Do all country music stars like owning a home in the countryside? Not necessarily, but it is a natural fit. And, if it’s a rural property by the ocean, even better. Actor and country singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson bought this 557-acre ranch in northern California in 1980. The 87-year-old, who is credited for writing Janis Joplin’s hit “Me and Bobby McGee” and starred in the 1976 classic A Star Is Born, just put it on the market at $17.2 million.
Available for the first time in 43 years, the rugged estate with one mile of coastline is perfect for someone who wants room to roam and make memories with all the generations. Kristofferson certainly enjoyed camping with loved ones on the land, as the above family photos generously shared with dailyDEEDS® depict.
Though its most recent chapter as Kristofferson Ranch began in 1980, the property’s history goes back much further. It was originally developed as a dairy farm in the 1800s. The original roadhouse and barns from that period are still alive and well today. The land also holds more structures and a great network of roads to help you navigate and explore it all. There’s a cavernous rocky outcropping known as Devils Basin that is just screaming to have a country song written about it.
With clear possibilities for farming and keeping livestock, and plenty of room to build a luxury manor, a buyer’s imagination can really soar. Even without making additions, the natural beauty of the fields, forests, and the Pacific Ocean is more than enough to hold one’s interest.
Justin Nadeau of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the stunning celebrity listing in Elk, CA.
