Mansion On Sharon Tate Murder Site For Rent

Jeff Franklin’s Beverly Hills estate at 10066 Cielo Drive is being marketed as a luxury rental at $247,500 a month, according to active broker listings and recent real-estate reports. The nine-bedroom property stands on the site formerly known as 10050 Cielo Drive, where Sharon Tate and four others were killed in August 1969 by followers of Charles Manson. The original house was demolished in 1994, and the address was later changed to 10066 Cielo Drive. Franklin, the television producer who created “Full House,” has owned the property for roughly two decades, according to prior reports and current coverage. ### Which property is actually being rented? 10066 Cielo Drive is the current address attached to the rental listing, not the original 1969 house. Douglas Elliman’s listing describes the property as a 21,000-square-foot residence on about 3.6 acres with nine bedrooms and multiple baths, while Realtor.com also shows it as an active rental at $247,500 per month. The current mansion is presented in listing materials as Villa Andalusia, with views across Beverly Hills and a long roster of luxury amenities. (elliman.com) The current structure is a later build. Britannica and the Pacific Coast Architecture Database both say the house where Tate was killed no longer stands, and that a new residence was completed on the site after the 1994 demolition and address change. ### How does this connect to the Sharon Tate murders? August 8-9, 1969, is the date that fixed the property in American crime history. (elliman.com) Tate, who was pregnant, was killed at the house along with Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski and Steven Parent, according to Britannica’s account of the case and historical references on the property. The notoriety attaches to the land and former address, even though the present mansion is a different building. (britannica.com) The address changed from 10050 to 10066 after the demolition. Historical references including Britannica and architectural records describe that renumbering as part of the property’s post-1994 redevelopment. ### Who owns the mansion now? Jeff Franklin is the owner identified in recent coverage of the rental offering. Realtor.com and other recent reports say Franklin put the estate up for rent after trying to sell it, and older reporting cited by current outlets says he bought the property for about $6 million when it contained a partially finished mansion. (britannica.com) Richard Landry is the architect named in marketing materials for the estate website tied to the property. That site describes the house as an Andalusian-style mansion and lists nine bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, figures repeated in several recent stories about the rental. Some broker databases list fewer baths in structured fields, but the nine-bedroom count and 21,000-square-foot size are consistent across the current listings reviewed. (realtor.com) ### Why is the asking rent drawing so much notice? The $247,500 monthly price is the detail that has pushed the listing back into headlines. Recent reports from Realtor.com and local outlets frame the rental as the latest turn for a mansion that had previously been offered for sale, including at $50 million in 2025 after a higher asking price in 2022. (villa-andalusia.adambrawerestates.com) Franklin has previously downplayed the site’s connection to the murders. Current reports, citing earlier Wall Street Journal reporting, say he described that history as “irrelevant” and “ancient history.” Those remarks have resurfaced as the rental listing circulates. ### What can a reader verify right now? (realtor.com) Douglas Elliman and Realtor.com both currently show the property as available to rent at $247,500 a month. The listing pages identify the address as 10066 Cielo Drive in Beverly Hills and describe a furnished luxury residence with nine bedrooms and roughly 21,000 square feet. As of May 14, 2026, those public listings remained accessible through the broker platforms. (elliman.com) (cbs17.com)
