The 3,000 acre former home of Michael Jackson is not open to visitors, but is still a pilgrimage site for some former fans. Visitors can park across the street and take a picture at the nondescript brown gate - the guardhouse can be seen hidden back in the sycamores. While Jackson was alive the ranch hosted sick children and featured an amusement park. Starting in May 2015 the property was for sale with a price tag of $100 million, but it eventually sold in 2020 for less than a quarter of that total.
Sycamore Valley Ranch, formerly Neverland Ranch or Neverland Valley Ranch, is a developed property in Santa Barbara County, California, on the edge of Los Padres National Forest. From 1988 to 2005, it was the home of the American singer Michael Jackson. The ranch is about five miles (8 km) north of the unincorporated community of Los Olivos, and about eight miles (13 km) north of the town of Santa Ynez.
