Franklin lived there for years and has previously downplayed the property’s past, calling it "ancient history" and saying it had no impact on him, according to the outlet.

Today, the estate is designed as a luxury compound. It includes nine bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, along with a theater, poker room, multiple bars and several aquariums, including one built into a dining area.
Outside, the 3.6-acre grounds feature two pools connected by a lazy river, multiple waterfalls, hot tubs, a waterslide, a swim-up bar and a koi pond. A large motor court can accommodate dozens of vehicles.
Despite those features, the home struggled to sell at its previous asking price, raising questions about whether its dark history continues to weigh on potential buyers.
The renewed attention also comes as the Manson murders remain in the public eye.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently blocked the parole of Patricia Krenwinkel, one of Manson’s followers who took part in the killings, saying she still poses "an unreasonable danger to society."
Krenwinkel, now 77, has spent decades in prison. While officials noted her rehabilitation efforts, Newsom said she still lacks full understanding of her role in the crimes.
Manson himself was convicted in 1971 for orchestrating the killings and later died in prison in 2017.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the listing agent and Jeff Franklin for comment.
