"The 65-acre spread, currently a working ranch, film set and wedding venue, was once owned by singing cowboy actor Rogers and his wife, actress Dale Evans. The sellers added an entire Wild West set with a saloon, a blacksmith shop and other structures. The red barn contains Rogers' old workshop, a kitchen, restrooms and a bridal room."
"Rogers, who died in 1998 at 86, got his start in radio and then as a band member. He was in scores of films and television shows including his own, 'The Roy Rogers Show,' telecast from 1951 to 1957. The show's well-known closing theme serenaded viewers of that era: 'Happy trails to you, until we meet again.'"
"Seventeen horse stables, a half-mile racetrack, garages, a campground and grapevines that Rogers planted during the 1960s complete the grounds. Three houses with a total of six bedrooms, six bathrooms and 4,639 square feet of living space sit off the Mojave River near old Route 66."
