The ranch was more of a theme park for many years, with rides, a zoo and an amusement arcade along the grounds.
Eventually some reported financial issues meant Jackson was believed to have signed over a large amount of the property, but can fans visit it now? Billionaire businessman Ron Burkle who, interestingly enough, in addition to being the co-founder of an investment firm Yucaipa Companies and co-owner of an American football team Pittsburgh Penguins , is also a former associate of the late pop star.
The WSJ reports that Buckle saw the 1,hectare property, which features a main residence, pool house, movie theatre and dance studio saw the property from the air and put down, which wound up being accepted. The bargain was on account of the estate long being the subject of dark stories. So, what other facts about Neverland might you not know? The mansion is crafted with exposed timber beams, brick and stonework, five fireplaces, and 18th-century French oak parquet flooring from two chateaus in France.
Entering through the front doors brings you inside to the spacious main foyer. The door to the right connects to the kitchen.
Large golden chandeliers hang over the lofted main entryway. Down a few sets of stairs from the foyer is the main living room with two fireplaces. Walking back through the main foyer under an arched doorway brings you to the newly renovated kitchen.
Though the main house is unoccupied, a full-time staff keeps the kitchen pristine. Sycamore Valley Ranch has a guest house about feet from the main house. Walking through the kitchen to the main dining room, you'll find more wall-length windows that offer a view of the backyard. A hallway lined with windows connects you from the dining room to other rooms on the first floor.
There are eight bathrooms in the main residence. This one features a copper bathtub. Down the hallway is the first-floor master bedroom where the King of Pop slept. The master includes a private loft and two baths, two walk-in cedar-lined closets, and a private outdoor garden. A massive walk-in closet connects you to the master bedroom and bathroom. Jackson stored valuables in a "secret room" hidden around the corner in his closet, according to the Associated Press.
The master bathroom sports a sunken bathtub and is surrounded by large windows. Exiting the master bedroom will bring you back to the hallway. Continue down the hallway back to the foyer and you'll find a staircase.
Moving up the stairs to the second floor, you'll find four bedrooms. Here is an upstairs bedroom with polished oak flooring. Steven D Starr Getty Images.
