“梦幻庄园”于1987年由当时如日中天的美国歌星迈克尔-杰克逊花1.13亿英镑购置，占地2800英亩，是全美最奢侈的 豪宅之一。
他根据《小飞侠彼得潘》中令人神往的小岛命名。这里曾是一片歌舞升平的繁荣景象，众多儿童嬉戏玩耍，纵情高歌。据估计，庄园每年的维修费用高达 200万英镑，在鼎盛时期有54名全职员工维护着这座庄园。后因拖欠工资，大批员工纷纷离开，庄园由杰克逊约6名好友和亲属接管。
2005年7月，杰克逊从猥亵男童案中无罪释放后，他就放弃了梦幻庄园，逃到波斯湾巴林。因杰克逊不能付清雇员工资或者支付保险费用，圣巴巴拉 地方政府下令关闭梦幻庄园。自此，梦幻庄园就成了一片荒芜之地。梦幻庄园曾以园内动物园而闻名，大象、长颈鹿、狮子和猴子一应俱全，但是，现在，这些从异 国引进的动物已经流落他处。杰克逊的宠物猴“泡泡”被送进了动物收容所，马被送到儿童骑术学校。这一切似乎都在凄凉地映衬着主人杰克逊日落西山的事业。

Visit the "Neverland" of Michael Jackson at night
"Neverland", one of the most luxurious palaces in the United States which occupies a place of 2800 acre was purchased in 1987 at a price of 113 million pounds by Micheal Jackson, the American singer who at that time reached the acme of his career.
Michael Jackson named it after the fancy island in <Peter Pan>. It used to be a flourishing place with music and dance everywhere, children froliced and entertained, singing heartily. According to estimates, the maintenance costs of Neverland was as high as 2 million pounds, and in its heyday there were 54 full-time workers maintaining it. Later, because the payment of wages fell behind, lots of workers left their jobs, and Neverland was taken over by about 6 persons who were Jackson's intimate friends or relatives.
July, 2005, after Jackson was acquitted of the obscenity case to a little boy, he abandoned Neverland and fled to Bahirain, Persian Gulf. In Santa Barbara, local government issued a command to close Neverland, because Jackson could not pay off the wages or insurance premium of his workers. Hence Neverland became a desert. Neverland used to be famous for its animals inside, elephant, giraffe, lion, monkey, from soup to nuts. But now these animals, which were imported from abroad, have been rambling elsewhere. Jackson's pet monkey "Bubble" has been sent to animal shelter, and his horse, to children riding school. All of them seems to be sadly setting off their owner, Jackson's career, of which days are numbered.
