, selling the house after listing it for $419,900 in 2011 and dropping the price to $372,500. In 2007, she bought another home in the suburb of Brentwood for $1.353 million, so she didn’t seem to stay in the Franklin home for too long.
In 2011, Underwood purchased 400 acres of land in a Nashville suburb with husband Mike Fisher before building a home on the property, where they now live with their son, Isaiah.
