Singer Nick Carter of the pop group the Backstreet Boys and his parents, Robert and Jane Carter, have purchased a 10,000-square-foot home on 100 acres in the Santa Ynez Valley for $3.3 million.

The family, which also has a home on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, recently settled into their Santa Ynez Valley residence, which they bought in the fall. The singer, 20, has been on the road and in other states most recently.

Since the quintet was formed in 1993, the group became the world's biggest-selling boy band in 1999 with its album "Millennium."

Built about nine years ago, the Santa Ynez Valley home has a small lake, swimming pool, tennis court, barn and guest apartment.

Diana Anderson of Fred Sands, Santa Ynez Valley, had the listing, and Diane Sanders of Re/Max, Palos Verdes, represented the Carters.
