Private investment firm which owns the King of Pop's former home is inviting offers but family say they are "saddened"
Neverland, where Michael Jackson once lived in a fantasy world with Bubbles the chimpanzee, fairground rides and a candy shop, has been put up for sale.
His family said they hoped any new owners would respect the property's unique history.
The sprawling 2,800-acre ranch 130 miles north of Los Angeles, which has been deserted for years, is owned by a private investment firm which bought it in 2008 for $23.5 million when the King of Pop was heavily in debt.
Thomas Barrack Jr of Colony Capital told Bloomberg: "We've really just been custodians of an irreplaceable estate and are proud to say we've restored it to the original elegance Michael first envisioned. We are now considering putting it up for sale."
Mr Barrack said he wanted it to stay as "an enduring tribute to Michael Jackson".
