About this House

Historic Significance Meets Rustic Charm: A Slice of Johnny Cash's Legacy in Ventura.Perched above the serene Casitas Springs area of Ventura, CA, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of music history. Once part of the legendary Johnny Cash estate, where the iconic musician sought refuge from his hectic rock 'n roll lifestyle. Johnny and his then-wife Vivian called this land home from 1961 to 1967, imbuing it with a rich musical legacy.This property comprises the lower 2.61 acres of the original 8.5-acre estate. While it does not include the original main house built by Johnny and Vivian, which sold separately in 2022, the property was an integral part of their expansive ranchland, offering breathtaking views of the Ventura River Valley and Ojai Valley, surrounded by picturesque mountains and foothills.The parcel features two distinct houses which were built after Cash sold the land:The Upper House: Built in 1988, this two-story structure boasts 1,234 square feet of living space with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.The Lower House: Constructed in 2000, this single-story house includes 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, and 718 square feet of comfortable living space, perfect for guests or as a rental opportunity. It also offers a substantial 594 square foot garage or workshop, ideal for a studio, hobbies, or storage.The property sits on a lot that features enough gently sloped and flat areas to provide potential for new construction or expansions to tailor it to your dreams. Zoned as Rural Exclusive, it allows for various rural uses, including keeping animals, making it a perfect setting for those looking to embrace a country lifestyle.Majestic California Black Walnut trees dot the landscape, and the remote feel of the property is complemented by abundant wildlife and the tranquility of nature, offering a true sanctuary.Overlooking the quaint village of Casitas Springs, the property is conveniently positioned with easy access to Ojai to the north and Ventura with its beautiful beaches to the south, combining secluded living with accessibility to local amenities.This property is not just a home; it's a testament to a historical era and a chance to live in a place where music and tranquility meet. Embrace the opportunity to make a piece of music history your own and create new memories in this picturesque Ventura haven.PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB OCCUPANTS. SHOWINGS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
