$45M Beverly Hills mansion on Manson murders site for sale
The Beverly Hills estate built on the site of the infamous Manson family murders has hit the market for $45 million. Listed by "Full House" creator Jeff Franklin, the Mediterranean-style mansion stands where Sharon Tate’s home once stood before its demolition.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - "Full House" creator Jeff Franklin is once again searching for a buyer for his sprawling Beverly Hills mansion, relisting the property for $44.99 million following a $5 million price cut.
The listing marks the eighth time in four years the 21,000-square-foot estate has been put up for sale or offered as a high-end rental, as its notorious history continues to impact its market appeal.
What we know:
Built in 2006 by architect Richard Landry, the nine-bedroom, 18-bathroom estate—known as Villa Andalusia—combines South Asian aesthetics with European design, according to the website.
Sitting on 3.6 acres, the property features a movie theater, a poker room, wine cellar, multiple bars, a shark tank, a 20-car motor court, and an expansive pool complex equipped with a lazy river, waterfalls, and a 35-foot water slide.
Franklin purchased the land for $6 million in the late 1990s after the original structure was demolished, Realtor.com reports. He previously stated he put the home on the market because he relocated to Miami.
Timeline:
- August 9, 1969: Members of Charles Manson's cult murder pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four others at the original residence.

What they're saying:
The listing's website describes the residence as "a masterpiece property fit for royalty" and "a home crafted with love and intention," focusing heavily on its resort-style amenities and panoramic ocean and mountain views.
Regarding the land's history, Franklin previously told The Wall Street Journal in 2022 that he considered the Manson connection to be "irrelevant" and "ancient history," stating it had "absolutely no impact on my life whatsoever."
