Michael Jackson’s Las Vegas mega-mansion hits the market for $9.5m.

Dubbed the ‘Thriller Villa’ in its listing, the completely walled-in property is 1.7acres and features a staggering 24,276-square-foot main house plus a 2,983-square foot guest house and even its own medieval chapel.

Listed by Nevada celebrity agent Kristen Routh Silberman, the compound was built originally by theater owner Horst Schmidt in the 1950s in Mexico and transported brick-by-brick to Nevada.

It then changed hands a few times before it was rented to Michael after he returned from his infamous time in Bahrain and the pop star decided he wanted to stay out of the public eye.

It was at this home that his family desperately tried to visit him at with the King Of Pop refusing them to let them through the gate, his youngest brother Randy allegedly tried to crash through the gate to stage an intervention one time.

After the late star’s untimely passing, its owner decided to turn the home into a shrine to its famous resident, recreating furnishings which looked like those Michael had favoured.

The seven bedroom, 12 bath Mediterranean meets medieval castle home is now filled with artwork featuring the icon’s visage and there is even a replica of the boy in the moon statue found at Michael’s most famous home Neverland.

There are still some very important elements that existed during the King Of Pop’s time according to the listing, including the master bedroom.

The master is an entire floor and has everything a reclusive pop star could need, a wet bar, a fireplace and giant mirrors, the original of which still stand and are where Michael, the listing claims, rehearsed his choreography.

He could have done plenty of singing in the shower too, as the stone bathroom features a huge shower and three sinks with a vanity.

Another original feature is the private art gallery/vault which is hidden in the home’s basement, which was put in by its first owner.

The 8500-square-foot basement is accessed from the outside by a tunnel and was used by the star to drive into so that he could avoid paparazzi.

While completely refurnished, the home’s attention grabbing salon was said to be the Billie Jean singer’s favourite and now a larger painting of him sits above the massive stone fireplace.

The room currently is furnished with large sofas, rich tapestry, art and a dining table and features wood floors, exposed wood beams and a Murano glass chandelier.

Inside the home is also a roped off grand piano, however, it is not clear from the listing if that was the singer’s but there is a life sized painting of Michael sitting on a throne is lent against the wall next to it.

But what is a Las Vegas property without the ability to hold quickie weddings? Don’t worry the Thriller Villa has got that covered too.

Outside in the expansive grounds is a two story medieval chapel which – a lot like Caesar’s Palace casino – has a painted sky roof.
Capable of sitting over 70, the chapel also features numerous religious statues and artifacts as well as a Crown of Thorns Chandelier.

According to the listing, if weddings are not your thing and you are feeling inspiration from its former resident, the acoustics are pitch perfect and the chapel can be used as a recording studio.

While the home may be fit for a King Of Pop, its interiors are undoubtedly not to everyone’s tastes but its grounds are hard to say no to.

Taking inspiration from the grande homes of Mexico, the house has a stoned inner courtyard with a beautiful fountain while around the home embraces the desert of Las Vegas with cultivated succulents and ornate statues.

There is also plenty of space to have horses, which no doubt Paris Jackson enjoyed.

Keen to play up its past, the realtor has released a over-the-top virtual tour video for the home, complete with a dance music version of Michael’s Beat It.
