John Carter Cash’s Iconic Dogwood Estate Tennessee Estate Is Up For Grabs

Create your own family history at John Carter Cash’s iconic Dogwood Estate, originally built for him by his famous parents, Johnny and June Carter Cash.

If you’re looking for a property where your family can flourish for generations, it’s worth considering a place in Tennessee that’s already home to legendary history: Dogwood Estate on Cash Mountain. This gated 20-acre site, nestled atop one of Sumner County’s highest elevations, is a living testament to the heart and soul of country music history. It was originally built for country singer, songwriter, and producer John Carter Cash by his very famous parents, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. Fun fact, it’s actually located down the street from Johnny and June’s estate, which is also currently on the market.

The two-bedroom, three-bathroom house was designed by Braxton Dixon, a noted Tennessee-based master builder responsible for a number of compounds belonging to country luminaries, including Tammy Wynette, Roy Orbison, and yes, Johnny and June. Dixon was known for his attention to details, and this residence doesn’t disappoint. There are a number of stunning elements throughout the home such as a large living area with a 30-foot cathedral ceiling, yellow heart pine floors, rustic wood logged walls, stained-glass windows sourced in Europe, and Amish-built stone fireplaces.

In addition to the main house, there’s also Dixon Cabin, a structure that dates back to 1789. With a downstairs area that includes plenty of room for working, reading, or taking in the views and an upstairs loft area made for rest and relaxation, it’s the ideal spot for guest quarters or an artist’s retreat.

Hendersonville is located only 30 minutes from downtown Nashville, and it’s been home to people you may have heard of — Conway Twitty, Kelly Clarkson, and one Taylor Swift. So this is the perfect place if you have loved ones who have musical aspirations or you all simply want to experience the excitement of Music City offers without sacrificing the joys that come with country life.
