The “cursed” mansion where Sharon Tate was murdered back in 1969 is back on the market – but this time as a rental property.
Full House producer Jeff Franklin has abandoned his attempts at selling the lavish property and is now hoping to find tenants for the sprawling Los Angeles estate.
The 21,000-square-foot Andalusian-style palace, Villa Andalusia, is situated on 3.6 acres in Beverly Hills.
The property was last listed for sale at $50 million, according to Realtor.com.
Franklin, who now lives in Miami, has marketed the residence for lease bragging about the “breathtaking views,” “lush tropical landscaping,” and calling it a “masterpiece property fit for royalty.” However, the listing does not mention that it is situated on the site where a brutal mass murder took place in the early hours of August 9, 1969.
At the time a horrifying scene unfolded when Charles Manson’s cult entered the house that was on the site and murdered actress Sharon Tate. The star was eight-and-a-half months pregnant at the time, and was killed alongside celebrity hairstylist Jay Sebring, coffee heiress Abigail Folger, writer Wojciech Frykowski, and Steven Parent.
Manson’s followers had embarked upon a two-night killing spree where they also murdered supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, in a horrifying attack where 169 stab wounds and multiple gunshot injuries were inflicted to the victims.
The original home that stood on the site was demolished and Franklin purchased the land for $6 million, before hiring famed Hollywood architect Richard Landry to design him a new estate. The residence was completed in 2006 and Franklin lived there for almost two decades.
He appeared to be unfazed by the history of the land. Franklin previously told the Wall Street Journal, “I wanted to incorporate all the influences that I love from various cultures around the world. There’s a lot of California Casual, and then we add SeaWorld.”
He then told the publication that the connection to Manson and the murders was “irrelevant” and “ancient history,” and that it had “absolutely no impact on my life whatsoever.”
The property boasts nine-bedrooms, 18-bathrooms, a 75-yard pool which is connected by a lazy river to a second infinity pool, which features six waterfalls, two hot tubs, and a 35-foot waterslide flowing between them.
The residence also features a swim-up bar, koi pond, firepit and private grotto on the outsider. Meanwhile, inside there is a home theater, poker room, billiards room, hair salon, multiple bars, a spa, a gym, and six aquariums, including a shark tank which is situated in the dining room.
