The 12,000 square-foot home where Michael Jackson and his numerous exotic animals once lived is now on the market.
On 2,700 acres in Los Olivos, 40 miles outside Santa Barbara, the King of Pop’s Neverland Ranch, now the Sycamore Valley Ranch, is being priced at $100 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The ranch no longer includes Bubbles (the chimpanzee) and the rest of the animals, nor are the rides still on the estate, but the property does have 22 buildings in all, including two guest houses and a six-bedroom home. There is also a 50-seat movie theater complete with trap doors on the stage for magic shows, and the floral clock and train station are are still there as well.
In 1987, Jackson purchased Neverland Ranch for $19.5 million and lived there for more than 15 years. The ranch was once at the center of a police investigation after child molestation allegations were made against the music icon. Jackson was acquitted of those claims in 2005. He passed away in 2009 at the age of 50.
The project will exceed 100,000 square feet and will come up to include a 5,000-square-foot master bedroom, a 30-car garage, a 45-seat cinema, a 8,500-square-foot night club and a Monaco-style casino.
The “jelly fish room” with tanks on three walls and a light-changing ceiling will add up to the extraordinary features of Niami’s mansion which is set to be the largest and the most luxurious in the U.S.
Loaded with almost every amenity available in the world, it has been planned to be home to four swimming pools, including a 180-foot infinity pool, and about 20,000 square feet of grass which is most likely be synthetic.
Expected to take at least 20 more months to completed, the 4-acre hilltop property will offer 360-degree panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Beverly Hills, downtown Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. Described as “very similar to a palace” by Paul McClean, the mansion’s architect, the house is also designed help to preserve water as California suffers from a record drought.
