Santa Barbara Real Estate

Michael Jackson’s Sycamore Valley Ranch

Michael Jackson’s Sycamore Canyon Ranch in Los Olivos is for $100,000,000.  The property can be shown only to pre-qualified buyers.  This spectacular property resides on approximately 2700 acres. The main house is approximately 13,000 sq. ft., and there are several guest houses. Bill Bone built this home in 1982.

Wall Street Journal May 29, 2015: “The property does feature 22 structures, including a six-bedroom main house complete with attached staff quarters, a four-bedroom guesthouse, and an adjacent two-bedroom guesthouse. There is also a tennis court, basketball court, swimming pool, cabana, and a 50-seat movie theatre. The Neverland Valley Train Station, featuring a clock tower with a large floral clock, also remains, but while the railroad tracks continue to circle the property, the train itself no longer runs.

In an effort to prevent giving open house tours to Jackson fanatics, the real estate companies will conduct an “extensive prequalification” screening process. “Our seller is not encouraging a lot of showings,” The listing agents told the Wall Street Journal. “We’re not going to be giving tours.”
