Johnny and June lived at 200 Caudill Drive in Hendersonville, Tennessee, 37075, but unfortunately the house no longer stands. It was lost to a fire in 2007 during renovations under the ownership of Barry Gibb, who is a member of the Bee Gees.
The Cash house on Old Hickory Lake was constructed in 1967 by famed architect Braxton Dixon (1921-2017). Dixon had been working on the house for himself, but Cash’s relentlessness persuaded Dixon to sell the house to Cash in 1968. The house was 13,880 square feet with 7 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms situated on a 4.6 acre lot. It’s unique design allowed for it to have 4 round rooms, providing maximum views of Old Hickory Lake.
Notable guests such as Marty Stuart (who was previously Johnny’s son-in-law), Billy Graham, Bob Dylan, President Jimmy Carter, President Ronald Reagan, and Vice President Al Gore are just a few famous faces who stopped by to visit with the Cash family.
It is also rumored that in 1969, musician Kris Kristofferson was so eager to grab Cash’s attention that he landed a helicopter on Cash’s property to present Cash with his demo, “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down.”
One of the last music videos that Johnny ever made, a cover of “Hurt” that had originally been recorded by Nine Inch Nails, was filmed in his Hendersonville house on Old Hickory Lake. You can view the “Hurt” video here.
