Michael Jackson's infamous
Neverland Ranch is up
for sale for a whopping
$100 million! Neverland, the California property that once served as
Michael Jackson's home and personal fantasyland is being listed at
$100 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Nestled among the hills, the 2,700 acres about 40 minutes outside of Santa Barbara are a sight to behold. Many of the property’s perks are standard celebrity real estate accoutrements: a swimming pool, basketball court, tennis court and 50-seat movie theatre with balcony. There are also two lakes within the Estate.
Other fantastical structures in Neverland are from Jackson’s imagination: railways and the grand train station he had built, a floral clock that spells “Neverland” and a “Neverland Valley Fire Department” firehouse that was, at one time, staffed with full-time firefighters.
Real Estate Value and Amenities:
Jackson originally paid $19.5 million for the oak- and sycamore-studded property in 1988 and rechristened it Neverland after Peter Pan's island dwelling. He soon added such over-the-top amenities as a zoo and small amusement park; but the amusement park rides and zoo animals Jackson kept on property are all gone, save a lonely llama.
If the swimming pool, cabana, basketball court and tennis court don't provide enough entertainment, there is also a movie theater and a stage designed for magic shows that features trapdoors.
There are 22 separate structures on the property, including a 12,000-square-foot multi-gabled main house and two separate guest houses. The main house has 6 bedrooms and staff quarters.
Though the property has been renamed, a floral clock on the grounds still spells out Neverland. Jackson lived there from 1988 to 2005.
This could be yours... if you can afford it! :D
