Remains Of Johnny Cash’s Hendersonville Home For Sale
Johnny Cash
The lakefront property in Hendersonville, Tennessee, where Johnny Cash and wife June Carter Cash resided for more than three decades is on the market, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The property was home to the Cash family from 1968 until their deaths in 2003. Their home was destroyed by fire in 2007, leaving only the stone foundation and a few walls. The 4 1/2 acre property now houses a one-bedroom apartment that was created in an outbuilding where Cash and Carter used to store costumes. According to listing agent Stan Peacock of Crye-Leike Realtors, a swimming pool, tennis court, garage and guard house escaped the fire, as well as a stone walkway leading to a covered boat dock.
Seller James Gresham has not specified an asking price for the property, and says prefers to sell to a buyer who will preserve the legacy of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. “In my mind it would be some person [who] is a huge Johnny Cash fan,” he told the Wall Street Journal.
Gresham bought the estate for $2 million in 2014 from Barry Gibb, of the pop group the Bee Gees, and his wife, Linda. The Gibbs were in the process of restoring it when the fire broke out.
