- The eccentric estate featured unique decor and extensive amenities.
- Gaga sold the historic property in 2021 for $6.45 million.
Lady Gaga purchased the former residence of rock legend Frank Zappa in the Hollywood Hills in 2016 for $5.25 million. The eccentric mansion, located in Laurel Canyon, was initially listed following the death of Zappa's widow in 2015. Zappa, known for his unique tastes, had decorated the home with features like a dragon mural, vintage submarine doors, and mosaic work.
The expansive estate included six bedrooms, guesthouses, a pool, and a rooftop tennis court. Zappa originally bought the property in the mid-70s for $75,000 and lived there until his death in 1993, using it as a space to record music and compose. A notable feature was 'The Vault,' a basement archive holding thousands of unreleased recordings.
In 2021, Lady Gaga sold the historic property for $6.45 million to Lizzy Jagger, daughter of Mick Jagger. The contents of 'The Vault' were moved to archival storage. The house was also part of a legal dispute among Zappa's four children after their mother's passing.
