FUN FACTS & PRESS
Cash Mountain Ranch is NOT a Johnny Cash-themed home—it is the actual home Johnny and Vivian Cash personally designed and built in 1960. Often referred to as "California's Graceland," this remarkable estate has been lovingly preserved and is now open to guests for the first time in its history.
The ranch has been featured in numerous publications, including:
• Atomic Ranch Magazine — "California's Graceland"
• Pasadena Magazine — "West Coast Graceland"
• Ojai Magazine — "The House That Cash Built"
• AARP Magazine — "Sleep Where Legends Lived"
• Westways AAA Magazine — "Cash Digs"
* Ojai Mag & News " Cash Mountain Ranch"
Welcome to Cash Mountain Ranch, the historic estate custom designed and built by Johnny and Vivian Cash in 1960. Recently preserved and thoughtfully restored, the ranch honors Johnny's artistic vision, creative spirit, and family legacy while offering modern comforts for today's guests.
Nestled on 6 private acres between Ojai and Ventura 6-miles either way a snap to Ocean or Mountains , this 5,000-square-foot estate features two original primary suites, glamorous vintage-inspired décor, and the home's iconic gold glitter ceilings. The original wood-paneled music studio, where Johnny penned many of his songs, now serves as a unique office and creative retreat.
Outside, guests can enjoy sweeping 360-degree mountain and valley views, a pool and spa, western-style poolside bar, and a spectacular outdoor dining table that seats up to 25 guests. The property's beloved historic BBQ area overlooks the valley and was a favorite gathering place where Johnny grilled for family and friends.
The ranch is also home to friendly farm animals, including ostriches, goats, sheep, and pigs, creating a one-of-a-kind experience that blends music history, ranch life, and the natural beauty of Ojai.
Whether you're seeking a memorable family gathering, creative retreat, special celebration, or simply a chance to experience a legendary piece of American music history, Cash Mountain Ranch offers an unforgettable stay.
