Country superstar Carrie Underwood’s Tennessee farm isn’t the rustic paradise she envisioned as the songbird finds herself overwhelmed and exhausted by the property’s costs and demands on her limited time, sources say.

“It was total folly to have these 400 acres of land, chickens, horses, fruit trees, vegetable garden and greenhouse — and she’s realizing that now,” an insider confides to Globe.

A source who spoke with Star recently shared the same sentiment. “It’s become too much for her to maintain, and she’s getting no sleep because she’s up at the crack of dawn taking care of all these animals,” the source shared.

“She’s shoveling hay, weeding, fertilizing, harvesting, and then she’s in the kitchen making jams and pickling cucumbers,” the source told the outlet, noting the “Cry Pretty” singer is also encountering “repairs that never end.”

“The hours she spends over a hot stove are enough to singe her hair,” the Globe insider says. “Something is always breaking down — from farming equipment to appliances.”

According to the insider, Carrie, 42, has enlisted people to help but staffing is a “nightmare” and still requires her oversight. Meanwhile, her ex–hockey player husband, Mike Fisher, is busy being a hands-on dad to their two sons, Isaiah, 10, and Jacob, 6.

The American Idol winner turned judge bought the rural property in 2011 for $3 million with the former NHL jock, 45, and built the dream home where they’re raising their family.

The insider explains, “She once loved the idea of having a farm and had this romantic picture of how it would be — and it’s not that.”

Carrie wouldn’t dream of selling the place, says the insider, but “she’s tired of getting dirty and running from bee hives and other unforeseen occurrences.”

“When she’s on a break from touring, she wants to come home and relax, but she can’t do that,” adds the insider. “There’s too much to do.”
