I knew I was about to experience something special as I drove up the long driveway toward the iconic house at 8736 Nye Road in Casitas Springs last month. Already sworn to secrecy about this upcoming iconic house listing, I could feel the spirit of “The Man in Black” as I approached.
Johnny Cash built the 4,500-square-foot home in 1961 as an escape from the raucous fame of his rock ’n’ roll lifestyle. He and his wife Vivian envisioned the rural estate — tucked in the hills between Ventura and Ojai — as a serene getaway for them and their three daughters for many years to come.
