Johnny Cash’s Former Florida Property Up For Grabs

PORT RICHEY, FL — Folks in the market for a waterfront property that has its own story to tell might find Johnny and June Cash’s former Port Richey spread hard to pass by. With a listing price of $894,950, the land was initially purchased by June’s father, Ezra “Pop” Carter, back in the mid-1960s to feed his passion for fishing during retirement.

“If you want a beautiful riverfront property that has a story and meaning to it, it’s hard to beat this one,” Allen Crumbley, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Properties Group broker/owner, said in a media release. “There isn’t another property in the area with ties to country music like this. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a rare piece of Pasco County’s history.”

The property, located on the banks of the Pithlachascotee River, includes a “retreat-style” home that was built in 2004. Although the home was technically built after both Johnny and June Carter Cash passed away, the home’s living room boasts the framed warranty deed John R. Cash and June Carter Cash signed when they inherited the property from Ezra Carter.
