The Double R Bar ranch near Victorville, in the Mojave Desert, includes a 1,700-square-foot home, a barn that doubles as a banquet facility and theater for showing movies, a stable with 15 stalls, a half-mile horse track and fenced pastures.
The Victorville Daily Press reports the Williams & Williams Worldwide auction firm sold the ranch to the highest bidder last week.
Eric and Anne Enriquez of Orange County restored the property after buying it 10 years ago for $300,000.
The new owner is Margaret Tom, a retired social worker from Kaneohe, Hawaii. Tom says she’s giving the ranch to her daughter and son-in-law to keep their Arabian horses.
Rogers was 86 when he died in 1998. His wife and frequent co-star, Dale Evans, died in 2001 at the age of 88.
