Johnny Cash’s California Home

Johnny Cash often sang about the hills and flowers and wide-open spaces, and he lived it too. In 1961, Johnny built a 4,500-square-foot home in rural Casitas Springs, California as his quiet place to escape from the rock ‘n roll lifestyle. A place he and his wife, Vivian, and their three daughters could enjoy family life in the hills for many years into the future. While their future did not pan out exactly as Johnny planned – he and Vivian divorced in 1966 – the home was exactly what John envisioned.

According to the listing agents, “Johnny bought the land and built the house to his exact specifications; walking the rooms and deciding on exact placement and layout. Johnny Cash’s California home serves as an icon not just for music enthusiasts but also for those with an eye on premium real estate. If this intriguing mix of music and real estate inspires you to start a business in the Golden State, forming an LLC, or Limited Liability Company, is a popular first step. To understand the process better, here’s a guide on how to create an llc in california, providing you with the right framework to embark on your California business journey.

The double-gabled house is set on nearly six acres, dramatically set among Johnny’s beloved hills, fields, trees and flowers, at the end of a long, private driveway. John’s ideas are still very much a part of the home, including the country-motif family room and curved brick fireplace, custom wood built-ins, and an original wall-mounted turntable.  The wood-panelled studio where Johnny wrote many of his songs is preserved. And the two his-and-her master bedroom suites because of Johnny’s night-owl routine of writing music late into the night and early morning.

The property includes five bedrooms, a pool, office, barbecue area, and sweeping views of the Ojai Valley, oak trees and evergreens and year-round flowers.

Johnny Cash’s former home is for sale at $1.795 million listed with Adam McKaig and Melissa Borders from Douglas Elliman.
