Berkshire Hathaway California Properties has just listed the land where ‘In the Closet’ was filmed.
The 320 acre parcel of land near the Salton Sea in California – and this land is where Michael Jackson’s “In The Closet” music video was filmed.
The owners are the same owners who owned it in 1992 during the filming, and even have original photographs of the filming. Below is also some additionl information on this land as this land can be used for a variety of purposes.
Located on the east side of the Salton Sea in northern Imperial County, California, this land offers much more than just your average piece of desert. This property is strategically located right off of Highway 111 and the Union Pacific Railroad, it has running water, access to electric transmission lines and provides easy access to the Salton Sea for a various number of uses. Located within a zone that permits you to build all sorts of structures, these 320 acres of land are prized by many sectors of the economy for its location alone. Imperial County is becoming a major hub for renewal energy, and with this land located in a high wind velocity area, combined with its 340+ days of sunshine annually, this property is perfect for the wind or solar energy sector. This particular piece of land is unique in that it is one of the only parcels in the vicinity this size that is privately owned – most of the larger parcels surrounding it are owned by the Federal or State Government. In addition to what lies on top of this property, it also hides many prized possessions underneath. This property lies within the Salton Sea Geothermal Area – prized by the sustainable and renewable energy sector. Furthermore, minerals and elements such as lithium, magnesium sulfate and sodium are known to be plentiful in the area.
Don’t expect to see the Spanish Hacienda as all was a set which was dismantled after the video was shot. Here Michael Jackson with Herb Ritts on site:
