A Malibu home is listed for $20 million, featuring a petting zoo built by Ben and Stacey Herman to honor their late daughter, Aspen, who died from a rare genetic disorder. After experiencing the joy Aspen found in animal interactions during her hospital stays, they established a non-profit zoo for children with special needs. Located on a ranch, the zoo includes various animals and became highly regarded in the community, hosting events and receiving praise for its welcoming environment, all while supporting families with children facing life-limiting conditions.
"It's a beautiful piece of heaven that gets you out of the city and into the quiet mountains that overlook the coast. Here you will see and get the opportunity to interact with the most adorable and unique animals, learning about each one," exclaimed one visitor on Trip Advisor.
The Hermans created the non-profit petting zoo to honor their daughter, Aspen, providing a space where children, especially those with special needs, can engage with animals.
