Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham drops $20.6 million on Los Angeles mansion

Lindsey Buckingham, guitarist and singer of celebrated rock band Fleetwood Mac, has spent US$14 million ($20.6 million) to secure a lavish mansion in Los Angeles.

Set over 2225 square metres of prime real estate in the affluent locale of Brentwood Park, the home exudes timeless style, indicative of its original 1934 construction.

Boasting four bedrooms, five bathrooms and an internal footprint of 511 square metres, the abode offers generous proportions, and we’re not surprised Buckingham fell in Big Love with the home.

Although its construction isn’t far from a century old, the house has been thoughtfully and tastefully modernised recently, with modern amenities that prioritise comfort and entertaining.

Features include a professional chef’s kitchen with luxury appliances, a vast library replete with a wet bar and timber panels, a grand entrance foyer and a generous master suite.

Outside, there’s a sizeable swimming pool flanked by a sumptuous-looking alfresco and lounge area, perfect for entertaining on warm summer evenings. 

Manicured grounds and established hedges and trees provide excellent privacy, and a modern security system throughout will ensure that no pesky paparazzi go unnoticed.

To the side of the main home, there’s also an additional one-bedroom guest villa, as well as a detached three-car garage and a small but charming motor court.

Buckingham purchased the listing from movie producer Lauren Shuler Donner.

Donner hadn’t owned the property long, though. According to Dirt.com, Shuler picked up the residence just last year, paying US$13 million ($19.1 million) at the time.

Although the rockstar has had to fork out an extra bit of cash to secure the property, with a net worth thought to be around $150 million, we’re guessing Buckingham wasn’t left feeling like a Sad Angel.
