The late singer Michael Jackson’s home ‘Neverland’ is now on the market for 100 million dollars. The home famous for the carnival rides and zoo animals Jackson kept at the estate has gotten a new name and is looking for a new owner. Read more after the jump.
Jackson’s Neverland ranch will not be called Sycamore Valley Ranch and is no longer home to the carnival rides and zoo animals. MJ originally paid $19.5 million for the 2,700-acre Santa Barbara estate in 1987. He lived their for 15 years before he was forced out due to financial trouble.
The main house is 12,000 square feet and lies between two lakes. This just one of the 22 buildings and structures on the property. It is complete with six bedrooms and staff quarters. There are two guest homes, and a breathtaking view of the mountains. Although the amusement park and train are gone the ranch has plenty of entertainment including swimming pool, basketball and tennis courts and a movie theater.
The home is on the market with Sotheby’s International Realty. Their representative Suzanne Perkins said the property is the “most spectacular ranch I’ve had the privilege of seeing.” MJ’s fans will be disappointed to find out that they will not be giving tours.
Jackson died on June 25, 2009 at his home in Los Angeles from an overdose. His doctor was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

I am going to go ahead and buy Michael Jackson’s house tomorrow. I just have to run down to the bank and pull out my 20 million I have in there. I am the new owner everyone lol.
It will be interesting to see who purchases it. Hopefully it is someone that enjoys a huge place with a lot of land. I would guess he or she would charge the public to come and view it. Maybe turn it into an expensive resort that people can book reservations to stay there at the historic house of the king of pop. Fans would eat that up and the money could be quickly made back.
