Never again will you find an opportunity to own a property so deeply woven into the fabric of American music history. Welcome to Sycamore Homestead, the private estate of famed master builder Braxton Dixon, best known as the “builder for the stars.” This extraordinary compound once served as the home of Johnny Cash, crafted with Dixon’s signature artistry and attention to historic preservation.
Nestled on nearly six secluded acres in scenic Hendersonville, Tennessee, this property is a living testament to the craftsmanship and creative vision of a man who built homes for country music legends including Johnny and June Carter Cash, Roy Orbison, Donna Fargo, Don Pierce (president of Starday Records), Fred Foster (president of Monument Records), and Marty Stuart and Connie Smith, among many others.
The compound includes a main residence, two guest homes, a barn, a tea room, and a smokehouse, all carefully constructed or reconstructed from pre–Civil War log structures relocated to this property. Every detail of Sycamore Homestead reflects Dixon’s reverence for history and hand craftsmanship—from the slate floors mined directly from the site, to the massive timbers joined with blacksmith-forged nails.
Each building carries its own story, with rich textures of natural wood, stone, and ironwork coming together to form a timeless sanctuary. The property’s design embodies the rustic yet soulful aesthetic Dixon became famous for—an organic blend of art, architecture, and country music lore.
Sycamore Homestead is not just a home; it’s a piece of American cultural history, waiting for a visionary new owner to restore it to its former glory. Secluded, soulful, and steeped in legend, this estate calls out to those who dare to dream—an artist, a preservationist, or a lover of history ready to carry on its extraordinary legacy.
