A Las Vegas compound once home to Michael Jackson will go on the market for $19.5 million. The pop star rented the gated estate from 2007 until 2009, when he died in California, said the listing broker.

According to listing agent Eddy Martinez of Miami-based World Properties, the 1.8-acre estate includes an 8,500-square-foot, three-story main house with three bedrooms and seven bathrooms as well as an elevator, spa treatment rooms, two kitchens and a large conference room.

There's also a large guesthouse and a chapel done in a Gothic style. Grounds include a tennis court, basketball court and fountain.

Mr. Jackson and his children primarily lived in the property's 5,000-square-foot guest cottage, which has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, family room and dining room.

Mr. Jackson housed his staff in the main home on the property, according to Mr. Martinez, and converted its master suite into a recording studio.

The two buildings are connected by an underground tunnel with a bar and art gallery; Mr. Jackson could use the tunnel to avoid helicopters and paparazzi.

The home is owned by Aner Iglesias, a real-estate investor. It initially came on the market in 2009 for $12.8 million. The property has been used meanwhile for private events, weddings and diplomatic ceremonies.

Mr. Martinez said the price increase reflects a dramatically improved market from when the home listed previously.
