The California home which was in escrow for sale to influential guitarist Jimi Hendrix at the time of his death is currently under contract after recently being listed for $3.8 million.
Built in 1968, the 4,682-square-foot Spanish-style home was designed by Harry Gesner. Accessed by a long, private driveway, this largely renovated estate, with nods to original charm and vision, contains some textured vintage details. Distinctly private and surrounded by nature, it is tucked away into the Post Office Tract in Topanga, with mature oak trees and sweeping 360-degree vistas of the ocean and Topanga State Park.
