Flea, the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist, is reportedly selling his striking heptagonal-shaped home, and two others, on a 5.7-acre estate outside Los Angeles for £7.2 million ($9.8 million).
The musician, born Michael Balzary, is thought to have paid £3.1 million ($4.25 million) for the three-property compound four years ago.
In addition to the spaceship-style home designed by architect Michael Maltzan, there’s also a two-bedroom midcentury-style house that was built by architect Richard Neutra in the early Fifties and a wood cabin/guest house by artist and craftsman Peter Staley of Mind Tree Arts.
The property had been on the market for three years, and reduced by over £2 million , before Flea snapped it up four years ago so it remains to be seen how long it will take the next architecturally-minded owner to come along.
Flea could be on the move to one of two other properties he owns in Los Angeles County, a £5.5 million ($7.5 million) cottage in central Malibu or the Beverly Hills house he spent £10.3 million ($14 million) on towards the end of last year.
