Description

Nestled in the heart of the North Fork Valley in Southwestern Colorado, Mad Dog Ranch is a true masterpiece artfully created by its previous owner and late rock legend Joe Cocker. An inspired 15,873 square-foot English estate, the home enjoys unmatched peace and privacy as well as stunning vistas of Needle Rock, Landsend Peak, and the surrounding West Elk Mountains from its own private box canyon paradise. Undoubtedly the most luxurious retreat in the state of Colorado, the home itself is absolute perfection. Warm and inviting, yet exquisitely elegant, award-winning architect John D. Kelley achieved perfection when he harmoniously introduced old-world style to modern mountain living. Across its seven spacious guest suites, ten full bathrooms, and four powder rooms, the entire mansion sits at the height of sophistication and luxury, highlighted by an extensive art collection and Cockers beloved, historic snooker table that once belonged to King Edward VII. Alpenglow sunsets across the private mountain vistas are made even more spectacular by the expansive patios and balconies from which to enjoy them. These outdoor living spaces overlook all 316 acres and three lots that comprise this one-of-a-kind alpine retreat. Storied gardens, 60 acres of irrigated fields, Cottonwood Creek, horse stables, and two amusement park-sized water slides adorn the property, while lush National Forest surrounds it. The opportunities for exploration, hunting, fishing, hiking, or biking are limitless.
