Rock icon Sir Rod Stewart has put his nine-bedroom, 12-bathroom California estate back on the market for a whopping $80 million, months after sources said he had grown tired of the “toxic” culture in Los Angeles.
The 78-year-old music legend originally put the mansion up for sale in June, when it hit the market for $70 million. Seven months later it is offered again with an even higher price tag.
Stewart purchased the lot in 1991 for approximately $12 million. It spans three acres and includes the 28,000-square-foot main residence and a 4,500-square-foot guesthouse.
Architect to the stars Richard Landry designed the lavish home, complete with marble floors and a wood-paneled library.
As Stewart wraps up his Las Vegas residency, prepares for a North American tour next year and spends more time in other homes, including one in his native Britain, it seems time to move on.

Sources close to Stewart told Dailymail.com that he was fed up with the 'toxic' culture in Los Angeles and the lack of privacy
In June, insiders close to the star told Dailymail.com that he had grown tired of what he considered the “toxic” culture in Los Angeles and that he had “no privacy.”
He had chosen to return to his home in Britain full-time to support his wife Penny Lancaster, 52, and their sons, who no longer want to deal with the 'inconvenience' of traveling back and forth, he said. the sources are known.
“Penny loves the life she has built outside America and outside LA. She loves nothing more than working for the police,” said a family friend.
The extensive estate is located in Noord Beverly Park, an exclusive community in Beverly Hills that includes some of the most expensive real estate in Los Angeles.
Famous neighbors like Justin Bieber and Adele abound. The 'Rolling In The Deep' crooner bought her home from Sylvester Stallone for $58 million.
Stewart's home is at the end of a winding private driveway. Visitors are greeted by a circular fountain as soon as they arrive in front of the main building.
The three-story main building includes a tea room, a dining room that seats more than twenty guests, two large gymnasiums and an indoor speakeasy with green wood paneling and marble.
Inside is a grand foyer with marble floors, Corinthian columns and ornate mirrors. Crystal chandeliers abound in the formal living room, library, movie theater and eat-in kitchen.

In addition to supporting his wife's ambitions as a working mother, sources close to the family say Rod has also chosen to move across the pond because he knows that's where his two sons want to be.
“There's no way her and Rod's boys want to leave their school and friends in Britain to come to America,” the insider said.
