Some of the great amenities of the house is the is the wood panled library of course. Then we have an amazing theater and screening room. The property has amazing grounds, a great pool, a beautiful guest house, or the wine celler, which is incredible. If you like wine, there’s an amazing game room downstairs with ventilation for playing poker.
Well, we’re currently standing in the kitchen at the Michael’s house in Carol Wood. It’s a beautiful kitchen. It has everything anybody could possibly want. It’s generating an amazing energy and whether that’s coming from, you know, the icon of Michael Jackson. >> Michael Jackson spent his final days inside a rented mansion on North Carolwood Drive in Los Angeles.
After his death in 2009, the house became closely connected to the last chapter of his life. The property quickly gained attention around the world and became an important part of the story surrounding his homes and what happened to them afterward. >> So, this is one side of the house and this is the one gate.
I’ll go around and show you the other gate. But right up there, right there, that window. Yeah, that’s the window to the bedroom where Michael Jackson passed away. So, if you look, the trees have grown in a little bit, but if you look right through the trees there, you can see the tall window. >> Over time, the house slowly moved away from public attention and became part of private ownership.
It was no longer a place people mainly viewed as a celebrity home. Instead, it became a quiet real estate property, mostly hidden from the outside world. As the years passed, it stayed behind closed doors, showing how even famous homes linked to Michael Jackson, eventually became private spaces, shaped more by ownership and value than by the public memory attached to them.
But to think that it all started right here at this house. You could see on the news the gates opened for when the police arrived and the paramedics. And it was those gates right there in front of me. >> On June 25th, 2009, the world heard the shocking news that Michael Jackson had passed away. It was a moment that changed music history forever.
The mansion where he spent his final moments quickly became known across the globe, not only as an expensive home, but as a place connected to a very emotional event. For millions of fans, it became a symbol of loss. As the years went by, the home continued to be remembered for its beauty, but also for the sadness attached to it.
Today, it remains tied to the final chapter of a global superstar whose influence is still felt everywhere. The property carries both history and emotion, making it one of the most discussed homes in entertainment history. Now, here’s what the house looks like from the front uh driveway. This house was an amazing house.
Michael Jackson was renting it for $100,000 a month at the time. It was seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, over 17,000 square ft, and it most recently sold on the market for $18.1 million, and I’m sure it’s worth much more than that now. The architecture on this place is just second to none. It is awesome. The photos you’ll be looking at now are from the real estate listing, the most recent one.
So, this would have been how Michael saw the house. And this photo here is of the actual bedroom that Michael Jackson passed away in. And this photo here is the room the way that it looked when Michael lived here. And the bed in the photo is actually Michael Jackson’s deathbed, which went up for public auction after he passed away.
Now, there was quite an outcry of people that didn’t want to see this sold and especially Michael Jackson’s estate. So, I think they actually took it off the market. >> This mansion became strongly connected to Michael Jackson during the final period of his life and soon became a major part of his personal story.
What had once been just a private rental slowly attracted worldwide interest as fans and the media began linking it to his final days. >> 15t ceilings and massive hallways make a memorable first impression. >> The kids must have loved running around this house. It feels like I could hear their little feet all over the house because it feels like the house that kids would just love to just explore and have fun in.
You know, >> it does feel like that. If I were a kid, I’d love playing around here and roller skating through the hallways and just having a ton of fun. Later, the home was listed for around $239 million and became widely known in the real estate world as the place where Michael Jackson had lived.
Over time, its image changed completely. It went from being a quiet private residence to a famous property recognized by people everywhere. Today, the house is remembered not only for its price or design, but for the deep emotional connection it has to the pop legend and the final stage of his life. The immaculate kitchen features state-of-the-art cookware and plenty of prep space.
>> Look at this. Wow. This is an island. Like literally an island. This is huge. >> Feeding a mansion full of people requires roomy refrigerators. >> Don’t lock me. >> I promise. >> Ooh, this is nice. >> It’s great, isn’t it? >> Yeah. I like it. Wow. This is amazing. >> This is actually the master that Michael picked.
This is the one that he uh slept in. Uh it’s right in the center of the house. It’s got beautiful views and uh he enjoyed this room. >> This is unbelievable to be here. I mean, it’s seriously like being a part of history. >> During a real estate tour, a broker walks through Michael Jackson’s final residence and shows a home built for space, comfort, and luxury.
One of the most noticeable areas is the large preparation space designed to handle meals for a full household. Every part of it feels made for mansion living rather than an ordinary home. As the tour continues, the property feels impressive and unusual, showing the level of luxury built into the final private home Michael Jackson lived in.
>> If they didn’t live on Carolwood or had a house on Carolwood at one point, they had a house probably within about a mile of this location. Now, we’re here for the home on the corner of this right here. This is Monavail and Carolwood. And just up here on the left hand side, we’re going to walk up.
But this gate is going to look really familiar to you because back when Michael Jackson passed away, this was the home he was living in right here behind this gate. >> The tour then moves deeper inside Michael Jackson’s final residence and reaches some of the most private areas of the house. First, it enters the master bedroom, a calm and comfortable space designed to feel quiet and peaceful away from the outside world.
