Neverland Ranch was the name of the home of the late Michael Jackson. Jackson named the property after Neverland, the fantasy island in the story of Peter Pan, a boy who never grows up. The 12,598-square-foot French Normandy-style home sits on 2,698 acres in the Santa Ynez Valley, northeast of Los Angeles. It has six-bedrooms, a four-acre lake with waterfall, three guest houses, a tennis court, and a 5,500-square-foot movie theater and stage. It was Jackson's home as well as his private amusement park. It contained a floral clock, a petting zoo, and two railroads. There was also a Ferris wheel, Carousel, Zipper, Octopus, Pirate Ship, Wave Swinger, Super Slide, roller coaster, bumper cars, and an amusement arcade.
