Mansion on Tate Murder Site Rents $247K Monthly

Jeff Franklin’s Beverly Hills estate at 10066 Cielo Drive is being offered for rent at $247,500 a month, according to active real-estate listings published in May. The property sits on the site of the former 10050 Cielo Drive, where actress Sharon Tate and four others were killed on Aug. 8-9, 1969, in the Tate murders. The original house was demolished in 1994, and the rebuilt estate now carries a different street number. The current listing puts one of Los Angeles’ most notorious addresses back on the market, this time as a luxury lease. ### Which property is actually being rented? 10066 Cielo Drive is the address on the current rental listing, and Douglas Elliman shows the property as available for $247,500 a month under MLS 25571549. Realtor.com also lists the home as an active rental at the same price. Both listings describe a 21,000-square-foot residence on about 3.6 acres in Beverly Hills. (elliman.com) Nina Hunt of Simco Enterprises Inc. is named on the Realtor.com listing, while Douglas Elliman carries the same property record with the monthly asking rent. The home is being marketed as a furnished residential lease with terms that can extend beyond a year, according to listing data carried by real-estate platforms. ### Is this the same house where Sharon Tate was killed? (elliman.com) Britannica identifies 10050 Cielo Drive as the Los Angeles home where Sharon Tate was murdered on the night of Aug. 8-9, 1969. The current rental is not that original structure. Multiple historical accounts say the former house at 10050 Cielo Drive was demolished, and the rebuilt property took the new address 10066 Cielo Drive. (elliman.com) The address change matters because the listing is for a newer mansion on the same site, not for the 1969 residence itself. Reports on the current offering, including Realtor.com’s account, describe the property as standing on the murder site tied to the Manson Family case. ### What does the listing say comes with the rent? Douglas Elliman’s listing says the home has nine bedrooms, 12 baths and 21,000 square feet. (britannica.com) Realtor.com describes the property as a 9-bedroom, 12.5-plus-bath single-family home on a 3.6-acre lot. Other listing aggregators based on the same MLS entry describe additional half-baths, which appears to explain why some secondary reports cite a higher total bathroom count. (realtor.com) The marketing materials emphasize scale and amenities rather than history. Listing copies carried by real-estate sites describe panoramic views, entertainment spaces and resort-style features, while recent coverage identifies the estate as Villa Andalusia, the custom mansion Franklin built after acquiring the property. ### Why is it for rent now instead of for sale? (elliman.com) Realtor.com reported on May 7 that Franklin had previously listed the property for sale at $50 million in April 2025 before shifting back to the rental market. Robb Report said in March 2025 that Franklin had relisted the estate for $50 million. The current lease offering follows those sales efforts. (realtor.com) Jeff Franklin, the television producer known for creating “Full House,” has owned the property for years and completed the custom estate in the 2000s, according to real-estate coverage and listing descriptions. Recent reports from Realtor.com and local outlets say the home is now being pitched as a rental after failing to secure a buyer at its for-sale price. (realtor.com) ### Where can prospective tenants find it now? Realtor.com and Douglas Elliman both showed the listing as active when their pages were crawled this week. The property appears under 10066 Cielo Drive, Beverly Hills, California, with the asking rent set at $247,500 per month and Nina Hunt named as the listing broker on Realtor.com. MLS 25571549 remains the key identifier for the rental across syndication sites, including Compass and other listing portals that mirror the same offering. (realtor.com) As of May 14, 2026, the next step for any tenant is the same as on other high-end leases: contact the listed broker through the active rental posting and request availability or a tour.
