Inside infamous Sharon Tate murder mansion that has gone on market for £50million

An infamous murder house with a horrific secret has gone on the market - and it could be all yours.

For $59.9million (£50million) you could own the mansion that sits on the site of the Hollywood Tate-LaBianca murders at the hands of the Manson Family.

The home, which has been described as the 'epitome of luxury living' boasts nine bedrooms and a whopping 18 bathrooms - all laid out on 21,000 square feet - and looks to be a far cry from what it was in 1969.

Another factor could entice property buyers is that the jaw-dropping Los Angeles mansion has had a $22million (£19million) price reduction, after being on the market for nearly eight months.

The modern-day masterpiece is set on 3.6 acres of land, and includes a movie theatre, spa, gym, hair salon and billiards room.

Meanwhile, the exterior of the property is nothing less than spectacular and showcases a 75-yard pool with three water falls and two Jacuzzis.

Hopeful buyers will also be able to use the 35-foot water slide, swim-up bar, lazy river.

However, those wanting to buy the property must be aware that they will have to look after some pets as a koi pond is included in the purchase, as well as five aquariums.

With an incredible ocean view, this property in Beverly Hills is not to be missed as it has been deemed one of the best homes for luxury real estate in the world.

The estate itself sits at the end of a long cul-de-sac off Cielo Drive, which is just a short drive from Benedict Canyon and Sunset Boulevard.

The address was previously changed from 10050 Cielo Drive to number 10666 (mediadrumimages/DouglassElliman/)

Those who are lucky enough to own 35 cars will have no problem parking them or keeping them at the property, as there are double security gates that open up to a huge motor court for all the vehicles.

And despite the property's heavy and grim history, those who are fans of murder mysteries are sure to snap it up quickly.

Real estate agents at Douglas Elliman have been tasked with selling the home, and have described the property as the 'height of luxury', despite it sitting on the site of one of America’s brutalist murders.

The listing reads: “Enter the residence through the grand front doors into the two-story foyer with a custom staircase and custom dome ceiling.

“Offering a detached guest house, large living spaces, and endless amenities that display the explosive city and ocean views.

“ With an underground garage that can host up to 16 cars, the Estate can accommodate up to 35 cars.

“The Cielo estate is the epitome of world-class Beverly Hills luxury living.”

In 1969, the site that the current home sits on was marked for the the place where the murders of Sharon Tate and her four friends happened.

The five were tragically killed by the followers of Charles Manson on the 8th of August, after the cult-like family entered the home of the actress and her husband, Roman Polanski.

The four members of the Manson family murdered Sharon - who was eight and a half months pregnant at the time - as well as friends Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Steven Parent and Wojchiech Fryowski.

The following night, the four women and Manson himself, committed two more murders, with Mason allegedly showing them how to do it.

Following the horrific incidents, Charles Manson was sentenced to life without parole, with the four women receiving death sentences in what was the longest murder trial in American history - lasting nine and a half months.

In an attempt to remove the home from the link to the horrific crimes, in 1991, the address was changed from number 10050 to 10066 Ciello Drive.

Soon after, the mansion was completely rebuilt, and later acted as the home of writer and producer of “Full house”, “Malcolm & Eddie” and “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper”, Jeff Franklin.

He purchased the property in 2000 for $6.37million (£5.4million). Soon after the sale, Franklin brought in Canadian-American architect Richard Landry - known as “King of the Megamansion” - to erase the horrible history and create the stunning, Spanish Andalusian-style estate that is seen today.

In most recent times, the home has been highlighted in Quentin Tarantino's 2019 movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which re-told the murders and put the property back in the spotlight.
