Bone later said that in building the house he had ".a desire to express everything I had learned in 15 years of home building.I achieved here all the things I wanted to do in my business but could not". The 13,000 square foot (1,200 m²) main house was completed in 1982, based on a design by Altevers, with formal gardens, a stone bridge, and a four-acre lake with a five-foot waterfall. Bone commissioned the architect Robert Altevers to design the principal buildings on the ranch, and the pair spent two and a half years researching potential designs and ideas.
Bone renamed the estate the Sycamore Valley Ranch and moved there with his family. The estate was originally known as the Zaca Laderas Ranch at the time of its purchase by the property developer William Bone in 1981. In 2020, after several price drops, billionaire Ronald Burkle purchased the property for $22 million.
After Jackson's death the estate was put up for sale in 2015. Jackson left the ranch in 2005 shortly after his acquittal on child molestation charges and never returned, although he still maintained ownership of the property until his death in 2009. According to La Toya Jackson, Michael expressed interest to her in someday owning the property at that time. Jackson's first encounter with the ranch came when he visited Paul McCartney, who was staying there during their filming of the " Say Say Say" video in 1983. In 1988, the ranch was sold to Jackson, who renamed it after Neverland, the fantasy island in the story of Peter Pan, a boy who never grows up. Originally named Zaca Laderas Ranch, the estate was renamed Sycamore Valley Ranch shortly after it was purchased by property developer William Bone in 1981. The Santa Barbara County Assessor's office says the ranch is approximately 2,700 acres (1,100 hectares). The Chamberlin Ranch is to the west, and the rugged La Laguna Ranch, is to the north. The ranch is located about 5 miles (8 km) north of unincorporated Los Olivos, and about eight miles (13 km) north of the town of Santa Ynez. It is best known for being the home and private amusement park of American entertainer Michael Jackson from 1988 until 2005.
