International music icon Juan Gabriel—known to his fans as “Juanga” and “El Divo de Juárez”—transferred ownership of his 10-acre compound in the affluent Broward County town of Southwest Ranches to his son, Ivan Aguilera, in 2015. The legendary Mexican singer-songwriter, who sold over 100 million records worldwide during his 45-year career, died a year later at age 66. Gabriel originally acquired the property in 1995 for around $1.3 million; it later sold in 2022 to an unnamed LLC, which invested millions to transform it into a resort-style oasis.
Today, the fully reimagined spread has returned to the market for $38.9 million. Listed jointly by Angeline Earnest of Coldwell Banker Realty and Tommy Crivello of the Tommy Crivello Real Estate Group, the self-contained village, totaling 33,699 square feet, is anchored by a five-bedroom, 11,000-square-foot main home spanning two levels.

Five additional structures, seamlessly connected by manicured grounds, ponds, and two swimming pools, include a three-bedroom guesthouse, an entertainment clubhouse with a movie theater and cocktail bar, and a wellness center with a gym, steam room, dry sauna, and cold plunge. A 10,500-square-foot, climate-controlled basketball facility could easily serve elite athletes or double as a world-class auto showroom.
Neighboring an equestrian facility and an exotic animal retreat in Sunshine Ranches—an exclusive enclave that is also home to Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen—the sprawling grounds feature walking paths, fruit orchards, murals and art installations, and a screened pavilion hovering above a koi pond.

When Gabriel passed away in August 2016, his vast real estate portfolio reportedly included more than 30 properties across Mexico and the United States. These holdings ranged from a Colonial house in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of San Miguel de Allende to a massive Las Vegas mansion outfitted with a 1950s-style diner and an underground nightclub.
A 1940s home he long owned in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, has been preserved and opened to the public as Museo Juan Gabriel (the Juan Gabriel Museum) to honor the superstar’s enduring legacy.
