The late rock icon Tom Petty’s beloved Malibu estate, where he crafted many of his iconic hits, is on the market for $16.75 million. Nestled within a private Malibu enclave overlooking the Pacific, the sprawling 2.6-acre compound was Petty’s refuge for over two decades until his untimely passing in 2017.
Upon entering the home’s arched doorway, one is greeted by the meditative sound of cascading fountains flowing throughout the grounds. Inside, coved ceilings and Spanish tile floors evoke Old World charm, while skylights and expansive windows invite the tranquil natural setting inward. The great room’s hand-carved skylight covers and mammoth fireplace anchored many of Petty’s lively gatherings over the years. His beloved music room, where melodies first echoed into existence, sits adjacent.
The chef’s kitchen, with its Mediterranean aesthetic, served as the backdrop for many intimate family dinners. Nearby, a stately formal dining room accommodates 16 guests. The secluded master suite provides a spa-like respite with luxe built-ins and fireplace. The lower-level bedrooms open onto sunny patios overlooking the pool and ocean.
Beyond the main home lies Petty’s professional recording studio, where countless hits took shape. For the right buyer, it could continue to inspire musical masterpieces or adapt into a screening room. With its idyllic blend of nature, privacy, and history, the estate is a creative haven fit for a visionary.
