Joe Cocker’s ranch for sale

The home of the late rock ‘n’ roll legend Joe Cocker in Crawford, Colo., has been put up for sale by his wife, Pam, at $7 million including furnishings.

Set on 243 acres on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains, the 15,873-square-foot mansion was built to the couple’s specifications in 1994.
