Jackson

"It would be nice to have Beckham there," said Morrison,

although she quickly added that Jackson "was always a

good neighbor."

Jackson bought the property years ago from a local cattle

rancher and turned it into his personal playground, naming

it after the mythical land of Peter Pan where boys never grow up.

The singer, who was a star before he reached his teens,

has said it was an effort to recreate the childhood he was

denied.

He installed a zoo stocked with exotic animals and more than

a dozen amusement park rides, including a merry-go-round

and a train to rival Disneyland's.

During the ranch's heyday in the late 1980s and 1990s,

Jackson would frequently bring ill or disadvantaged children

by the busload to the ranch to enjoy it with him.

Since he left in 2005 the exotic animals have been removed

and the ranch is said to have fallen into disrepair."No one is

living here," a security guard at the front gate said this week.
