Planet of the Apes it's not, but someone will go ape over it.

The $1.3 million home of recently deceased Roddy McDowall has gone on the market.

A place Lassie would have loved to come home to, the 47-year-old house is nearly 5,000 square feet and includes a media room with a bar, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The B-movie star also added rose gardens, winding paths, a pool and hot tub to the grounds. Four bedrooms, maid's quarters and a two-bedroom guest suite round out the property.

During some of McDowall's 26 years in the Studio City home, he was visited by Hollywood greats like Liz Taylor, one of his closest friends.
