Jackson didn't commission Neverland's Tudor-style main house. That 13,000-square-foot structure, which sits nestled under a collection of magnificent oak trees, was built in 1981 by real estate developer William Bone, from whom the singer bought the property for $19.5 million in 1987. But the changes Jackson made to the 2,600-acre property over the years -- notably, adding a slew of kid-friendly attractions -- markedly changed the place, softening it and shrinking it to less than full-grown scale.
Glaswegian retirees Jim McConnachie and Frances McChlery decided to build a home closer to city facilities for her sister with young-onset dementia, opting for a property in Comrie, Perthshire, with a south-facing garden.
