Fans shouldn’t back down from the chance to own Tom Petty’s former estate in Encino, California, which is now on the market. The famous icon, who died in 2017, custom-designed the house in the 1980s, when the original house that stood in its place burned down due to arson.
The three-floor house, which features six bedrooms (with two master suites) and 10 bathrooms, is on the market for $4. 995 million.
The mansion – which, at 11,483 square feet, is sizable to say the least – has a stone and timber exterior that is decorated with ironwork terraces.
The interiors boast an airiness and a rustic aesthetic, from the distressed-wood beams to the extensive windows that include the skylights.
Outside, the estate is trimmed with a pool and a waterfall. Petty’s music studio has been reestablished as a cabana, which features an exercise room and a wine cellar.
Petty inhabited the house from the 1980s to 1996, and it was then transferred to his ex-wife, Jane Benyo, during their divorce.
In 2015, the bank foreclosed on the estate. In 2017, the current owners, who are selling the home, purchased it from the bank for $2. 6 million.
