Lindsey's House SOLD!!!

[WelshWitchPMD]

Go Your Own Way

Former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and his wife, Kristen, sold their Bel Air, Calif., home for close to its $21.5 million asking price. Mr. Buckingham purchased the property in 1980, when a 1940s Contemporary home stood on it. In 1999 the couple tore down the existing house and spent the next three years building a new home with Los Angeles-area architect Kevin Clark. The 10,000-square-foot house, with wrought-iron balconies and terra-cotta floors, has five bedrooms and eight bathrooms on 1.25 acres. The property also has a swimming pool and a recording studio used by the 55-year-old Mr. Buckingham. A buyer was not named. Jeff Hyland and Mark Wollman, of Hilton & Hyland in Beverly Hills, had the listing. Mr. Wollman says the couple recently purchased another home in the area. The Buckinghams declined to comment.


I got this from the Legacy board. They put 'FORMER FLEETWOOD MAC GUITARIST".

Glad they sold the house, but DANG, it was gorgeous. I loved that staircase...I am obsessed with staircases. LOL

I am just wondering what they did with that headboard? I know that people either loved or hated it.

That's odd to me that Buckingham would put that much work into that house only to sell it? Hell, he's lived there for years! Must've had something to do with his wife I'll bet.

For the price he was asking, chances are the furniture was included. There are houses bigger than his on the hills of Bel Air with the same view that have been sold for much less. Peace out, headboard. I hope the lamps went with you

Do ya think?-

I live in LA and am more than familiar with the value of property here -
and I'm still astonished that he got 21 million for it.

Just an indication of just how wealthy Fleetwood Mac is. It's also proof to all the sceptics out there that this band doesn't tour for the dough. They don't need any more money - they just love to play.

Bull-oney. If it WEREN'T for the money, tickets would be at a REASONABLE price, and clearly they aren't. They probably don't need the money, but they sure want it. Look at tickets for Petty, etc. It's pure and simple greed(I'm not trying to offend, but it's the plain and simple truth). 2+2.

As much as I hate to I have to agree with you on that. Its a shame too, they could be playing for a wider audience if the prices were more reasonable. Both Mac and Stevie would probably sell out all their shows if the price was right.

I figure, if the press considers every album & tour a "reunion", then in between times, when there isn't an active "Fleetwood Mac", they'll always be considered "former members".

The news even made last Friday's WSJ. Now we know what Lindsey would look like on a dollar bill (see attachment).

LOL-wife comes with it...that's funny.

At least he won't get stalked anymore. The stories I hear of people driving by that house...I don't blame him a bit. I hope he never gives out his new address.
