A sprawling Tennessee estate built by Johnny Cash for his son, John Carter Cash, which includes a 235-year-old cabin could be yours for a cool $6.25 million.

The property, at 3120 New Hope Road in Hendersonville, Tennessee, spans 20 acres of tree-covered, rolling land, also home to a cabin known as the Dixon Cabin that dates back to 1789 — the year George Washington was sworn in as the first. President of the United States.

The main home offers two bedrooms and three bathrooms across 4,300 square feet of living space.

Known as the Dogwood Estate, the property was gifted by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash to the country star’s only son and the couple’s only biological child together in the 1980s.

The main house was completed in 1987.

The famous couple commissioned builder-to-Nashville’s stars Braxton Dixon to design and bring the home to life.

In the 80s, the younger Cash was just a teenager who wanted to continue in his parents’ legendary footsteps in the music industry.

Eventually, the son, now 54, became a singer-songwriter as well as a Grammy-winning producer, working on albums with the likes of his own mother (who won a Grammy in 2000), Sheryl Crow, Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, Elvis Costello and Emmylou Harris, among other greats.

The location of the Dogwood Estate was hardly arbitrary.

The elder Cashes had long owned a nearby site, a six-structure compound also managed by Dixon, called the Sycamore Homestead.

Dogwood Estate and Sycamore Homestead actually share a driveway that goes over a Dixon-built wooden bridge.

Highlights of the home include the careful use of historic materials such as yellow heart pine floors, stained glass windows from Europe, Amish-built stone fireplaces and a 30-foot cathedral ceiling.
