Johnny Cash's Casitas Spring Ranch in California is up for sale

Johnny Cash may have traveled everywhere, but his Casitas Spring Ranch, where he lived for six years, is now officially on the market.

The country music legend, who died in 2003 at age 71, built Ventura, California, from the ground up after purchasing the plot of land in 1960.

Now, Douglas Elliman co-agents Adam McKaig and Melissa Borders are listing the property for $1,795, 000, but McKaig told Fox News Digital he shoud the house sell for more than the asking price.

The realtor said that interest will lead to a higher price.

McKaig revealed that most of the buyers who have already expressed interest are big families and Cash fans from all over the world. Cash built the five-bedroom, four- and a half bath home in 1961 for his four daughters and his then-wife Vivian his first wife Vivian his first wife The house suited the family quite comfortably and accommodated the musician's work habits, McKaig said.

He had built two master suites, one for himself and one for Vivian, because he was recording all night and sleeping in the daytime, he said.

Vivian was raising the kids, so she slept normal hours. The house also includes Cash's wooden-paneled recording studio, which McKaig suggested could be turned into a sixth bedroom.

The 4,500 square foot home, nestled in the hills at the end of long and windy Nye Road, offers not only privacy but an in-ground swimming pool.

The property is situated on six acres of California land with views of the Ojai Valley, overlooking the quaint town of Casitas Springs.

Cash's presence can still be felt in some of the home's original features, including Cash's famous black toilet, even though the house was inhabited by the Montecito Fire Department chief for the last 20 years, according to the listing agents.

McKaig said very little has changed, from the Wagon Wheel light fixtures in the living room to the knotty pine paneling and the iconic pull-out record player.

There is the man in the black toilet, McKaig added with a laugh.
