According to Graceland Auctions, Elvis bought the home at 144 Monovale Drive in December 1970, three years before he and his wife, Priscilla, divorced.

Priscilla lived at the home with daughter Lisa-Marie following her and Elvis‘ separation in February 1972 until the home sold in July 1975.

The most recent sale included both the 1.6-acre (6,500-square-metre) 144 Monovale Drive where the Presleys lived, as well as neighbouring 0.75-acre 120 Monovale Drive.

Both were owned by Paula Kent Meehan, the millionaire founder of shampoo company Redken Products, until her death in 2014. Her trust oversaw them in the years following, property records show.

Of course, the Presley home has undergone a number of facelifts over the years. The seven-bedroom main house currently sports a Tudor-style facade with leaded glass mullion windows, archways and a high-pitched roof. The property also boasts a dual tennis/basketball court as well as a pool, two guest houses and a garage.

At 120 Monovale Drive, meanwhile, a serene koi fish pond wraps around a Japanese teahouse.
