The Neighboring Homes Are On The Same Property, Sharing A View Off The Water
“You leave home, you move on, and you do the best you can … If I could walk around, I swear I’ll leave. Won’t take nothin’ but a memory from the house that built me.”
– Miranda Lambert’s “The House That Built Me”
It’s an important milestone for an artist to be able to truly support themselves off their creative work.
Last year, country star Ella Langley purchased her first home following the sudden success of her album Hungover.
21 years ago, Miranda Lambert was in the same position, purchasing her first home for herself after signing a record deal and releasing her studio debut album, Kerosene, in 2005.
Located in Lindale, Texas, which is about a 90-minute drive from Dallas, Miranda’s first home was purchased on the same property that her parents’ house is located on.
Now, Miranda and her parents have listed the 24.88-acre property containing both homes for sale, with an asking price of $1,585,900.

The “Big House” – About Miranda Lambert’s Parents’ Home
The first home on the Lindale property, known as the “big house,” was acquired by the Lambert family when Miranda was 14 years old, and it was her primary residence until she was 21 and purchased the adjacent home, known as the “pink house.”
“Until their transition out of the home about a year ago, the property served as the Lambert family home,” the property’s realtor, Lee Trowbridge, said in an interview with Mansion Global. “During their time living there, the property was a home to many, including those who needed a helping hand, or a place to land.”
This kindness reflects the Lambert family’s own past, struggling to make it by — even being homeless when Miranda was six years old, Realtor.com noted.
Built in 1923, the “big house” is described as a cottage, boasting hardwood flooring and built-in cabinetry with “vintage details that add character throughout,” the listing details.
According to Trowbridge, “This property’s biggest draw is its blend of country music history and its massive 2,500 square feet of outdoor living space. Between the vintage interior character and the practical additions like the shop and shooting range, the property offers a rare mix of cool factor and functional country living.”
That outdoor living space includes “covered and open areas, a brick courtyard, and an outdoor kitchen-providing ample room for hosting, gathering, or enjoying the setting.”
Further, the property includes “a metal warehouse, a shop with bathroom and living quarters, three RV hook-ups, open land suitable for a range of uses, and a designated 100 yard shooting range.”
The “Pink House” – About The First Home Miranda Lambert Purchased
Next to the “big house” is a smaller single detached farm home, known as the “pink house.”
It was here that Miranda Lambert took her earnings from her first studio record in 2005 and made a significant purchase at the start of her career in country music.
With the two homes being listed together, it is not entirely clear which property has which amenities, and the square footage is listed as a combined 4,643 square feet.
