Neverland Valley Ranch is a developed property in Santa Barbara County, California, most famous for being the former home of American pop musician Michael Jackson. It is named after Neverland, the fantasy island in the story of Peter Pan, who never grows up.
The ranch is located about five miles (8 km) north of unincorporated Los Olivos, and about eight miles (13 km) north of the town of Santa Ynez. The property covers an area of over 2,800 acres (11 km2).[1] The area surrounding Neverland previously consisted of working ranches; today, the area is made up of vineyards.

Hello my name is faith and my visit to Neverland Valley Ranch was an unexpected and amazing surprise.
It was the day Michael was in court for his verdict. I was ten years old. My mother, me and my younger sister headed out to Santa Barbra after hearing that he was inviting fans to come celebrate at his house so we got in our car and drove.
We arrived about two and a half hours early hoping to catch a glimpse of Michael. A group of three were also there, two women and a little boy. My mother and the women approached the first gate and told the security guard that we were supporters of Michael and asked if we could go in. I froze at the site of an opening gate. I was ecstatic my only wish was to meet the man I looked up to since the age of two.
Now i was entering the gates of the most peaceful place I’ve ever been to. We drove for quite a while me and my sister could see the magnificent gold gates and we stared jumping up and down. As we walked in my mind was clear as the sky. All I could feel was warmth and happiness. All of my fear and problems just drifted away. The most amazing thing was not only were we in Neverland we were the only ones there and had the whole place to our self’s for two whole hours. This place was beyond disneyland it was peaceful and clam me and my mom and sister took a twenty minute walk and just took in all the statues the water fountains and beautiful plants. Its hard to explain the feeling you got there it was not weird not at all unusual but just too perfect for words.

MICHAEL JACKSON’s doctor CONRAD MURRAY has been told he will stand trial over the singer’s death in 2009, reports the Associated Press. A judge in Los Angeles ordered that there was sufficient evidence to support a possible finding of guilt at a trial in which the cardiologist will be charged with ‘involuntary manslaughter’. The accusation relates to Jackson overdosing on the powerful anaesthetic ‘Propofol’.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge MICHAEL PASTOR said that after listening to six days of testimony at a ‘preliminary hearing’, he deemed it appropriate that Murray should face trial and that his medical license should also be suspended. The ruling now sets the stage for what will be one of the most high-profile criminal trials in years, and Murray is likely to stick to his initial plea of not guilty. The doctor’s attorney ED CHERNOFF accused the judge of putting Murray’s patients in danger by revoking his license, saying, “If you do that, he’s dead in the water. He has no practice anymore. His patients have no doctor”. A prosecutor said in his closing statement, “Because of Dr. Murray’s actions, Michael is gone. Because of Dr. Murray’s actions, Michael’s children are left without a father”.
The case will attempt to determine how a lethal dose of Propofol got into Jackson’s system, and Murray’s defence team are likely to stand by their early suggestion that the singer either injected himself with the drug or drank it while Murray wasn’t looking.
