Ready to step into Johnny Cash's preserved Jamaica sanctuary where multiple centuries of spirits reportedly mingle? Cinnamon Hill Great House is the 290-year-old Barrett family estate where Elizabeth Barrett-Browning's ancestors first lived, later becoming Johnny Cash and June Carter's beloved retreat until his passing. The interior remains frozen in time with family photos, Johnny's well-worn work boots, and even a crocodile he helped catch – while ghostly sightings reported by the Cashes and visitors add supernatural intrigue to this authentic celebrity shrine.

From 1734 plantation grandeur to Man in Black memorabilia, this house captures the spirit of multiple eras in Jamaica's most legendary celebrity home.
