Watching TV in the 1970s, fans of Little House on the Prairie became very familiar with the Ingalls house in Walnut Grove. But off the set, series star and producer Michael Landon called a Los Angeles Spanish revival house his home and that location has now gone on the market, listed at almost $3.9 million. The house was originally built in the 1920s and Landon would buy it four decades later. At that time, he was not yet America's Pa Charles Ingalls, but rather had won hearts on Bonanza as Little Joe Cartwright. It's money from this series he used to first buy the property. Now, someone else can do the same.

Just four years ago, he had married his first wife, Dodie Levy-Fraser. But the two would split in 1962 because of an affair Landon engaged in. Landon called the 4,795-square-foot house his home for under two years. But the property has seen a lot of history; it was Landon, for instance, who reportedly added the pool within the same year of buying the property. Permits indicate Landon added a pool to the property similar to this one though without the curved corners / Pixabay In the time that the family lived there, it hosted Landon, his wife, Fraser's son from a previous marriage, and their two adopted children. Landon, who was an avid animal lover who owned numerous dogs near the end of his life, also kept canines, cats, and some human guests here and there. Today, the official price is around $3.88 million, and it definitely comes with a lot, both historically and structurally.
