When Michael Jackson<\/a>\u2019s Neverland ranch first went on the market in 2015, owners of the 2,700-acre property in Santa Barbara County, California property were asking $100 million. Now, it\u2019s back on the market, at a dramatically reduced price: $31 million, the Wall Street Journal<\/em> reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The drop is the latest chapter in the Jackson estate\u2019s struggle sell the property; it is technically owned by a venture between the estate and a real estate investment firm called Colony Capital. The property was last listed in 2017 at a cut price of $67 million. Now, after switching listings agents, it\u2019s back for sale, under a new name: the Sycamore Valley Ranch. Architectural Digest<\/em><\/a> reports it includes a 12,000-square foot house, guesthouses, a lagoon-like swimming pool, a basketball court and more. Jackson bought the property in 1987 and lived there for more than 15 years before his death in 2009.<\/p>\n

The timing of the sale may be significant: While property Agent Kyle Forsyth told CBS News<\/a> that it\u2019s\u00a0right time to sell \u201cwith the drought ending and the Santa Ynez Valley in full bloom,\u201d (a series of natural disasters and a long draught have damaged the area), the listing comes days ahead of the release of the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the film, two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, claim Jackson sexually abused them as children on the Neverland property; the Jackson estate has called it \u201ccharacter assassination<\/a>,\u201d and sued HBO<\/a>. Oprah Winfrey is set to interview<\/a> Robson and Safechuck after the second part of the film airs on March 4th.<\/p>\n
