With the home enclosed in an 8-10-foot wall, Jackson was said to be a fan of the privacy the estate provided, per a statement from The Agency shared with PEOPLE.
After purchasing the home in 2010 for $3.1 million, current owners Dong Xue and his wife Jeanette Zhou upgraded the property with a balcony in the 2,500-foot primary suite, bringing the space from 16,000 square feet to 17,000.
The Roman-inspired interior of the home boasts a theater, a ballroom, and an orchestra loft that can be reached via a stunning spiral staircase.
Jackson’s touch is still present as a dining room table and sofa that was part of the decor when the 13-time Grammy winner was a resident are still in the home.
The property also features a two-way fireplace, custom chandeliers, an additional kitchen, wet bar, and an office unit.
The exterior touts a pool, spa, tennis court, a sealed outdoor kitchen, and a rooftop deck with impressive views.
The listing comes a little more than a year afterJackson’s Neverland ranchin Los Olivas, CA., sold to billionaire Ron Burkle for $22 million in December 2020. Jackson first bought the home in 1987 for $19.5 million and lived there for 15 years.
