Skywalker Ranch, Recording studio and ranch in Nicasio, California
Skywalker Ranch extends across 4,700 acres of land in Marin County, featuring Victorian architecture buildings, vineyards, and organic gardens with olive groves.
George Lucas acquired the former Bulltail Ranch property in 1978, transforming it into a specialized audio post-production facility for the film industry.
The Technical Building houses Skywalker Sound, which includes six mixing stages, 15 sound design suites, and 50 editing rooms for audio production.
The property maintains a private fire station that operates within the Marin County mutual aid system to support neighboring areas during emergencies.
The ranch features a research library with a stained-glass dome, a 300-seat screening theater, and rooms named after individuals George Lucas admires.
