Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch could be yours for the low, low price of $100 million

The amusement park rides, elephants, and Bubbles are all gone, but Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, now on the market for $100 million, still has plenty of extras, including a railroad station and tracks, a 50-seat movie theater with a private viewing balcony perfect for dangling your baby over, and a massive clock made of flowers.

The late entertainer purchased the Los Olivos, California, ranch for $19.5 million in 1987. Located 40 miles from Santa Barbara, the estate now has a new name, Sycamore Valley Ranch, and the buyer can moonwalk their way through 22 structures spread out across 2,700 acres. The main house is a 12,000-square-foot Normandy-style behemoth with six bedrooms and staff quarters, situated next to a lake. There are two guest houses on the property — one with four bedrooms, the other with two — as well as a swimming pool and cabana, basketball and tennis courts, barbecue area, and the Neverland Valley Fire Department Building, which sadly no longer employs full-time firefighters.

Jackson super fans who don't have an extra $100 million in the bank to purchase the ranch but still want to see it are out of luck; listing agent Suzanne Perkins of Sotheby's International Realty told The Wall Street Journal that "we're not going to be giving tours," and prospective buyers have to go through an "extensive pre-qualification."
