This dramatic price cut certainly turns heads, and adds intrigue to the estate’s rich history, as it sits on the infamous site of the 1969 Manson murders. While the original house was demolished in the '90s, the property’s dark past only adds to its mystique.

The 21,000-square-foot estate, designed by renowned architect Richard Landry, spans over three-and-a-half acres on Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon.

The home boasts nine bedrooms, 18 bathrooms, and an extraordinary backyard that resembles a high-end resort, complete with waterfalls, a koi pond, a lazy river, and a 35-foot water slide leading to a hidden grotto.

“This is one of the most exciting pools we have ever designed—it features a beach entry, steam cave, spa, waterfalls over a grotto, and a swim-up bar, not to mention the water slide and lazy river ending at an infinity edge with in-water dining and endless city views,” says Landry.

The interior is just as extravagant, beginning with a grand 40-foot foyer with a fountain, leading into an opulent sitting room featuring an indoor shark tank visible from the dining room. The chef’s kitchen is a showpiece, complete with a stone pizza oven, high-end appliances, and expansive windows framing breathtaking views.

Franklin, who purchased the property over 25 years ago for just over $6 million, spent years perfecting every detail of the estate. Since moving to Miami, he has also offered it for rent, asking $250,000 per month.
