Johnny Cash's home for sale: 13,880 sq. ft., last listed at $595K, "make an offer"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

One of the most famous homes in country music — or any musical genre, given the reach of Johnny Cash's career — was the home of Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash.

The property at 200 Claudill Drive in Hendersonville, Tenn. — which figured in the award-winning Cash biopic, "Walk The Line" — was the Cash family's home for nearly all of their 35-year marriage. The massive, 13,880-square-foot home, runs along on Old Hickory Lake. What is less known, however, is that Cash wound up living in the house he owned across the street at 185 Claudill Drive. The ranch home was built by the same architect, Braxton Dixon, and Cash had used it to house his own parents prior to their passing.

"He spent his last days there after it was harder for him to get around in a wheelchair in lake house,'' said Stan Peacock, whose father-in-law the — a former Grand Ole Opry musician — bought the house from the Cash family in 2004.

The ranch house, which was always referred to as "Mama Cash's house" because it was where Cash's mother lived, has been listed for sale on and off since 2009. It was last listed for $595,000. While it is not officially on the market right now, Peacock with Crye-Leike Realtors in Hendersonville said interested buyers could reach out to him.

2. Nearly 14,000 sq ft for 600k?

The regional variation in home values is rather stunning.

5. hendersonville is a suburb of Nashville

Nashville has spread out to meet it.

If you price homes in other parts of Nashville, they would go for a lot more.

Location, location...

6. Doesn't look like 14k square feet to me.

Maybe that's the lot size.

8. It must be the angle of the photo

According to Zillow the lot is 1 acre.

7. The much smaller "mom" house goes for $595,000, I believe.

This is a picture of the 14,000 sq ft deal



If I were younger maybe it would look less ostentatious.

That reminds me. They say Graceland was always packed with hangers on. How would you like to find 50 strangers in your living room each day? Richard Burton solved the hangers on problem by actually living in an apartment across the street from his official address. I bet Johnny Cash spent a lot of time in the "mom" house trying to escape his own hangers on.

12. I stand corrected. But I still believe it's the "mom" house going for $595K.

13. It is the "Mama Cash" house for sale

He lived in that house at the end of his life. The lake house that was his has since caught fire and burned to the ground.

14. Thanks. The lake house had "Johnny Cash" written all over it. Down home. Not ostentatious.

[virgogal]

3. I don't get the low price-----and no,I'm not kidding.

[Raine]

4. I'm suprised the price isn't higher

ordinary tract houses here in CA go for more than that.

10. It's not for the 13,880 sq. ft house

It's for the ranch house across the street.

[Raine]

16. Oh OK ... THANKS!

[Son of Gob]

17. No problemo

[bluedigger]

11. I can see why.

It's an overbuilt rancher, too close to the highway, on the wrong side of town.

[provis99]

15. the headline is wrong. You need to change it.

18. I just want to correct some of the speculation

because I grew up here in Nashville and I drove by Johnny and June Cash's house many times.

First of all, Hendersonville is in Sumner County, Northeast of Metro Nashville/Davidson County. It does border Nashville, most of the "rich" plots are on Old Hickory Lake. But there are lots of "old farm houses" still left in Sumner county. I don't doubt that the house in question was Cash's Mother's house.

I used to drive by the Johnny and June Carter Cash house in East Nashville all the time. A large Ranch house, the only distinguishing feature being it's large driveway.

No big deal.
