Just one month before his death, the Golden Globe winner put his ranch on Northern California’s Mendocino Coast on the market for $17.2 million, per The Sacramento Bee.
He announced his retirement in a 2021 statement issued by his management, revealing that he had slowly stepped back from the spotlight.
Kristofferson was known for his chart-topping 1972 song “Why Me,” and “Me & Bobby McGee,” a hit recorded by Janis Joplin shortly before her 1970 death.
