The house Johnny Cash’s parents lived in until their death is for sale on eBay. The seller claims that by buying the house you are buying a piece of country music history.

According to the eBay blurb, “The beautiful sprawling home with 310 feet of frontage facing Old Hickory Lake has lighted stone pillars with four rail thoroughbred fencing. A horseshoe drive leads up to the estate.

There is also an additional driveway for RV/Bus Parking. The home sits across the street from the lot of the famous Johnny and June Carter Cash mansion, which is now owned by Barry Gibb of the world renowned Bee Gees. Neighboring the home is the former home place of the legendary Roy Orbison, which is next door to entertainers Marty Stuart and Connie Smith.

This four bedroom, three bath home overlooks the spectacular Old Hickory Lake. The home also contains a small recording studio. Other features include a beamed vaulted ceiling in the living room and a huge stone fireplace. The large kitchen still has the built in unique appliances that Mama Cash cooked on. The large two car carport is also used as a patio overlooking the gorgeous lake”.
