Don't let Kid Rock lie about coming "straight out of the trailer" (PHOTO)

Rock and rap music stars invariably had gritty childhoods in big cities and then overcame their needy childhoods, right? Well, not in this case. . .

Although his debut album, entitled "Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast," paints word pictures of a rough-and-tumble lifestyle, Kid Rock, now 45, grew up amid affluence as the son of the presumed sellers of the house, former auto dealer Bill Ritchie, now 75.

Online public records show the current owner is William R. Ritchie, who also owns a home in celebrity-studded Jupiter Island, Fla., where singer Celine Dion and pro golfer Tiger Woods also have homes.

The four-bedroom, four-bath, neo-Georgian colonial house is steps away from a private stable with two horse stalls and a tack room, a tennis court, and the estate sports the name “Apple Crest Farm,” Milstein said.

“Isn’t that gorgeous? That’s what everyone calls this property,” she said, which is zoned to allow three horses. It went on the market Tuesday, Milstein said, adding: “I’ve never seen so many (Internet) hits on a listing.”

He built a career on the myth that he came out of the trailer park.
