Jeff Franklin’s Beverly Hills estate is back looking for a buyer, this time with a $44.99 million asking price, according to Realtor.com.
The creator of Full House has relisted the 3.6-acre property after years of shifting sales plans. Realtor.com reports the mansion has returned to the market for the eighth time in four years, with the latest price roughly $5 million below its previous sale listing.
TMZ first reported the newest listing, according to Realtor.com. The home was previously listed for sale in October 2025 at $49.95 million and was later offered as a rental for $247,500 a month, Realtor.com reported.
Franklin first put the estate up for sale in January 2022 with an $85 million asking price, according to Realtor.com. Since then, the property has moved on and off the market and taken multiple price reductions.
A showbiz mansion with a dark address
The current home, known as Villa Andalusia, sits on land where a different house once stood: the home where followers of Charles Manson killed actress Sharon Tate and four other people on Aug. 9, 1969.
Realtor.com reports that Tate, who was pregnant, was staying at the house while her husband, Roman Polanski, was out of the country. Manson Family members killed Tate, celebrity hairstylist Jay Sebring, coffee heiress Abigail Folger and writer Wojciech Frykowski inside the property, according to the report. Steven Parent was found shot dead in the driveway.
The former house, once owned by music producer Terry Melcher, was later demolished. Franklin bought the land for $6 million before the original structure was fully torn down, according to The Wall Street Journal, as cited by Realtor.com.
Franklin told The Wall Street Journal in 2022 that he saw the property’s connection to Manson as “irrelevant” and “ancient history,” and said it had “absolutely no impact on my life whatsoever.” He also told the Journal he was selling because he had moved to Miami and no longer needed the Los Angeles-area home.
Inside Villa Andalusia
The mansion was completed in 2006 and designed by architect Richard Landry, Realtor.com reports. The 21,000-square-foot home has nine bedrooms and 18 bathrooms and was built with the look of an Andalusian palace.
The current listing describes the property as a “masterpiece” and highlights its resort-style pool, koi pond, tropical landscaping and decorated interiors, according to Realtor.com.
Features include a theater room, poker room, multiple bars, two garages, a large aquarium and a motor court with room for 20 cars, Realtor.com reported. The property also offers views of the ocean and mountains.
The grounds include a wading pool and an infinity pool joined by a lazy river, according to Realtor.com. Each pool has a hot tub, and the backyard also includes a 35-foot waterslide, six waterfalls, a firepit, a koi pond and a swim-up bar.
Franklin created Full House in 1987 and served as showrunner until 1992, Realtor.com reports. He later created the sequel series Fuller House in 2016.
He also once owned the San Francisco property used for exterior shots of the Tanner family home, according to Realtor.com. He remodeled that home and sold it in 2020.
