The former Las Vegas home of iconic musical artist Michael Jackson has just been listed at $9.5 million. The King of Pop began renting the estate for $50,000 per month in 2006 after returning from his travels in Ireland and the Middle East. Jackson valued the residence for its spacious accommodations, privacy, and close proximity to all-things-Vegas. 

Presented by Zar Zanganeh representing The Agency Las Vegas, this elegant, sprawling estate comprises a 17,000 sqft. mansion seated on a one-acre plot. Located in the heart of Las Vegas’ exclusive Lakes neighborhood, the estate was built with location in mind — the world-famous Strip and downtown Vegas are just 15 minutes away from the residence. Those who value privacy and tranquility while still near the bustle of the city need not worry: the estate is fully enclosed by an 8-10 ft. wall with a gate located at the front for easy access.

Not to be outdone, the lavish, Roman-style interior features high ceilings with custom chandeliers, an indoor fountain, a ballroom, an office wing, a fully equipped bar, and a spacious movie theater. The estate’s equally impressive backyard boasts a covered kitchen for summer BBQs, a pool, a spa, a full-sized tennis court, and a rooftop deck for dazzling late-night Vegas views. The residence also includes several pieces of furniture that were owned and used by Jackson himself. 

With 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, this Las Vegas home has room to spare. The estate’s wide array of luxurious amenities both inside and out make it perfect for entertaining guests while maintaining complete comfort and privacy for those quiet nights in. For buyers who want to bring the eclectic tastes of Sin City into their own home, look no further: this elegant property is one fit for a king—pop or otherwise.
