The Kristofferson Ranch. For the first time in over 40 years, the 557+- acre Kristofferson Ranch is now available. The ownership of the ranch dates back to 1980 when Kris Kristofferson purchased the property. Steeped in history, the origins of the ranch began in the 1800's when it was originally developed as a dairy farm. As a testament to old world craftsmanship and design, the original road house and barns still stand to this day. Just below the road house sits the cavernous rocky outcropping, known as Devils Basin. This dramatic setting played host to the filming of Karate Kid 3 and is considered some of California's most pristine coastline. With nearly 1 mile of ocean frontage, cattle, timber production and residential development, the ranch offers endless possibilities to the next owner. Multiple building envelops with panoramic ocean views run along the ridge lines throughout the property. The well-maintained road network throughout the ranch will carry you from water's edge to the coastal meadows overlooking Manchester State Park. This is a place of solace. A fortress of solitude. Where tranquility in nature surrounds and heightens the senses. Where Pacific Ocean back drops, accentuate the majesty of old growth redwoods. The property offers the perfect setting for those looking to slip away into the privacy of nature yet be only 20 minutes away from the Little River Airport. Located just 3 hours north of San Francisco and minutes from the town of Elk, where Michelin starred restaurant dining is available. Never before has a property of this caliber been offered on the Mendocino Coast.
