Roy Rogers’ old ranch is up for sale

Movie star and singer Roy Rogers‘ old Double R Bar Ranch off old Route 66 in Oro Grande, Calif., is on the block, according to RIS Media.

It can be yours for $12.5 million.

From the news release:

Roy Rogers owned the ranch up to his death on July 6, 1998. Shortly thereafter, Roy Rogers Jr. (Dusty), trustee of the Roy Rogers estate, sold the ranch to a family friend, who envisioned a Roy Rogers-themed guest ranch. The plan fizzled. In 2002, Ernesto (Eric) Enriquez and his wife, Anne, purchased the ranch with a six-year comprehensive plan to restore and maintain the honor and integrity of Roy Rogers’ name and the beauty of this ranch he cherished.

The Double R Ranch features a landmark red barn that has been converted into a movie theatre and banquet facility with handicap men’s and women’s restrooms and a kitchen facility. Roy Rogers’ tool room remains untouched with all of his personal tools. The main house has four bedrooms and three baths which have also been completely remodeled. The museum building houses the ranch office with an extensive collection of personal items and memorabilia. The bunkhouse has two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and family room. The seventeen-horse stable and support buildings (utility, tool & equipment) have also all been extensively restored. There is a ½ mile training race track, irrigation lines, large cottonwood trees, covered round pen, and additional paddocks and pens to board and train over one hundred thirty horses.

It might be a decent price, considering that Southern California is going through a bust in the housing bubble.

The Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Museum used to be there, but it moved to Branson, Mo., in 2003.
