PowerPoint Show by Andrew

The 2700 acre property features 22 structures, including a 12,000 square feet main home with six bedrooms and attached staff quarters.

The property is now called Sycamore Valley Ranch, its former name prior to Jackson’s ownership, with most of the telltale signs of its former owner removed, including the amusement park.

Jackson purchased Neverland in 1987 for $19.5 million and moved out in 2005 after his acquittal on charges that he molested children at the ranch.

Michael Jackson's infamous Neverland Ranch has hit the market for the first time since the late singer's death.

The firm who bought the singer's debt and then restored the property have finally put the sprawling ranch located just outside of Santa Barbara, California, on the market.

While the theme park rides may be gone (along with Michael's elephants and beloved monkey Bubbles) the history - both bad and good - remains, and it can now be yours if you have a spare $100million. 

Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, pictured recently, has been put on the market for $100 million.

Listed by Sotheby's and Hilton & Hyland, most of the telltale signs of its former famous owner have been erased, turning the 2700-acre property from a fun park into a grand estate.

The Wall Street Journal reports the firm who bought the singer's debt and then restored the property have finally put the sprawling ranch located just outside of Santa Barbara, California, on the market.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the home, which is located between the property's two lakes, is an impressive 12,000-square-feet, with six bedrooms and an attached staff quarters.

The sales agents have stressed that this is not fans' chance to see their idol's home as they will require 'extensive prequalification' of potential buyers: 'We're not going to be giving tours'.

There are still a few small signs that the property (pictured in 2001) was the Neverland Ranch, with its train and clock made from flowers that spells out 'Neverland' retained and restored.

Neverland (pictured 2001) now known as Sycamore Valley Ranch - which was its name prior to the star buying it in the Eighties.

Realtor Suzanne Perkins said that the amusement park (pictured 2003) the late King Of Pop constructed and his beloved exotic animals have been removed.

The new buyer will own 22 structures including a giant Normandy-style main house (pictured 2009) which has been renovated.

While the amusement park has now been removed, there are still plenty of things to do with the property. A swimming pool with a cabana, basketball court, tennis court and BBQ area.

The property was the marital home of the King of Pop and Lisa Marie Presley (seen here prior to their 1996 divorce).

The kitchen in the main house (pictured 2009) features many counter-tops and brick walls.

Jackson's former arcade (pictured 2009) features two stories and was once full of video games.

The home movie theatre (pictured 2009) boasts rows of cushy red velvet chairs and a wooden stage.

A very spacious dance studio is housed in the movie theatre building, including a mirrored wall and glossy wood flooring.

A great room in the main house (pictured 2009) is decked out with exquisite gold chandeliers and giant windows, allowing in plenty of sunlight.

Behind a locked closet door (pictured 2009) is a secret room that contains another locked door.

A wine cellar below the arcade features stone walls and flooring and dark wood shelving.
