Since the ranch has been put on the market last May, Sotheby’s International Realty has renamed it Sycamore Valley Ranch and the brochures sent out to potential buyers make no mention of Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson’s memory has been stripped from his Southern California Ranch Neverland!

Here the description on the brochures:

Sycamore Valley Ranch is the ultimate ranch retreat and gated estate of approx. 2,698 acres located 5 miles north of the town of Los Olivos. The main residence of approximately 12,598 sq.ft. offers 6 bedrooms, including a large first floor master suite with a private loft and two master baths.

The home was designed by Robert Altevers for William Bone in a French Normandy-style and meticulously crafted to perfection in 1982. The home is nestled between extensively landscaped gardens and a four-acre lake complete with a waterfall, incredible pastoral views to the south and majestic mountain views to the north.

An expansive covered outdoor barbeque area is perfect for entertaining and is located adjacent to the inviting pool and nearby pool house and tennis court. There are multiple structures on the property including three separate guest homes, an approx. 5,500-sq.ft. movie theater with stage, several barns, animal shelter facilities, corrals and a maintenance shop.

When Michael Jackson lived in the property, it was home to a fairground and a zoo but these have long been removed. Only the 5,000 square-foot cinema remains as final hint at the property’s once flamboyant past.

‘We hope and trust that any new owners of Neverland will respect the historical importance and special nature of this wonderful property.

‘Michael’s memory lives on in the hearts of his fans worldwide,’ the singer’s estate said in a statement in May.
