Neverland Ranch, made famous by Michael Jackson, is for sale for $67 million.

Sycamore Valley Ranch, as it's now being called, includes a 12,500-square-foot residence on a 2,700-acre property in Los Olivos, California, just north of the Danish village Solvang and less than an hour's drive from Santa Barbara.

Jackson had sold the property prior to his death for $22.5 million, according to the Associated Press.

The ranch offers “quintessential California beauty and rare privacy,” according to the real estate listing. The $67-million price tag is down from $100 million, which the property was listed for in 2016.

The town of Los Olivos is very near Solvang, a Danish village that attracts tourists—and near Buellton, which has a locally famous restaurant for split pea soup.

California Ranch

The style is “quintessential California,” according to the realtor. And the interiors do have that ranch quality so tied to the region—it's almost like the (fake) house from “The Parent Trap.” (The original with Brian Keith.)

With 2,700 acres—and a surrounding region free of the stereotypical southern California congestion—there's plenty of privacy.

Idyll

Someone in Santa Barbara, at some point, declared the region the American Riviera. Although Los Olivos is not on the coast, there is an idyllic Mediterranean quality to the environment (although the water is much colder).

Movie Theater

In case you're looking to never go back to civilization again, there's a 50-seat movie theater on the property. (Although we'd recommend watching something slightly more entertaining than imagery of the property itself. “The Wiz,” perhaps?)

French-Normandy Meets California Ranch

Although there's something very California about the property and architecture, it was designed in a French-Normandy style by award-winning architect Robert Altevers, of Altevers Associates, for builder William Bone.
