Neverland Ranch, the residence of Michael Jackson from 1988 until he moved in 2005 after being removed of accusations he sexually molested a youthful boy, is unarguably among the world's most well-known celebrity houses.
Jackson, who felt he skipped on childhood pleasures because of his father's demanding guidance throughout his early success using the Jackson 5, changed the 22-building, 2,500 acre estate into every kid's dream - having a zoo, a cinema, Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, bumper cars, an excellent slide along with other theme park rides.
"It's like walking into Oz," he once stated.
Security was tight at Neverland Ranch. The press was rarely permitted beyond the gates, and site visitors needed to sign discretion contracts and weren't permitted to create cameras.
After Jackson moved out, the once magical property grew to become progressively worn lower, with overgrown tennis courts, stagnant water within the zoo, and torn the canopy over rides.
