The House Johnny Cash Built For His Son Is For Sale In Tennessee

This piece of history will cost you a cool $6.25 million.

Here’s your chance to own a one-of-kind piece of music history. A sprawling Tennessee estate originally built by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash for their only son, John Carter Cash, has hit the market.

Dogwood Estate sits on 21 densely wooded acres in Hendersonville and shares a driveway with Johnny and June’s legendary Sycamore Homestead compound, which is also currently for sale.

Located about 30 minutes outside of downtown Nashville atop one of Sumner County's highest elevations, the gated property was recently listed by Erin Krueger and Mary Spotts of Compass for $6.25 million.

Dogwood Estate, which also features a restored and updated 18th-century log cabin, was designed and built by Braxton Dixon, Nashville’s late “builder to the stars,” who previously designed Sycamore Homestead for the Cash family. Dogwood Estate was completed in 1987, when John was just a teenager. The future Grammy-winner eventually sold the property in 1993.

Highlights of the two-bedroom, three-bathroom main home include exposed wood walls, yellow heart pine floorboards, stained glass windows from Europe, Amish-built stone fireplaces, and 30-foot cathedral ceilings. Situated just above it is the historic Dixon Cabin, offering the ideal retreat for reading, writing, or relaxing.

“Each log that forms this estate carries the whispers of history, dating back to pre-Civil War times, a piece of the past woven into the fabric of your everyday life,” a statement from the listing agents boasts. “The home was painstakingly relocated from south of Nashville, using a structure originally dating to 1817 that was used as a hospital during the Civil War.”

John, 54, currently lives in Nashville with his family.
