MICHAEL JACKSON SOUGHT TO CREATE WONDERLAND AS REPLACEMENT HOME FOR NEVERLAND
The details of the scoop about the Wonderland Estate and Michael Jackson's home shopping experience are being released slowly but surely. According to Splash News, "Michael Jackson desperately wanted to buy a sprawling Las Vegas estate that he planned to call 'Wonderland', it has been claimed. The cash-strapped singer is said to have fallen in love with the 10-acre property, which boasts secret tunnels, a 20-car garage and a waterfall in the garden."However, rumor circulating through the real estate offices in the neighborhoods back then indicated Jackson couldn't yet afford the $25 million property's high market value price tag. According to the report, MJ he hoped his comeback gigs at London's 02 Arena would leave him with enough cash to snap it up - after he abandoned his beloved Californian Neverland ranch.
In a feature interview, real estate agent Zar Zanganeh, the person who actually took Michael Jackson on a tour of the ultra-luxe Vegas grand palace-like home said: "He loved it. He said he could do anything he wanted there, like in Neverland." Zanganeh added he gave Jacko and his children a tour of the 10-bedroom, 19-bathroom home in 2007. He said that his kids, Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11 and Blanket seven, were especially fond of the 1,000-square-foot secret play area tucked under the waterfall.
According to the real estate files from and about the house's previous residents, the play space was built by the owner, casino developer Gary Primm, for his own children.
If you want to know more about the house itself, here's the amenities specs from SPLASH's Gavin Wilson, celebrity news writer: The house also features a cinema, an indoor pool and a barber's chair in the master bedroom, as well as a horse stable and an air-conditioned "doggie hotel." There are also two underground tunnels - one leading to the garage and the other to a shooting range that Jackson hoped to convert into a music studio.
We think the recently deceased star would have been quite happy there... what do you think? Leave your comments and share your thoughts on MJ moving -- and more... should the family now consider buying Wonderland and burying the celeb pop king there instead of Neverland Ranch or Forrest Lawn Estates and turn the location into a tourist attraction and memorial shrine like Graceland to being more money to help support the family and children and to bring much needed dollars and visitors to the Vegas area on travel vacations?
