It’s not at all surprising that this beauty sold. With or without the notoriety that came with it as the estate where Michael Jackson died, the craftsmanship displayed within was a rare find in comparison to so many mega mansions we see on the market today. Michael was renting the estate for $100,000 a month while working on his last project that was unfortunately never completed. After Neverland, it’s hard to imagine Michael Jackson living in a stately, formal residence, but when he went formal, he did it in grand style.

Not surprising that the estate has attracted many famous buyers, however, the winner is said to be investment banker Steven Mayer who obviously has a penchant for top quality.

Of course the rooms are huge and the ceilings high, but unusual features are the rich ceiling and floor details in each room. Those who love to fantasize over mega mansions are accustomed to routine vast expanses of marble and occasional artwork on a ceiling, but here, the intricate inlaid wood patterns in the floors, different in almost every room, must have taken hundreds of hours of labor to achieve, and the coffered ceilings have been built up layer over layer in beautiful wood. Built in 2002, it also has the livability features we crave with the huge dressing rooms, wine cellar and theatre, but due to the high calibre of craftsmanship and materials, these rooms have been taken to the tenth power. Designed by Richard Landry, this elegant Holmby Hills mansion is in the French chateau style and consists of 17,000 square feet. Sited on 1.26 acres behind gated walls, the 2-story main house has 7 bedrooms and 13 baths.

Michael Jackson died at this LA estate, which was listed at $23.9 million. Sold to new owner Steven Mayer for a price estimated to be between $17 million to $20 million.
