An Inside Look at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch

Neverland was meant to resemble a theme park and it certainly does with the huge train station entrance.

A real train carried guests around the property to the movie theater and zoo.

Before it was Neverland, it was called Sycamore Valley, a name it returned to. There were sycamore tree symbols throughout the property as a nod to its origins.

The centerpiece of Michael’s huge fireplace was a rotating pedestal that showcased the “Gone With the Wind” Best Picture Oscar he purchased for $1.1 million.

Like any other home, the giant kitchen was the gathering spot for Michael, his family and friends. He had a big, round table located next to the windows.

For his unique, vibrant wardrobe, MJ had a full cedar closet in his private living space.

Hidden within his closet, behind where his clothes would be was a secure second closet, which he may have used as a safe room in case of emergency.

In his private quarters, the singer had not one, but two bathrooms.

On a property like this, the outdoor space is going to be beautiful. The huge pool included a diving board perched high above the water.

Michael Jackson couldn’t exactly go to an actual movie theater, so he had a full theater on the grounds.

He also had his own zoo, though the animals were removed in 2009. A few roaming cattle can occasionally be seen grazing on the property.

The grounds once came alive with multiple theme park rides, but the carnival area now sits empty.

No matter what it’s called or what becomes of it in the future, Neverland Rach will always be closely associated with Michael Jackson.
