Joe Cocker’s Colorado ranch goes on sale for $18 million
Joe Cocker may have died in 2014, but you can connect with a piece of the British rocker’s spirit: His 316-acre estate in western Colorado is on the market for $18 million.
The “You Are So Beautiful” singer styled Mad Dog Ranch after the Tudor estates of his native England. It was built for him and his wife, Pam Baker, in 1994 by award-winning architect John D. Kelley.
Liv Sotheby’s International Realty’s Dan Dockray, who has the listing, called its attention to detail “uncompromising.” “The home is luxurious beyond expectations and yet still feels comfortable and unpretentious, an outstanding combination of vision executed in a dramatic setting,” Dockray told Forbes.
The 15,873-square-foot main home and guesthouse include an astonishing 15 bedrooms and an equal number of baths, plus Cocker’s extensive art and book collections, his piano and gold record, and an antique snooker table that once belonged to King Edward VII.
Mad Dog Ranch is located in Crawford, Colorado, in the West Elk Mountains, about 100 miles from both Aspen and Telluride. In addition to the main buildings, the property is home to verdant gardens, twin water slides that feed into a huge swimming pool, horse stables, 60 acres of pastures, and miles of hiking and riding trails.
Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller’s New York love nest for sale
A classic seven on the Upper East Side where playwright Arthur Miller and his movie icon bride, Marilyn Monroe, once lived is on the market. Originally offered for $3.75 million back in May, the three-bedroom condo at 444 E 57th Street near Sutton Place has been relisted for $3.05 million with realtor Harriet Maisel of Brown Harris Stevens.
At nearly 2,200 square feet, the spacious 13th-floor unit comes with two wood-burning fireplaces, a formal dining room that seats 10, and a primary bedroom with views of the East River.
The building, designed by renowned New York architect Lafayette Goldstone, dates to 1927.
The Hollywood couple lived there in the late 1950s (it’s where Miller wrote The Misfits), but they aren’t the building’s only celebrity alumni: Singer Bobby Short and Sweden’s Princess Madeleine both had apartments there, and fashion designer Bill Blass once lived in a penthouse.
