Mandalay Ranch includes a 15,000-sf home, a 3,500-sf guesthouse with a caretaker's quarters and two cabins. It also is zoned for another 15,000-sf home. The land, minutes from Aspen, is between the Snowmass and Buttermilk ski areas.
Guber offered the property for sale for slightly more than a year. Original asking price was $63 million. The property was sold by local broker Robert Ritchie. The sale doubles the most expensive spread ever sold in Aspen. In 2001, the 956-acre Braun Ranch in Woody Creek sold for $23 million.
Guber had been a studio chief of Columbia Pictures, where he produced hits such as "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," "Taxi Driver" and "Midnight Express". He won an Oscar for "Rainman" when it was named Best Picture in 1982. He was chairman and COO of Sony Corp. from 1988 until 1995 and later formed the multimedia company Mandalay Entertainment Group.
