Neverland Ranch facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Neverland Ranch is a big property located in Santa Barbara County, California, United States. It was bought by the famous singer Michael Jackson in 1987 for about $19.5 million USD. He no longer owned the property by 2007. This huge ranch, which is about 2,700 acres, is currently for sale for $100 million.

The property has been given a new name: Sycamore Valley Ranch. The main house, which looks like a Normandy-style mansion, is still there. Also, the train station with its beautiful floral clock remains. However, the amusement park rides that used to be there have been taken away. The zoo animals that lived on the ranch have also moved to new homes. The private fire department on the ranch no longer has firefighters working there. The property is being sold by a real estate investment company called Colony Capital.
